Current Employee – been working at Cellular Sales for more than 3 years

ProsThis is the best sales company I've worked for! The most fun I've ever had and by far the most money I've made. You have the chance to help a lot of people while making a great salary. The management does a great job motivating their staff!!!!

ConsNot many if any cons I can think of... They are constantly training and educating their employees

Middletown, NY

Current Employee – been working at Cellular Sales full-time for more than a year

ProsGreat Co-Workers
Ability to work more than one Location and not become Stagnant
Flexible Schedule

ConsIrresponsible Young Sales Reps who don't take advantage of the down time
Negative Attitude amongst younger people
If you are here to come to work make your money on shift and leave, it will never happen you need to worry about YOU and not the Store and set yourself up for outside opportunities..THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.

Advice to Senior ManagementYour growth comes from the people, hire people who have a financial responsibilities. When you don't have a kid or a family to provide for, you seem to settle for $2000 a month, when with self promotion and knowing that this job is just on the floor you can have $5000. This isn't about a Location Opportunity, its for someone who can make a lot of traffic for their personal pocket and weed themselves out of the rest.

Knoxville, TN

Current Employee – been working at Cellular Sales full-time for more than a year

ProsConsistent Growth
Entrepreneurial Spirit Driven
Perfect for "GO GETTERS"
Carrer Pathing for Honest, Hard Working, and Responsible Individuals
Excellent Culture
Commission Opportunities as well as Salary

ConsThere is always room for improvement as the company is growing exponentially fast. We are always searching for how to make the 5th star. When we readh that star, the level of expectations are increased. We would love to expand our TV / Radio personality, as we are currently mostly branded by our products and services. This is not necessarily a con, but an opportunity for growth.

Advice to Senior ManagementContinue to reward your stars, provide the conistantly improving tools for the up and coming, and exit signs for others that would do better with alternitive opportunites.

York, PA

Current Employee – been working at Cellular Sales full-time for more than a year

ProsAwesome co-workers
Flexible schedule
Work different locations
Good pay, commission based salary
Opportunities to move up in the company
Perfect for entrepreneurial attitude
You are your own boss, very little micromanaging
Opportunities to move up in the company

ConsThe job becomes addicting and becomes more like your second home and sometimes you need to take a break and spend some time with family.

Not really a con, but would be nice to get payed vacation time.

Advice to Senior ManagementWhen new phones are released, it would be awesome if we could get them right then. And vacation pay would be nice ;)

Knoxville, TN

Current Employee – been working at Cellular Sales full-time for less than a year

ProsCellular Sales has a great work environment with great people. The people that work here treat each other like family and not just co-workers. Hard work is recognized and appreciated. Also seniority has nothing to do with advancement opportunity. I have been with the company for less than a year and have already advanced a great deal.

ConsI have nothing negative to say about Cellular Sales. It is a great place to come and grow both professionally and personally.

Current Employee – been working at Cellular Sales full-time for more than a year

ProsFlexible schedule
The Sales Reps are great Co-workers

Cons100% Commission - can work 8 hours and make $0
Half of your Paycheck could go to deacts
If inventory goes missing, rather than taking a loss, the company takes it out of the reps paychecks
Paperwork messed up several times by the back office resulting in the reps losing money from their checks
Numbers are their ONLY concern
No compensation for the first 2 months you work there
Contacting upper management for help when your pay is at stake - NO HELP. Call to say you need help with a sale to make them more money - they're on it right away.
This company doesn't care about its employees - to them you are disposable and easily replaced

Advice to Senior ManagementCare. You have some awesome employees that give a lot. At least act like you give a sh** about them and mot just how much they can make you.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Baltimore, MD

Current Employee – been working at Cellular Sales full-time for more than a year

ProsYou are able to make your own schedule. There is no management daily in stores so you are free to do whatever you please during your shift.

ConsPay check is never the same! You only get paid once a month and you never know what kind of "deductions" will be taken out. With every 100% commission job you are required to return commission if the sale does not stick. Not only does this company do just that, but you will be charged for the equipment loss as well. At times you could owe double the commission you made on the original sale. Everything is a sales pitch. From career advancements to explainations of commission cuts. Being knowledgeable of market changes and trends is the only way to know the truth about why your commission just got cut by 33% and if you didn't sign the new compensation structure form you will lose your job.

Advice to Senior ManagementHire empolyees that are worth your time and resources. Almost everyone currently working there was previously unemployeed, has a criminal background, has terrible credit, or is just unemployable by any other companies standards. Understand market trends are changing! Retail is not what it used to be and management ignores this fact. All the stores are becoming service centers for customers that purchased equipment online. Stop trying to trick your customers into thinking you are the "real Verizon". Cellular Sales is an authorized retailer and there is nothing wrong with that. Cellular Sales stores can not do the same things as corporate Verizon stores can.

Beaumont, TX

Current Employee – been working at Cellular Sales full-time for more than 3 years

ProsCommission based salary. Freedom of schedule. Opportunity for growth. Ability to manage yourself. Indoor and outdoor sales.

ConsI do not see them as cons I see chances for change and improvement. If you are not motivated and are not able to manage yourself you may not find this to be a fulfilling career

Knoxville, TN

Current Employee – been working at Cellular Sales full-time for less than a year

ProsYou learn valuable communications skills that will benefit you in any work place.

The supervisors are great and really look for ways to help you improve.

There are no egos within management, everyone is willing to help you!

A lot of room for advancement (with the growth of Cellular Sales new jobs are being created everyday!)

If you don't excel in one area, there are several other areas in the call center to excel at.

ConsIf you don't like change or adapt to it well, working at the call center might be challenging for you.

Advice to Senior ManagementContinue to hold workshops and meeting to help better understanding of work standards and new products. Also, continue to promote new positions and opportunities!
