I've been a tmobile rep for 4 years and i was offered a job with att as a full time sales rep. please give me some input as to what i can expect and what you guys think. i have no problems with tmobile but att being a bigger company i think it would be good. if you guys can tell me something about pay, or how your quotas work. Any suggestions will be appreciated.


thank you in advance.

i hear you would get more volume but less per sale

do you get a lot of problem customers with t-mobile or are they generally buy and never see again customers?

A little bit of both, can't really say one more then the other.

I do about 50 activations per month at my store. Its an average store. This past year I made about $40 gs with tmobile. I don't expect god knows what but the major thing is with att I will go full time and now with tmobile there's no full time positions open now. Also att being a bigger company I'd have more oppertunity.

I would stay with the smaller growing company rather then get mired in a large company.

40K a year "part time" is nothing to be running from. Plus I believe T Mobile is the first choice for younger people weaning themselves from Mom and dads Verizon. Its less expensive and gets good phones. I would stay with T Mobile.

But what do I know I retired at 45 and work part time in retail sales for an independent owner of a store. Gave me $2000 Christmas Bonus. Name any big company that will give that to a part time retail clerk.

WOW....That's a LARGE X-Mass Bonus..

I also work for an independent owner of many stores and all I got was a Tin of Cookies for X-Mass..

At&t indirect dealers are something to stay away from from what is going on...

At&t is such a huge and all powerfull company they themselves are very harsh on indirect dealers

STAY PUT!!!!!!

you aren't kidding when u say ATT is a big company

not only is that the truth but they are a cheap company aswell

Tmobile is finally comming to the carolinas so i wouldn't mind checking them out

we are bargained employees here in carolina but if your not bargained then be prepared to shell out for a horrible insurance plan

and also there is just way too much stuff going on for att right now for them to take focus and look out for the employees

I would recommend applying for VZW. VZW does pay more (I made $39k+benifits, such as $4k a year for college, working part time @ 30 hours a week). The job is a bit more demanding I would say, but the benifits, 401k, long term incentive bonuses, are all spectacular and you can easily move up in VZW within the retail channel.

I'm not starting a VZW vs. AT&T war here, just coming from an employment/labor benifits perspective.
