Pros

Sure, there were fun times. A lot of young people who haven't started careers yet work here and they like to go out and drink after long days of work. Upper management is nice to you, and for good reason.

Cons

-they are hiring all the time. They told me when they hired me that they were looking looking to fill a position ASAP to pressure me to accept the job, when in reality every day they are conducting interviews because of the enormous amount of employee turnover. -they say there is a salary---THERE ISN'T. You have to make at least 4 sales a week to get $500 for that week, and if you work with someone for that day that money is split in half. -I worked here for four months and made $4,000, while filling up my gas tank more than once a week and getting to work at 7:15am and leaving work at 6:45 on a good day. -The job may be "business to business" but by that they mean your best customers will be kids who work at dunkin donuts and need a cell phone with a cheap plan like TMobile, and who are willing to sign up just to get a free LG phone. -like I said, I worked there for 4 months and only two people who were there when I started were still there when I left. The assistant manager had been there for years and was never promoted to his own company. It is really discouraging to think back on this job because I was good at it but I was lied to, told I would be given gas cards and told I would make so much more money, and it was just really crushing to my self esteem to watch how it didn't happen.

Hi There! Seems like you must be an older employee from 3-4 years ago? Well a lot has changed about our company and we have grown a lot since then. We haven't had a male asst manager in over 3 years. So you must be a very old ex employee. We have changed our compensation plan since then. We now have 2 options, base plus commission and a new hire bonus of 500 within first month. You stated that you had to make 4 sale to get paid 500? That's confusing and inaccurate. To earn any commissions you have to perform just like to get paid hourly or to get paid salary you have to do your job, so we are no different. We have been in business for over 8 years and people who work here get paid! I am also confused by what you said about the people? The same people are not there then when you started? Well turn over is in every company but we have very little because we do a second round interview that shows everyone what we do before we offer any positions so when someone accepts they understand everything that the job entails. So I feel as though you came across my company 3-4 years later and maybe because it didn't work out for you or maybe you are not happy where you are now you decided to put a review up. I have no problem taking criticism and I'm glad you wrote this because back then we were starting to work with newer clients and we were trying to figure it all out together and I am not perfect but I did my best to give everyone every thing they needed to be successful here and to do their job well. Now if you felt you didn't do well then that's fine but some of these things in your review are not accurate. I also wish you just reached out to speak to me about it because maybe if you did then I could of clarified some things. If you would like to speak to me about anything I am always free. But I do wish you the best either way. I know no matter what I do and how well I treat people, some people will always find something wrong and have to make others look bad because of their failures or to make themselves feel better. Sometimes no matter how up front I am with anyone there are some people who just feel the need to try to take others down. I get it but it wont. We do very well here and we are 4 th in the nation and I am very proud of our team here and we are excited to expand to our 5 new markets in the next 2 years. Sorry you didn't have a good experience but I still do wish you the best and I hope you found whatever career works best for you. Thanks! Oh and we do gas reimbursements too! Weekly bonuses are given to the reps! Yay! Jolene
