Reviews about "flexible schedule"
Return to all Reviews- 5.0Apr 20, 2022District ManagerCurrent Employee
Pros
Flexible schedule with good retail hours and shorter days on Sat and Sun. Commission/ bonuses in addition to a base pay.
Cons
Requires standing for long periods of time. A lot of learning curve to catch up with the wireless industry.
- 1.0Jan 31, 2020Sales AssociateFormer Employee, more than 1 yearEden Prairie, MN
Pros
Flexible schedule if there's coverage
Cons
After being one of the top sales employees in the district, for almost two years, they removed the comission from my pay. I lost an average of $10 per hour, from my paycheck. Yet my job responsibilities didn't change. They are also very understaffed. I had to work 6-7days per week, most weeks and often open to close. Employees are not trained properly. The company has a sink or swim mentality, when it comes to training. They do not respect their employees.

Pros
Great flexibility with scheduling and over all enjoyable learning experience.
Cons
Constantly changing commission scales, rarely for the better.
- 2.0Aug 7, 2010WseFormer EmployeeSalt Lake City, UT
Pros
Depending on the Kiosk Manager there is an opportunity to have a very flexible schedule at Wireless Advocates. It's a good first job out of high school or for a college student.
Cons
Kiosk Management duties really don't differ from WSE duties however the pay sure does. The company does not value higher education. In my region I never once had heard of a KM or DM that had any level of higher education. This creates an unprofessional environment with the leadership of WSE due to qualities and skills are assumed by merit of years spent at WSE and nothing else. Traveling District Managers create an awkward relationship of trust due to lying about spying on WSE employees. Wireless Advocates has an 80% churn rate.

Pros
I love the flexible schedule and how you have all the carriers to sell to.good company' to work for.you have your own goals that you can achieve
Cons
The pay has decreased over 2 years.if they increase the pay then this would be the perfect job to work at
- 4.0Jun 25, 2013Kiosk ManagerCurrent Employee, less than 1 yearFoster City, CA
Pros
Great commission structure and plenty of incentives and the easiest sales goals in the wireless industry. Positioned inside the 2nd best retailer in the united states so there is plenty of traffic for lots of $$$. If you work under a leader who knows how to develop you then you will not only make money but you will become closer to mastering the skills of a wireless sales expert.
Cons
Flexibility of schedules are tight. If you fall under a bad manager then the job becomes very difficult if they do not know how to coach you to success. Poor worklife balance due to having to communicate with kiosk on days off from manager up. Does not apply to sales reps.
- 2.0Nov 2, 2020Kiosk ManagerFormer Employee, more than 1 year
Pros
Flexible scheduling if your kiosk is staffed Good pay
Cons
High turnover among employees Very Isolated sometimes being off main isles
- 2.0Jan 18, 2015WSE Wireless Sales ExpertCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearSilver Spring, MD
Pros
Fast money for those who can pick up on the different offers by each carrier
Cons
upper management is terrible. Too busy micro managing via text messages rather than speaking to people face to face or even over the phone. Schedule is not flexible if your location is under staffed which is the case 90% of the time. Unrealistic expectations are set for everyone. Pay scale sucks and never benefits WSE's but always the managers.
3 - 1.0Apr 23, 2022Sales AssociateFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsArlington, VA
Pros
Flexible schedules and decent pays
Cons
Upper management is horrible, uncaring and unorganized. To them, you are just replaceable any time.
- 2.0May 20, 2015WSE Wireless Sales ExpertFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsPoway, CA
Pros
Flexible hours and works with your school schedule.
Cons
Poor training, poor management, company that only cares about results and not the customers, to make the most money you have to work late shifts and weekends, huge cuts in commission.
