Go Wireless Employer Reviews

Not your average wireless retailer. GoWireless is a fast growing company that has been in business over 16 years. Also, GoWireless is the largest Preferred Retailer for Verizon nationwide.

I worked for Go Wireless for a little over 5 Months. A typical day would be getting to work and driving 20 minutes to take a bank deposit and then 20 minutes back with no gas money paid back. I was told when I asked that it was part of my job description to make sure that was done, and therefore I didn't have to be paid back. I never could get assitance – more...  from Upper Management when needed they picked favorites. There was a store a hour away from me that I would have to go to on occasion to help out. I was terminated right after the holiday season of 2010. They had me work past the new year of 2011 then terminated me. I had been helping the other store on several differnet days during the holiday's as well as making sure my own store hit our goal in December 2010. I was let go for paperwork not being sent in to home office. The week I got terminated I thought since the holidays had just passed I had until the end of the week in the first week of January to get paperwork for December completed. I got called one night and asked if the paperwork had been completed I informed my District Manager that I did have some left to sort through, but that I would have it completed by Friday. She informed me that is was supposed to be done the day before. Then she said she had to get off the phone with me and figure out how to explain this. When she called me later she informed me that I needed to be at my store at 10:00 AM the next morning. I went on in at 8:00 to start working on my paperwork. She came in the door with a manager from another store and would not speak to me. She just went and immeditaly started counting the money in the store. They called me in the office and terminated. When I asked for the reason as to my termination I was told she couldn't tell me. I have never in all my years in management been treated the way I was treated with this company. The goals for your store change each month, and it is very hard to make your commission. I was required to work 42-45 hours a week I usually always ended up working 55-65 hours however. If you need a job then deffinetly apply just be minduful. They do have a high turn over rate. – less

When I came to Go Wireless I started back as a rep and worked my way up the ladder. I was promoted to store manager at Westminster Crossing, a struggling band one store. I took my store up to band two level and was promoted to open a new store and have kept it at a high level band two. I have a very sold sales record of consistently hitting higher activations – more...  and broadband, along with the other metrics over most stores, even band levels above me. I always strive to exceed my goals and push my reps to as well. I take pride in my work and always put fourth my best efforts. I am always wanting and willing to improve beyond store level. – less

The benefits are good. $ is good if you are willing to work hard. No real room for growth. Male chauvinism. Senior management is lackluster. They are intimidated by strong sales people. HR is supposed to have anonymity but the HR personal does not know how to keep it anonymous. I called once and a week later my DM asked me why I called HR and not speak – more...  to him directly.
The money used to be good but they keep changing the structure to make it harder for sales reps to make $. It is very hard to move up. Esp if a woman – less

A competitive company when it came to pay. They needed better people running things

I like working at this company. I didn't really feel that I would be advancing though and the money was not what I was needing in my life currently.
