TracFone Wireless, Inc. Reviews

Where to begin.. 1. You will have to work extra hours, a lot. Management in this company sucks. Deadlines are unrealistic, which result in having to stay late almost every day, and working on weekends. Working on Saturdays is very common; they plan their deadlines counting Saturdays as one more work day. This shows the lack of respect and concern that this company has for their employees. TracFone totally misses the entire concept of "Work-Life Balance". Most employees are frustrated, heavily stressed and discontent. I mean, the company makes almost $10 billion in revenue, with only ~900 employees. How is this possible???? Those ~900 employees work like slaves, every day, because the amount of work is uncanny for the few employees. 2. Only 5 PTO days for the first year. What on Earth can someone do with 5 PTO days? Again, employees DO NOT matter. 3. Since the company performs poorly on employee retention (unsatisfactory place to work at), you will spend a lot of time trying to figure out how everything works since no training is ever provided, and asking around takes a long time since a lot of people are new and are just as lost as you are.

Where do you begin? Low turn around is a positive, but it comes with a negative. Majority of employees have been there for 10+ years, and that is how they advance to new positions, worse, managerial positions, director positions, VP, SVP, etc. There is advancement with very little managerial training, if at all. With no training, that means, no proper employer-subordinate behavior. Managers are not interested in employees interacting with anyone above their position, and make it very apparent with many forms of intimidation. Not to mention the amount of unethical behavior that occurs in such a large company. The inter-office relationships among married, single, engaged women and men is outrageous. But what is to be expected when the human resource office is a large part of the issue? They don't condone inter-office relationships, but some of their team members have partaken in such activities.
