Retail sales. - RSC Prime Communications Employee Review

Good environment to work in

Systems are difficult to use

Solid day-to-day leadership experience with your team, you own the coaching and scheduling and get real reps developing people. Genuine autonomy in how you manage your employees day-to-day. Commission offers earning upside when the month breaks your way, and running a small store means a close team and a wide range of responsibilities that build a broad skill set.

Almost no real store-level autonomy, nearly everything runs through your DM, and you can't modify or change how the store operates on your own call. You don't control hiring or training; your input is limited to scheduling and coaching. You have authority over your team in every respect except the one that matters most, firing, because the DM prioritizes tenure over performance, since headcount tenure feeds his commission. And the commission structure is the real problem: it's so hypersensitive that virtually everything impacts your payout, which makes earnings feel unpredictable and outside your control no matter how well you actually manage.
