Pros

I can't think of a single pro this job offers

Cons

Commission system is rigged, you won't start earning commission until you have worked there for three months, but the turnover rate at this place is so high that no one can last that long Sales quotas are unreasonable, especially if you are in a slower store like mine. Only possible way to meet them is by lying to customers and selling them phones/plans that are too expensive and/or they don't need. You are there by yourself during your shifts, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but because of this you are required to keep track of everything you do throughout the day (such as the required PA announcements). If you forget to log something the managers will hound you. The company culture at this place is abysmal. You have to deal with a lot of irate customers. This is true of any retail job but it's worse here because activating customers new phones through the WARP system is terrible. A lot of times things won't work for some weird reason, and the customer gets more and more angry as you try to fix a problem you have never encountered before. This is partly due to the fact that you get very little training when you start. Your first two days in store are spent with a manager, but they don't really help you learn the systems or anything. After that you are thrown into the store by yourself and expected to know everything. Since you are there by yourself it can be hard to get an answer to a question. Often times you will have to call your manager and hope they are available. This place will not outright fire you, instead they will cut your hours slowly until eventually it reaches zero. The entire time you will feel like it is your fault for not hitting your quotas, even though their quotas are unreasonable.

Pros

I have an amazing supervisor

Cons

Jobs assigned to you are 100% your responsibility. Only part-time without benefits but I get assigned about 40 hrs a week. You get assigned an overwhelming amount of tasks that most often cannot be completed in time and you get penalized then. No raises ever. Constant driving, sometimes up to over a hour away, which you do not get reimbursed for the commute to your 1st store unless its over 60 miles away. Get reimbursed for only 1/3 per gallon if gas, which is much, much lower than the IRS issued rate. You don't automatically get paid for the time of driving between stores unless you explicity specify it in your time sheet; something they don't tell you either. I have an amazing supervisor, but my area is understaffed and the turnover rate is high. I cover 2 zones within my area. I frequently work 10-12 hr days, Monday to Saturday, for only $14 per hr. Workers who worked for Premium before the merge between Crossmark to Premium get paid much more, but the Reps who came from Crossmark did not get a raise to meet that level.
