They are not honest with you during the interview process. Things like, "you can set your own schedule", and "anyone with a heartbeat can make $50k/yr". Typically you are interviewed and hired by a person that is monetarily incentivised to add team members. And that would be fine if there were some oversight. But often, the devil is in the details. And the fine print on the whole deal is significant. You create your own company and then become a 1099 contractor. Then you participate in a tiered requisite schedule of cellular products, but you as the owner carry the burden of customer recourse. As in, if they return it, it goes on to your account. And not at the sales price. But a the non-contract product price. Phones that you sell in a 2 year contract for $100 may be worth $500. It if is returned, you pay the $500 if you cant resell it in a relatively short period of time. And the tiers often include peripheral or new product requirements, like a minimum number of mobile hotspot sales just to get into the next tier. They often seem put there because they are either new or not performing in the marketplace. Typically, they are hard to sell, and or get returned on a frequent basis.
They also adopted a roster draft approach to scheduling. This rewarded top earners with dibs on stores, days, and hours of their choice. Seemed to be exciting at its inception. But as new employees, most of us suffered the "self-fulfilling prophecy" of bad stores on bad days creating a closed loop cycle of bottom of the draft selections. Sounds whiney, but you must understand that some of these stores may average as few as 2 customers in a store during a full shift, while others see 60+. So choose your hours at the bottom of the roster, and you will be forced to make chicken salad out of chicken caca just to avoid choosing from the bottom again.
