Pros
I have a background in childcare are almost zero experience in customer service and sales. I have felt very comfortable the entire time and I have every tool and resource I can imagine. Im a quick learner so everything is fun for me. I honestly thought they would over look me but I feel a part of the team and Ive only been here for a couple of weeks!! I love all the one on one attention, the team environment, and the activities we do together!! Also Kayla seems a bit intimidating up front but she is actually really nice and totally relatable. Im really enjoying how hands on she is!
Cons
I had to get used to being a morning person but I am starting to transition well because I love the environment so much!! There is some traffic in the area early in the am so leave with enough wiggle room!!
Pros
Very fun and inviting environment. Great opportunity for entrepreneurs to grow and learn all about business. Everyone is very welcoming and make work exciting everyday. The CEO is an amazing role model and really hands on with developing each and every employee. She works with you to improve anything you are struggling with and praises you for all the skills you're excelling in.
Cons
It's unfortunate that people may look at this job and think it's a "too good to be true" situation and be skeptical about applying because of the fast rate you can grow to management and the great compensation involved although it may seem that way it's completely untrue and I encourage anyone to apply, you won't be disappointed.
Pros
The compensation plan has real opportunity, if selling Satellite TV is something you're comfortable with (helps if you don't actually care about what's best for the customer, or you'd tell them to get Netflix). This small company is an offshoot of a larger company that handles Direct Sales programs in a multitude of stores, those opportunities exist to owners who prove worthwhile. Some warehouse employees are awesome. Team nights (although photos attached presently are from the larger Tacoma office that this company has branched off of). Some of the people you will work with, here and from the attached Tacoma office, are genuinely good people, constantly improving.
Cons
Lack of (actual) training (partly a result of the below, no time for it when the owner is staffing stores themselves). Short-staffed, VERY high turnover, don't expect to hold this job for long. Standing 10.5 hours a day (contractually obligated to staff their stores open to close - full shifts or half shifts available, understand your time requirements) Who REALLY wants Satellite TV service? It's western Washington, home of Microsoft, no one wants Satellite service. Some warehouse employees are nuts. The Wireless guys will make fun of you a lot, since they're making more and doing less, many people end up leaving to work there. No medical benefits. Lack of team work (you spend an hour a day 3 days a week meeting in the Bothell office with your 'team' before going to the warehouse, otherwise you occupy the store alone. No, talking on the phone does not equate to teamwork) Some of the people you will work with are users, as the business type attracts; so it goes.
