Pros

- Decent pay for a job with no experience required

Cons

- They will threaten your job if you try to leave at your scheduled time but the store is still busy. - Their electronic systems for making sales are broken, glitchy, and slow. - They won't let you help a customer unless money is involved. - Higher-ups will blatantly lie to customers to encourage sales. - Higher-ups will prey on older folk and deceive them into spending money. - The company made it super difficult to return my work device but also charge ex-employees a fine for taking too long to return it. - They will manipulate you into doing overtime. They'll tell you that you aren't allowed to leave until the store is empty, so you end up staying 1-2 hours past your scheduled time. - It was super difficult to access tax documents like my W2. I signed up to have it electronically delivered and it never came.

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
