Pros

Local franchise owner of T-mobile stores, so you don't have far to go for corporate support.

Cons

Store managers need to work 50+ hours a week to keep up and even then it isn't appreciated, bonus objectives do not align with reality (as promised in offer letter), as the best store will get less than 50% of their bonus. (November bonus wasn't paid until the end of January (Merry Christmas!) Upper management keeps moving the goalposts on expectations. . Constant fraud and robbery from customers is the norm in this industry, so be ready. Disciplinary action is arbitrary and does not follow any pattern, and the employee handbook is intentionally vague to allow for it. Corporate Structured Training was nonexistent until this last month. Collins is hemorrhaging cash so rapidly that they better turn it around fast or they will be closing stores and laying people off.

Pros

My coworkers were the best part of the job — genuinely supportive, talented people who did their best despite the environment. Fast-paced sales experience helped me improve my communication and resilience.

Cons

Leadership was disorganized and often contradictory. The Director and VP regularly gave conflicting information on critical topics like sales strategy, pay, and company policy, creating confusion and distrust. The ads used to attract customers — paid for by the company and run through a publisher — were frequently misleading or outright deceptive, making it harder for reps to earn trust and close sales. Combined with unclear guidance and a lack of a defined path to success, this left many employees feeling unsupported and set up to fail. Managers are paid considerably less than representatives virtually destroying the incentive to advance.
