Wireless Consultant (Former Employee), Mississippi – April 29, 2013
Pros: none!
Cons: if i listed them all you would get tired just reading them!
When I was first hired I used to love working here that changed quickly! They constantly keep changing policy without notice. We used to make great commission and they changed that where you can barely make anything! They show no respect to their employees! They put their stores in at will states so they can hire and fire when every they please! They – more... close the stores left and right without notice! The company does not care about customers all they want is to get what they can out of them they charge the customer extra to set up their phones.... I mean the list goes on if you need more reviews go to glassdoor.com you will see! Do not work for this company! BEWARE!! THEY MERGED WITH A COMPANY THAT WAS ALREADY FAILING! – less
Assistant Store Manager (Former Employee), Central PA – April 17, 2013
Pros: pay schedule was decent
Cons: horrible management, random fees caused many headaches, gap bundle is a joke and rips off the customer
I worked for Go for 6 months. In that time I was the top sales rep for 5 of those months consecutively. The company sounds good on paper, until you actually get your paycheck and realize how much is missing. I got promoted to Assistant Store Manager a month and a half after I was hired. I did not know that for only a 50 cent pay increase hourly, that – more... it meant I literally had to do 90% of the manager's work at the store because he was lazy and pawned everything off on me. Not to mention, the level of negativity is ridiculous. As much money as I made the company, I was barraged daily by emails saying how horrible of a job I was doing, even though like I said previously, I was #1 in sales! Nothing is ever good enough for this company. The Sales Director is the absolute worst person I have ever worked for. He told me during one of his visits "I don't hire people to be nice to the customers, I hire people who will close sales and make us all money". He literally called me and told me "he didn't like me and is looking for an excuse to fire me". In the few stores nearest me, each one is under staffed because people are quitting left and right. I don't understand how the company stays in business. – less
Fun dealing with new situations everyday and keeping customers happy
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Fresno, CA – April 3, 2013
Pros: benefits, coworkers were friendly, like dealing with people
Cons: never got paid or unpaid lunch breaks
Upper management could use some improvements, but co-workers were very easy to get along with. Every day is different, had to learn to make unhappy customers satisfied. I had lots of responsibilities and learned quick how to adapt in an environment with lots of changes. Hardest part was finding solutions to keep people happy, but the best feeling was – more... an angry customer coming in, filling their needs and seeing them leave happy. I had many people who would deal with nobody but me because of my people skills. – less
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Lynchburg – March 26, 2013
I have a lot of mix feeling about this company, while I love this job, I can say that ( now that I have been in management myself) there was a lot of thing that were incorrectly. When my manager talked to me and had my weekly performance review, there was a lot of showing what I did wrong...but there was no real direction on how to make me better, fortunately – more... I had a good feel for the position and asked a lot of questions to get a better result. – less
The company has very low moral. Do not refer anyone to this company. Very unprofessional.
Wireless Consultant (Current Employee), Bakersfield, CA – March 9, 2013
Cons: expensive health care, and to much work for to little pay.
Everyday at work you don't have any idea if your going to have a job by the end of the day for any kind of unfair reason. Instead of telling employee what good we've done for the company they tell us what good we haven't done for the company. Always holding write ups over your head. To much work for way to little pay. I never complain about a work place – more... but this company is beyond unprofessional. The only good thing is I get two days off away from the company. – less
Store Manager (Former Employee), Manassas Va. – November 2, 2012
Cons: too many to list.
I worked for this company for almost two years , i was always the top sales rep and was reconized for this by being promoted to store manager and had never been written up.I made one mistake they claimed by allowing one of my employee's to sell a device to a family member of mine knowing I personally could not at full price no discounts and was fired – more... for this and have proof that there were plenty of people doing just that. I had no district or general manager above me at the time and as the store manager made the call which cost me my job. The pay started off well and rapidly dropped to sub par at best. My recomendation dont even concider this company it should be put out of its misery and shut down. If you really want to work for verizon go corporate. – less
My husband was the top in his district. At one point they sent him to a neighboring store that was on the verge of closing. He went in and within a month increased gp from $300/day average to over $1500/day average (a 500% increase)!! He subsequently made a complaint of harassment at the hand of his new female ASM (something other male employees experienced too). Not a week later, as a result of not having medication for a disability recorded in his file (a condition similar to bi-polar) he said ONE profane word....and he was fired. We went and spent over $600 to get him new meds because he did not have insurance and he was FIRED! No warning, no effort to try to work with him on the situation, they just fired him!

Wireless Consultant (Former Employee), Naples, FL – September 28, 2012
Gowireless was a great job but the manganment was very unorganized and it seemed as if they never was communicating with each other which left all the associates confused at all times.
Wireless Consultant - Report (Former Employee), Maricopa, AZ – September 15, 2012
Pros: comission

Fun place to work Managment is understanding and always there to help Co-workers are nice and fun to be around Hardest part of job is long hours with customers Best part of job is the potenial money you can make
Sales Consultant (Former Employee), Northeast – August 29, 2012
Pros: descent money at first until you realize how much they take away
Cons: terrible district manager, joke commission scale, cheap and uncomfortable
This company is an absolute joke for a number one retailer in that it sells Verizon's products. The stores never are equipped with the products needed and fails to take employees needs into concern. I have worked with this company and they will hire individuals with no experience to save money. They change commission scales monthly to decrease profits – more... made by the reps. When you receive your monthly commission check they will take out promised sales spiffs. I've lost over 500 a month just because they want to take away spiffs and other employees I know have lost over 1000.00 dollars just from this. This company is disgustingly cheap and will do whatever it takes to save a penny. They have no care for their employees and treat them as pawns. If you are applying for this place really give it some thought and think about possibly going somewhere else. Most people I worked with were looking for new jobs and were miserable. People were in and out at a monthly pace if your looking for a place to work 2-4 months this is for you. If you want to make it a career or just have a steadily job for a few years I would encourage you to look elsewhere. I feel so much better I don't have to deal with that childlike cheap company and by the looks they are going bankrupt by all of there stores closing. ;) – less
Store Manager (Former Employee), Mcminnville and Newberg – August 13, 2012
Pros: free stuff
Cons: communication between supervisor and associate.
Great company to work for for a short term.Typical day was okay. Co-workers were easy to get along with. It is competitive. Hardest part is not getting a sale. Enjoyable part was meeting new people everyday.
Wireless Consultant (Former Employee), horsham pa – July 3, 2012
Pros: ok money
Cons: upper management
The job it self is a good place to work as long as you hustle you would be able to make good money. But the upper management be power tripping. when i work their no matter how much you try to work and push hard it would never be enough.
