Pros

Easy entry level job if you have no other option. Full gym on site...not that you have time to use it, or be allowed in the building off schedule.

Cons

Zero tolerance for unforseen time off. Our training class was literally told by the GM "Lets say you use your three occurrences and get in a car accident and need to call in a fourth time within a 90 day window. Well we would have to fire you for attendance" Amy company that would fire you while you're in the ER need to evaluate their values. Marketing themselves as a cell phone provider for elderly yet force you to cell smart phones to customers that literally call in "because their phone is broken" only to find out they don't know how to turn on their basic flip phone....Then mark you down for long call times. Every call is completely scripted. If you like reading the same sales script to EVERY customer this might be the job for you. If you like being lied to by the owners (which happen to be Angel Investors) this might be the position for you. If you like being docked for sick time when the entire call center had to call in due to an overwhelming amount of snow and hazardous road conditions, this might be the job for you. This was the WORST call center job I've ever had. Their "Now hiring" sign on the side of the road is up year round for a reason ; poor management name and poor ownership. Lastly they don't even have their own cell service. They piggy back off of TMobile and ATT which happen to have one of the worry signal reliability second to sprint. I could go on and on... Lastly don't plan on finishing out your two weeks when you put in your notice. They will let you show up at 5am, then escort you out like an outcast. Take my advice, don't apply unless your desperate, and when you quit, do it via email.

Pros

Consumer Cellular has an incredibly supportive culture where leadership, fellow trainers, and other departments work together and genuinely want people to succeed. I feel trusted to lead classes, coach new hires, and contribute beyond just delivering training. The role allows me to use my strengths in teaching, coaching, and developing others while making a meaningful impact on employees' growth and confidence. The remote work environment, work-life balance, stability, and opportunities for continuous learning make it an enjoyable place to work. Most importantly, I feel valued, supported, and empowered to do my job effectively, which has made this one of the most positive work experiences of my career.

Cons

The role requires a high level of energy and engagement each day, and advancement opportunities may be more limited depending on organizational needs. However, these challenges are relatively minor compared to the overall positive experience and support provided by the company.
