They would rather hire people who have worked at agents locations before because they know the system and have basics of customer service

    Basically in phones:

    Know your product, you will do good; know OTHER companies product, you will do BETTER!

    I worked for a AT&T agent for about a year and a half...Loved the job but our locations sucked and within a 6 month period, we went from 12 stores to 4 and those 4 still sucked. So i went to sprint. LOL. It actually helps me with my customers because i can explain to them how other phone networks work

    Here is how i would rate the companys:

    1. AT&T/cingular- Why are they #1? Everyone and their mom has them and alot of your calls are free. Not only that, they have sim carded phones (IE you can get a good deal on a phone and not extend a contract). Good plans, rollover, Decent customer service

    2. Verizon- They are number 2 because they have excellent signal also BUT they dont have sim carded phones (extending a contract everytime you get a new one). Even if you buy the phone outright, you extend the SERVICE contract, NOT the upgrade eligibility conditions (2 different things). Plans are a little steep as well as their phones. #2 for signal though

    3. sprint- They are number 3 because they have good phones, EXCELLENT customer service (minus wait times; their cust. service is good cause people are always bitching about bills=alot of free shit for you) and decent plans. Signal is decent but there are a few places that i KNOW FOR A FACT verizon and cigular will not get signal where sprint will. I also know of places where cingular picks up where NOBODY else will also., Anyway.

    That leaves

    4. Tmobile- Shitty customer service, plans are decent i guess depending on how you use the phones, phones suck unless you buy unlocked ones, coverage sucks balls in alot of places but does very well in others

    Corporate=if you can sell, more money. A little better base pay (depending on experience), benefits, and better deals on phones

    Agents(From MY OWN experience)= One of two ways. Either good pay, good company, possibility of benefits or shitty pay, shitty company, no benefits

    GTIkid and Scrappy can probably give you their experiences also.

    GTIkid now works for corporate but i beleive (may be wrong) worked at an agent before also
    Nope. Never worked for an agent. I used to work at Sprint corporate too Like you said, really know the competitions stuff helps out too b/c you can talk shit about them haha. Personally, I like corporate better b/c I have a few friends that works for agents and some/most of them have said the pay isn't all too good. I do know an agent that a cousin of mine works at where he makes BANK. Like crazy bank. I had a friend that tried to apply at AT&T almost 2 years and they told her that they wanted at least a year of SALES experience before hiring her. They're looking for sales people with experience that they can just train to sell their product, not train to sell period.

    Our benefits are fucking awesome and the pay, well I can't really talk about the pay right now. I've been getting fucked over for the past year haha. My dumbass manager put me in as a full-timer instead of a part-timer. So i've been hitting my numbers and PASSING my numbers but since I was put in as a full-timer, it looks like i'm doing like shit. My checks are still pretty good, but they should be A LOT better since i'm a part-timer doing full-time numbers

    Also goodluck getting a job with those hours that your looking for. They'll look at that and say "ok thanks, next" Sorry....

    FUCK GRAN TURISMO EAST!! NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR THERE, ESPECIALLY NOT FOR AN ALIGNMENT!! TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!
