Pros

Hours are decent given the environment.

Cons

Asked to do an awful lot with only baseline wages. You're not going to get the best quality rep for that wage for very long, and with the cost of hiring/training, so what gives?!? Multiple, cold "follow up" calls to the same customer pool is borderline harrassment. Seems like HQ is always finding ways to "adjust commissions". EX: They will take re-stock fees out of your paycheck unannounced if they are wavied for a customer, no matter the situation.

Dear Former Employee, Thank you for your feedback and we appreciate the time you worked for Russell Cellular. We implemented a new compensation program that allows an employee to receive up to 2 wage reviews a year. During 2014, RC made the commission system simpler. An "all-in" total sales target qualifies a team member for a monthly commission accelerator. In addition, tablet sales count towards the total sales target and accelerators. The Solution Center was put in place to assist employees and to answer calls regarding customers. Any questions regarding price adjustments should be directed to the Solution Center.
