Sprint Nextel Corporation Reviews

What is it like working at Sprint Nextel Corporation?

Sales Consultant, Retail:
You have the opportunity to make a lot of money depending on the store you work at and the traffic it brings and the people you work with. The managers tend to discriminate or pick on people who haven't been at the store long so it's good to ask questions to the people who have been there the longest so you know what's right and what's wrong . A manager tried to only write me up for performance even though everyones performance wasn't good in all areas and mine was struggling in one. If your going to put my job on the line then everyone's is going too. I don't have time for petty bs so I contacted HR about the issue since it seemed to becoming from all levels of management. After that I have to say I haven't been harassed since. Although it's the holidays, another call will warrant if I see the same pattern of behavior again. Managers, you think you run the store but remember someone is always watching. Take care of your employees and stop acting like it's the end of the world if everyone doesn't do everything you want. Too bad that's life get used to it!
It's pretty nice. Good people and customers from all walks.

Bad outways the good.
Technical Consultant:
Pros: I love what I do. Fixing phones, inventory control, everything in my job description.
Cons: I also had to do everything NOT in my job description. All that management cared about was sales. If I had a sales opportunity with a customer, it was very common for the Tech department sales to get stolen by the sales reps, and when bought to managements attention, their response always was, "They are just doing their job!" In the 2 years I have worked here, I have be required to take a sales training at least once a week, just recently, they launched the FIRST technical training ive ever seen in 2 years. And if you ever stand up for yourself and go to HR, from the moment they find out you have contacted HR, you can guarantee they will find any excuse to wright you up. I have actually seen 2 people be set up and received wright ups ending up in termination because they went to HR for unfairness. Its also a "who you know" situation when it comes to promotions and hiring opportunities. So done with this company.
