overall great company
Retail Sales Consultant (Current Employee), Austin, TX – June 18, 2013
A great company to work for, but you have beginning family or social family. Company demands a lot from there employee. If you would not be able to balance work and life, not the company for you.

loved working with customers
Sales Rep (Former Employee), Dallas, TX – June 18, 2013
Cons: straight retail commission
I worked for a authorized retailer for Verizon in Dallas area. A typical day was working a scheduled 6 hour shift. I would work on EROES website and CSOKI websites to help customers define needs of their Verizon accounts. I would sell additional items as well and was very organized individual when doing so.

This position was straight commission and – more... the people I worked with would always willing to help each other out when needed. I relocated to Albuquerque area in March 2013 so I had to leave this great company. – less

Retail Sales
Inside Sales Representative (Former Employee), Lafayette, LA – June 18, 2013
This job had excellent pay and benefits. I prefer and consider myself much better at customer service and "fixing problems" than at selling in a competitive environment with others with an unrealistic quota.

energetic, ever-changing innovative company.
Sales Consultant (Current Employee), NEW YORK, NEW YORK – June 18, 2013
A typical day at work in a retail sales environment is very competitive but rewarding if you put in effort. During my tenure at Verizon Wireless I've learned the value and importance of working together toward a common goal.It makes ones work-life more enjoyable and fulfilling. Also I learned that a positive/memorable customer experience is what sets – more... us apart from our competition when it all said and done.

The hardest part of my job is having a non-cohesive management team and my most enjoyable part are my colleagues and interacting with different personalities when I help customers. – less

Productive and fun workplace
Sales Representative (Former Employee), Brooklyn, NY – June 17, 2013
Pros: benefits, paid time off
Cons: monthly sales quota might be difficult for some who are timid
Had the opportunity to work with a great team, and learned a lot about being a sales consultant. Trainers at this company were PHENOMENAL and until this day I bring the information they taught me to various companies. The most enjoyable part of the job was that the location was working at was ALWAYS busy and booming with customers. The most enjoyable – more... part of the job was being able to learn so much from my co-workers, and networking with various people of difference occupations. – less

A day in the Life of Telesales
Telesales Representative (Current Employee), Folsom, CA – June 17, 2013
Pros: benefits are amazing
Cons: stressful if you are not hitting numbers
This is a very fast paced, catch on quick job. You are scored on everything. They say 40 hours a week, but if you are low on the scorecard, you need to do overtime so you don't get writtem up which leads to being promoted to a customer. There is no work/life balance which is why this is great for someone single and has nothing else to do in their other – more... 16 hours of the day. There is no job security.... you can lose your job over anything and everything so you must be a positive person even when you are having a super bad day.If you like calliong centers, then you will love this job. – less

The department that I work in is HORRIBLE
Consultant-Operations (Former Employee), Alpharetta, GA – June 16, 2013
Pros: the benefits, somewhat
Cons: the pay, opportunities for advancement, performance measurements.
Maybe the corporate office in NJ is better than the operations and logistics department that I work in which is the WORST. Very little opportunity for growth and advancement with this company. The pay does not measure up with the enormous profits that this company makes. The performance measurement's that you are rated on are unrealistic and unfair – more... and are only in place to protect the companies bottom line by keeping YOU on the bottom! – less

Can be fun however, no real income earning potential
Wireless Consultant (Current Employee), Carlsbad, CA – June 13, 2013
Pros: the customers, my co-workers
Cons: the pay in every way
The days are pretty steady and laid back. I've worked at two(2) locations and I found it easy to work with everyone. I did encounter a hardship however, due to management not being honest and it nearly cost me my job. my co-workers now are amazing and it has been a very long time since I've been able to connect and work with the kind of people that – more... I'm currently working with right now. I'd say that the hardest part of the job is trying to make a descent living. At $8/hour plus commission and the stakes are raised every month it makes it rather hard for a man with 2 kids to maintain any kind of positive lifestyle. I found myself always scrambling to stay afloat and when the goals change by $900 in a 4 month period and your percentages are all ready lower than all the other cellular phone companies its becomes a little disheartening. The most enjoyable part of the job in my opinion is the contact I get to have with all the different kinds of people. Being around other people is my driving force and so to have that as a part of my life is very important. – less

Competitive quotas, good relationships with team members
Retail Sales Representative (Former Employee), Buffalo, NY – June 13, 2013
Pros: compensation, co-workers
Cons: retail hours, aggressive selling
It's really up to you whether or not you succeed at this job. The quotas are competitive, but if you educate yourself on the products, you do well selling them. Also, you work closely with other reps and tend to build strong, fun work relationships. The retail hours get difficult at times, especially during the holidays.
