Pros

Pay structure isn't bad, per say. But it could be a lot better. Lets just say that a lot of people in this company are making great money. But sales consultants......not so much. Employee discount is bot bad, but the accessories are way over priced so you end paying more than what you would elsewhere still, in most cases.

Cons

Constantly changing schedule. Sometimes with less than a days notice. No option is given. EVERYTHING is your fault. Always. There is no explanation as to why sales are low, other than you are not doing your job properly. The other reviews are not exaggerating one bit. If you work here, prepare to be constantly threatened and intimidated. You had better have a perfect sale. Every time. Or else. Upper management is not willing to work with consultants to help better their sales. They only know how to threaten because thats how this company operates. On a conference call, Upper management actually blamed the bad glassdoor reviews for A Wireless on "poor performing employees who have no one to blame but themselves". Again, they are not accountable. Ever. The blunt of everything wrong with the company is blamed solely on the sales consultants. Its clear that they are not even willing to review any of the issues that may be caused by higher ups or just the way the CEO runs his company in general. Pricing is outrageous and not competitive whatsoever. A wireless is maybe the only cellular store I have ever seen that offers no free phones. Customers constantly walk out and take their business elsewhere. And who can blame them? Its pretty common knowledge that you can get free, penny or dollar phones anywhere when upgrading. We lose customers everyday because of the non competitive pricing. And yes, the other reviews are true. A Wireless does NOT pay its employees for extra work that they require you to do. And regardless of what they say, it is required. You are told via email and by upper management that off the clock conference calls are mandatory. I wish I kept track of the time I have spent on calls in the 3 years I have worked for this company. They would owe me a lot of compensation. The same with GroupMe. You are told that it is required to be checked on your days off. Those who do not participate on days off are talked to about it. The mandatory "greeting" is ridiculous. Most people do not want to shake your hand. Especially during cold and flu season.

An email was sent from the CEO to all leaders in the company reminding them that all conference calls and groupme, etc can not be required when employees are off. If you still have this issue, please file a complaint with HR so it can be resolved. Thank you. We have not offered phones for free before a rebate for years because we find the customers' charge back rate on these phones so high it makes it unprofitable.

Pros

There are some good people who work there. Unfortunately there are a lot more who are not

Cons

Victra has no real concept of work-life balance. I heard multiple people in leadership refer to it as “work-life integration,” which felt less like a benefit and more like a warning label. As an experienced recruiter, I was brought in for a project that was poorly planned from a staffing standpoint from the beginning. It was surprising to learn that some of the leadership involved had no formal background in recruiting, staffing, or HR, despite making decisions that directly impacted those functions. The company often seemed to take a reactive approach to problems instead of building thoughtful, preventative strategies. I heard the phrase “building airplanes in the sky” used more than once, and unfortunately, that seemed to reflect the actual operating model: move fast, figure it out later, and let employees absorb the chaos. The culture felt heavily rooted in grind/hustle expectations, with little regard for sustainability or employee well-being. There are talented people there, but the leadership approach makes it difficult to feel supported, valued, or set up for long-term success.
