Pros
Has great pay and commission opportunities.
Cons
No worker's handbook, no firing policy that is communicated to employees, does not follow up on big commission checks I worked for RBD for 2 months essentially. I did excellent in sales, I made 100% profit my first month, won an End of Month Bonus first week, and received a gift card for $10 as an award for making the first sale of the day. But apparently that wasn't enough. The next month my sales weren't as good, but I have no way to compare my final numbers. Firstly because I have yet to receive the spreadsheet listing everyone's results in sales for the month. Secondly, because I did not have the opportunity to finish the month out. We use this app called Group Me to communicate with the other sales reps in the state. I made a comment one day when sales were bad that there was a reason there weren't many people in walmart. I talked to every person I came across that day, employees, customers, handed out brochures. But for some reason no one was biting. I made very positive supportive comments all day. But it was interpreted that I was "whining" by making a declarative statement about the lack of customers due to a HUGE concert in town. My troubles begin there and have only gotten worse. I have yet to receive my $950 bonus. I haven't received a termination letter. I was dismissed from employment after making a clearly positive and supportive comment on Group Me. because I was supposed to somehow know without someone telling me that I should not comment any longer on Group Me after being sent home early for not making any sales that day. ???? I was dismissed with a charge of insubordination and lack of performance. I have never done anything that could even be remotely misconstrued as insubordinate. So after this I diligently contacted the company to clear matters up. They ignored me mostly on the matter and after 2 weeks no one involved would contact me to clear the matter up except my immediate supervisor who fought diligently to get me re-hired. I bugged the Office of Finances to death and after a week I was told verbally that the charge of insubordination was dropped. To date--2 months later--still no letter of separation has been issued to me. Still have not received my bonus pay. I cannot get information from my immediate boss to determine if my performance was infact in the lowest tier of sales in comparison to my peers. I cannot get information to get ahold of the supervisor who fired me to discuss what occurred to rectify the situation and to see if I can make sure I don't make the same mistake in the future. Moving forward after being fired from this company is ridiculously difficult. Applicant beware. The supervisor who fired me has a habit of firing people and replacing them with someone who "will do a better job." Not a lot of thought goes into firing people from this business. This is a company that is contracted as part of a huge nationwide Sprint project. This company needs to be reviewed with much scrutiny before issuing a contract with them for any endeavor.
