Used to be a fun place to work

Pros

Solving problems for customers and having them leave happy is my favorite part. Great coworkers, even in some of the other stores.

Cons

Lousy pay. Even worse with recent pay cuts. Senior management doesn’t care about us or the customer. They only care about making as much profit per sale as possible by marking up prices. Very hard to compete with others. I am very good at Sales and still struggle to make any commission.

Pros

Time off, benefits, and 50% discount on phone bill

Cons

Honestly this was the worst job I have ever had. It is extremely stressful and causes so much anxiety to have to speak with people who cannot pay their bills and feel entitled to have active cell phone service. There is no threshold of what the reps have to listen to before being able to release the call. You are forced to deal with angry customers swearing and calling you names just because they are unable to pay for the service they have used. Supervisors and senior managers don’t seem to care for their employees or even back them up when it comes to dealing with irate customers. There is no room for growth in this company and leaving this job was the greatest career move I have ever made.

Pros

The pay is decent, very good coworkers and some management. Can have bonuses to hit for extra money. Decent employee discount.

Cons

Managers constantly nagging you to hit numbers, harder to hit quotas. The selling techniques they want you to use can be very unethical.
