Pros

I find it hard to say one good thing about the company. I excelled in sales but were consistently hurt by management.

Cons

Perks-there are none unless you enjoy giving up your life to Blackbox. Training -there was no onboarding it was training by being thrown into the water and told to swim. Company Values-My tenure was here I saw no values in how they treat people. I saw no supportive upper management and I saw an HR team that wasn't concerned with fixing things.

Pros

Work/life balance is good, it's an 8-5 job with no stress outside of work hours and no expectations to do any work outside of your time in the office because it is an hourly position, which is a low base rate.

Cons

Zero training on the product and virtually no help on a simple transaction based sale. You are expected to do 50 calls a day and are told you are going to have a book of base accounts that will get you to the salary you are "expecting" which is not accurate. A huge majority of the base accounts are given to the Sr Reps and then you are left virtually prospecting a vast majority of the time, which is also not what I was told in the interview process. It is near impossible to make good money on commission here as well based on the compensation plan which they do not let you see until after you take the role. The quality of the product, the refurbished and repaired phones are not good. Many customer complaints while I was there and the management team does not do anything to accommodate customer concerns or complaints but rather leaves the customer out to dry without any focus on customer satisfaction, retention, or conflict resolution.

Pros

Lots of technologies and opportunities but low pay! We work hard and the company remains profitable. Still some good people left at the company.

Cons

Although the company remains profitable we are continually put off when it comes to raises. No salary increase in years! This applies to most employees. Very bad moral. Recently brought in another company to join this office. Has made it really terrible. Very UN-ethical group mostly because of the leadership. Has made going to work very difficult. Too many good people have left the company and many more will leave soon!
