Current Employee – been working at Red Skye Wireless

ProsFun job with not too much responsibility, good coworkers and people in the company, ability to gain experience to apply toward future pursuits.

ConsCommission and hourly wages in comparison with corporate stores is laughable at best. Management ignores employees concerns, inability to notice different volumes by location.

Advice to Senior ManagementListen to your employees concerns, they are on the front lines doing the things you tell them to, and they have to deal with your customers, not you.

Current Employee – been working at Red Skye Wireless

ProsThere are honestly no benefits to working there, other than the fact that it is a job.

Cons-There is only one health benefit option, and it is overpriced.
-Commission payout is a JOKE!
-None of the stores are busy, but they expect you to drive traffic to the store on a minimum wage salary. They don't do any advertising or marketing.
-No discounts
-No appreciation
-No future

Advice to Senior ManagementDon't expect to get "A Players" when you're paying for F players.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Columbus, OH

Current Employee – been working at Red Skye Wireless full-time for less than a year

ProsMost sales staff are pretty cool laid back people and most store manager are also pretty ok

Consupper management is the worst. try to screw the customer on multiple things and additionally try to screw out employees of money. don't nearly pay what they promise when you first start. also keep you at 39 hrs per week so you don't get full time benifits packages.

Advice to Senior Managementsimply raise the base pay. it would overall help the wellbeing of employees and lower what has to be the highest attrition rate anywhere. also don't have 2 weekly phone meetings off of work hours where you don't actually cover anything useful. nobody cares about Wireless Home Phones and nobody ever will.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Alexandria, KY

Current Employee – been working at Red Skye Wireless

ProsGetting to play with some of the new phones that are out is the only thing I like about this job.

ConsManagement knows nothing. Commission rates are not what I was told in my interview. Poor training and no life outside of work with ridiculous meetings that start an hour before or after your shift.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Kansas City, MO

Former Employee – worked at Red Skye Wireless

ProsGain wireless sales experience to go on to a better company.

ConsNever any raises, promotion are dependent on if u get along with your district manager, your job discription is you do everything at min wage, everyone of your paychecks the company finds w readon to take money from you and there is nothing you can do. Do not waste your time and life seriously working for RedSkye.

Advice to Senior ManagementGet out to your stores and help with promotions, marketing, advertising, sales, etc, every district manager i have met has been lazy and has not did their job to the fullest.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Red Skye Wireless full-time for more than 3 years

Pros-A way to gain sales experience for a better job
-Most people depending on what store you get into are fun to work with

Cons-Concerns relayed to upper management falls on deaf ears
-Commission structure constantly changes (usually not for the better)

Advice to Senior ManagementStart listening to the concerns of your employees. Dont just simply write them off if they are not saying what you want to here. Multiple people are my store had the same valid complaints yet nothing was ever done to rectify the situations.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
