Pros
No prior experience or education is required to get hired; the onboarding process is fast.
You get paired with peers who are generally nice and trying their best under the circumstances.
If you are already good at sales there is good compensation to find.
Cons
The role was advertised as entry-level and requiring no sales experience, but training focused heavily on generic sales concepts rather than teaching the actual product or sales process.
Mandatory office meetings several mornings per week were not compensated despite requiring attendance.
Commutes could be substantial. It was common to drive long distances from the office to assigned retail locations, sometimes involving toll roads and significantly extending the workday. I personally experienced 10 to 11 hour work days and 75 mile drives.
Success depended heavily on which experienced salesperson you were paired with during your shift and how much time they were willing or able to spend training you.
The culture placed a strong emphasis on sacrifice, long hours, and commitment, which may not be a good fit for everyone.
Performance was monitored closely through daily sales metrics and uploaded to the company discord throughout the work day.
Selling AT&T plans inside big-box retailers was more challenging than expected because many customers were not actively shopping for phone service and were often satisfied with their existing carriers.
