Pros

Full health insurance, plus dental and vision. Matching 401k up to 4%. Even part timers get full benefits from day one! 10$ an hour to deal with BS customers with problems and commission on everything you sell. Basic Commission Structure:10% on all accessories, roughly 40% on NEW contract plans. IE if the customer is on a 2 year contract that costs them 100$ a month you will be paid $40 on that commission check. For every NEW monthly prepaid service you sell you pocket about $12. In 2011 and prior 2000$ plus commission checks were normal for the top 20% salesmen. Now btw 1200-1500$ commission checks are obtainable if you try, 2000$ if your very good.

Cons

Moving up the ladder is not based off of results but off of who you know. Also the you could be the best salesman in the world and not get recognized depending on the store you work at. You may be number 1 in your store, but if your store is dead, the rest of the market and your superiors dont give you the credit you deserve.

Pros

Training and "green days" to work on training courses online, team activities for teambuilding, excellent benefits including up to a 10% yearly bonus (merit-based), tuition reimbursement, extra insurance options besides health insurance (pet insurance, free life insurance up to 1.5x yearly salary), stock purchase options and yearly stock award to each employee. One of my favorite benefits is job swaps - so long as your manager clears it, you can swap jobs with an employee from another related department for up to a couple months to gain insight and experience into what the other department does from day to day. I left my last company as it had become a bad environment, and after joining with T-Mobile I realized it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. There are very few days where I wake up not wanting to go to work, and I learn something new every day. When I come across a process I'm not familiar with, my teammates are more than happy to provide on-the-spot training, or schedule a time that works for both of us to do so. Above all, the managers set you up to succeed rather than to fail - they want you to do well, and do everything in their power to make sure you have the tools to do well.

Cons

There's some of the same political bs that any company has, but my team has two excellent managers that make work enjoyable. There are a couple personality issues within the team, as happens with any job, but overall everyone gets along. As far as training goes, there wasn't a whole ton initially (though I believe it's more due to the nature of the job - it's impossible to condense everything into a couple week training course).

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this -- we love hearing how much you love coming to work! Your words were spot on when you said your team wants you to "do well". That's exactly what we want for all of our team members! The nature of our business is constantly changing and we know how important it is to provide good benefits and equip you with the training and development you need to be successful. We're glad you're taking full advantage of all of it. As we continue to grow and evolve, so will our training and tools. If you ever feel like you're not getting enough of what you need, though, talk it over with your manager and they'll help you get back on track. Thanks again for your feedback and your dedication to T-Mobile. -- T-Mobile Careers Team
