Pros

I've never worked for a company that was more innovative. Always looking for new and better ways to do things. That includes finding ways to help us do our jobs easier and more efficiently. This company truly invests in their people. If you work hard, put in the effort, then not only can you decide how much you want to make but the President and Vice President are always looking for new ways reward the best of the best. For example 60+ Top employees in different positions and their +1 were flown all expense paid to Cancun for 4 nights. Seriously what's better than that. Now I'm just waiting to see if I win the trip to Hawaii. Small enough company to interact with senior leadership on a regular basis, but big enough to always have room to grow. The company is always growing and creating new opportunities in every level of the company. Commission plan is crazy. 3 sales reps in one store combined for over $10k in commission in a month. They killed it! The company created an internal training site and actively posts videos on promos, contests and best practices to help "me" make more money!

Cons

Not everyone takes Advantage of the opportunities their given. I see a lot of people given the tools and have time invested in them, only to turn around and quit because it's not as easy as they thought it would be. It's sales, not a clerk job. If it was easy everyone would do it. If you're scared of making money go work at Walmart.

Pros

Great company to work for if you are hard working and want to be pro-active as well as earn amazing money. I have fellow co-worker that are willing to put in the work as sales reps making over 50k per year like myself, again AS A SALES REP.

Cons

It's not for everyone, because it is sales. Unfortunately a lot of today's working class are spoiled baby's that had everything handed to them in life, so they have horrible work ethics (not all their fault, more of their parents fault. Those are the ones that leave bad reviews on here. It's not the company, it is sales that they cannot handle. Disregard the negative reviews because they are not valid at all. I love this company and have done a lot of different work and none stack up against this amazing company, sorry I mean family, because that is what it feels like when you are one that is willing to put in the hard work that sales requires.

Pros

You can meet some really good people and make many great friends here. You get to learn about the latest devices.

Cons

They don't pay you point blank period. When working here be prepared to only take home an hourly check. With the new pay structure they are basically ripping off their employees. They feed you some crap about how their top 4 or 5 employees are making $4k checks while everyone else is suffering and getting robbed, and also forget to mention that those employees are at high volume stores. Then they set these high margins for the lower volume stores, and those margins are almost impossible to meet so those employees can't even match the numbers of the higher volume stores almost EVER! It's a shame how they parade the many possibilities of success when you sell but won't pay you for your sales. You could sell so many things here but if the margin set for you has not been met you get paid for nothing and basically used all that effort selling a phone case and screen protector for a $9 and hour check. They give you coupons and sales tactics to help you sell more but then deduct them right out of your check when you use them... all in all they always find a way to rob you and then find a way to justify it. This place is a joke ran by people who care nothing for their employees except to make money off of them.

I am sorry to hear about your frustration and we always appreciate feedback but I do want to address some items. This is retail sales and in order to make money, you have to give customers a great experience and sell solutions that will make their lives easier. Our compensation plan has more upside to it than any other wireless retail in Houston - as long as you perform average or above. In order to receive a payout, you have to sell 22 boxes... that is less than one per day worked. If you are having problems with that, let us know and we can assist you. There are large commission checks handed out and yes we do celebrate them! Here are the actual numbers that you left out (using March 2017 as an example). - Out of 372 Sales Rep Employees - 306 Qualified for a compensation payout. = 83% - Our Top 100 Sales Makers earned an average $1730 - The other 206 Sales Makers earned an average $415! If you are outside of those groups, then we are probably equally as frustrated with your performance as you are but we want to help get you to where you want to be. Please communicate with your leadership so we can help anyway we can. We are very transparent with how the compensation plan works... the individuals who show up and work hard WILL make money. The individuals that show up and wait for things to happen are probably not in the right place. I am not sure which training you are referring to - from your direct leadership or our internal Learning Management System. Everyone that has used our internal iLearn training has raved about how it helps them. Each of us learns differently and we understand that. Let us know how we can help!
