At my branch where I used to work we did not sit back and wait for business we went out on Friday mornings doing robot drops

Closing of a new contract deal. A typical day is when it's quiet and you only sold maybe 1 or 2 contracts for the day. We were mix race and it's amazing how we all worked together as a team. I have learned a lot from cellc sometimes when I go to cell c I explain the terms to the sales consultant because they do not explain to u always n a good salesmans does exactly what is required from him. I would say the hardest part is to look for business and its not always easy but u make it if u want it so u have to work hard to achieve your goal

Pros

No

Cons

Yes

Vast Inequality

There is very few opportunities for hard working employees to improve. There are also large gaps in income, to which in most cases, the same faces are given first preference to new and better roles, regardless of their abilities. In years, the culture has descended, perhaps we can attribute this to the status of the company and it's challenges. The management (if you can ever put aside that you are underpaid, and not valued) are cool individuals, who are perhaps forced to align to company policies which are meant to exploit employees.

Pros

A single marshmallow during Easter.

Cons

They do not show appreciation to employees who go above and beyond.

Making sales

Had to work from 08:00 till 17:00 which was a very long hour but I've learned alot in terms of being a sales consultant and my manager would buy us lunch sometimes and we perform well but the problem would come across if we don't make sales but in order for me to enjoy I knew I'd have to make sales

Pros

Selling

Cons

Competitive and good working enviroment

You have to be passionate about your work , every thing was about competition because you have to reach your target and sometimes is hard to get customers

Excellent work space

Well done. I enjoyed working as i had my own space to excercise my strength. When i felt the need to call a friend i was assisted promptly. Important team work.

Good tradition and spirit

The company is very goal driven no doubt however when it comes to managment of the consultants it is dine very poorly not to mention inappropriately. In regards to the salary ,one really needs to be driven to be able to make a good living it is definitely not a place whereby one can just expect to recieve a pay check enabling one to survive because that is definitely not the case.

Pros

Team spirit, tradition, group team building

Cons

Long hours, minimum pay, regular commision cuts, unfair treatment, work over load

Productive, contributive fun workplace.

Synergistic way of working in store with each consultant contributing towards everyone acheiving the same goals. Absolute pleasure meeting and building good relations with clients although pay is at the lowest, always increasing targets making it near impossible to reach. Constantly decreasing commission payouts. No benifits and forget about salary increase even if you are a top performing consultant. (Cell C Franchise

Pros

Incentives paid regulary from cell phone companies -Hauwei, Samsung etc

Cons

Duties are way to excessive for the amount paid and you have to clean store no cleaner employed.

Unfair work procedures

I had been working for cellc .For 9 years. The our work ethics and job procedures are unfair and is meant to favour those only in higher management . And rules for me to abide within my respected position . Only applied to a few . whilst favouring others

Productive and fun

Being a sales agent is fun until you have to work at places where safety is not high enough which is gonna lead to more stress concerns about your safety instead of stressing about increasing the weekly wage

Pros

Free transport

Cons

Long hours and bought our own food .

N/a

Not much career development if you're not based in the Main office in Johannesburg. The hours are okay but standby is required for network operations positions.
