Hi people,

I have had enough of current management at work. I worked ridiculous shifts before exams, so I could get a month off. Now they won't let me have the weekened off so I can study for my monday exam.

I have decided that I am going to start looking for new work.

Does anyone here work in optus, vodafone, 3 or telstra shops. I just want to know:
what are the hours required like?
is is commission based?
is it a good enjoyable job?

If I think of anything else I will also ask.

Thankyou all in advance.
Bill

Hey Bill,

I work in a Telstra Shop,
The hours depend on if you are full time or part time, and, like in my case, a trainee who has a set amount of hours i must work a week.

It is not a commission based job, but the salaries that are offered are quite reasonable. Part time jobs are paid by an hourly wage.

I love my job, others who have/do work for us hate it, it depends on the worker i suppose.

Hope this has helped,

Mk II

Thanks MKII, just looking for a new job which my effort will be appreciated. Moron bosses at Coles think they are top ****, even when they are running the store into the ground.

Also would prefer a job which doesn't consist of much physical labour, and can work mainly between 11am and 6pm on the weekened.

Bill,

There is pretty much no physical labour at all, as you would expect, selling phones isn't hard.

Your weekend hours aren't bad either, most shops are open saturday 9-5, so your workin hours are 8.30 till 5.30.

Sunday working hours are 9.30 till 4.30, not to bad really when you think about it.
