Pros

discounted wireless plans through Verizon (and I think AT&T)

Cons

Absolutely no respect for work/life balance. You are expected to be in store around 45 hours per week, which is fine. But then I had mandatory one-hour calls each of my two days off, was expected to work on staffing during off days, was expected to be diligently responsive in group chat during off days, and constantly be calling reps on off days. Their excuse was simply “you’re salaried”. Yes, being on salary means occasionally more than 40 hrs per week may be required and that may mean occasional work on off days…. But I was already in store 45 hrs per week and was basically glued to my phone when I actually had a day off. At one point they implemented mandatory 6 day in store work weeks if you didn’t meet certain weekly metrics. Hopefully this has been shut down, but they take advantage of salaried employees (and the salary is only around $50k, nothing special). Also, the sales reps are MASSIVELY underpaid for the job they are expected to perform and the sales acumen they are expected to display, which makes hiring and maintaining a team near impossible.

Communication poor

Pros

Work your own hours and days

Cons

Lack of communication: a new service order was added on to do every two weeks. Was not informed about this and was caught off guard which then became a conflict with my FT job. This new add on only has a two day window to do the job. Never had a problem with this company when worked with them first time with different manager who always communicated well with her employees.

Thanks for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the flexibility, but we’re sorry communication missed the mark this time. That’s something we’re working to improve, especially when it comes to schedule changes. We appreciate your feedback and will share it with the appropriate leaders to help ensure a better experience for our reps moving forward. If you’d like to share more, please feel free to reach out to feedback@premiumretail.com. We wish you the best!

Pros

I can't think of a single pro this job offers

Cons

Commission system is rigged, you won't start earning commission until you have worked there for three months, but the turnover rate at this place is so high that no one can last that long Sales quotas are unreasonable, especially if you are in a slower store like mine. Only possible way to meet them is by lying to customers and selling them phones/plans that are too expensive and/or they don't need. You are there by yourself during your shifts, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but because of this you are required to keep track of everything you do throughout the day (such as the required PA announcements). If you forget to log something the managers will hound you. The company culture at this place is abysmal. You have to deal with a lot of irate customers. This is true of any retail job but it's worse here because activating customers new phones through the WARP system is terrible. A lot of times things won't work for some weird reason, and the customer gets more and more angry as you try to fix a problem you have never encountered before. This is partly due to the fact that you get very little training when you start. Your first two days in store are spent with a manager, but they don't really help you learn the systems or anything. After that you are thrown into the store by yourself and expected to know everything. Since you are there by yourself it can be hard to get an answer to a question. Often times you will have to call your manager and hope they are available. This place will not outright fire you, instead they will cut your hours slowly until eventually it reaches zero. The entire time you will feel like it is your fault for not hitting your quotas, even though their quotas are unreasonable.
