Pros

This company is a sales job not a clerk job and that is what I was told 4 yrs ago and have enjoyed working here. The uncapped commission is what I like the most. If you put the work in you can make great money. The people that do not work out are clerks. If your a sales rep you can make great money if you put in the work

Cons

Taking time off for a vacation can be tough, if you take a week off for a vacation there is no vacation pay but I was told that from the beginning so you just have to plan right.

Pros

Generally, I got along with everyone that I worked with at Csoki -- unfortunately, that's really the only "pro" I can think of for this job.

Cons

Their company values are skewed, at best. The employees who are scamming customers and getting away with it are rewarded, while those who work hard and are honest about the products with the customers are scolded for not hitting sales goals. The concept of "deacts" are outrageous - it was a constant struggle between selling a phone to make a dollar, or not selling a phone because of a deact risk (and the amount of money that would disappear from my paycheck because of it). We never had a set schedule - it would be set for one month at a time, and then change completely for the next month. This was probably the least of my problems - the worst part was driving over an hour to work a shift at a store, when I had a store within twenty minutes of my home. We were constantly switching between stores, which also made it difficult to build a steady customer base. The commission structure pitted me against my conscience every day. The cheaper (worse) a phone was, the more money you made on it. You could sell a cheap phone for a lot of money and really take advantage of the customer -- but in doing that, you run the risk of the customer finding out they were cheated. If you sold a halfway decent phone, the commission was often next to nothing, especially when split between your coworkers on shift. I'm sure that I could continue to list all the reasons why I disagree with csoki's values at its core. But in short, if you are an excellent persuader, content being dishonest with most of your customers about the quality of the device you are selling, and willing to work a ridiculous amount of hours to make a living wage, then, yes, this job is for you.

Pros

This job does provide pretty friendly vacation and sick time pay after 90 days, up to 40 hours each for your first year. They also give paid holidays off unless you're in the insurance department. The new building provides nice amenities like a gym and a catered cafeteria. Coworkers are extremely friendly for the most part, I've made many friends there.

Cons

As stated, the company just moved to a massive new one, and with that came some bad. IMO the family atmosphere that was so highly touted got lost somewhere in the move. There used to several dress up days and pot luck diners which were extremely cheesy but at the same time kept a relaxed and fun atmosphere. You are very much discouraged from walking over to speak with coworkers if it's going to be longer than a 5 second hello. To me, this is the biggest and most unfortunate con, as I remember what it used to be like in the old days. Management often holds you to numbers that are inconsistent, as you will receive two different daily reports with different information. Most managers are fair, however there are a few newer managers that have little-to-no people skills, which seems a bit paramount for someone who works so closely with a varied amount of individuals.
