Thread regarding Verizon Wireless layoffs

Telesales - Anyone from a store been hired yet?

I had my interview a couple weeks ago, so far everyone in my zone who got an interview hasn't heard back. On a previous post, someone here said thousands applied... but I talked to one of my managers here in one of our California stores who is moving to telesales and he said the number of people who applied is about equal to the number of positions available.. he said he's estimating around 1100-1300 spots available.

Anyone have word when the start date will be for those in retail stores who applied to Tele? Anyone have any info at all??

Working in a California store I know I have a higher base pay than those in other states, so I'm hoping that stays the same too.

So the ones who were hired for telesales. Were there stores closed or are they still open. Trying to differentiate between those that needed a new position vs. those that have the option to go back to the store

First off over 3k applied for telesales and interviews are still going on for about 900 slots. Many will recieve offers this week and they will not be reducing your current salary if you are an SS. Although you will have more opportunity in telesales there are plenty of negatives in making the change. Secondly who cares what color someone is that is offered the job. Telesales is no luxury job and most that will get the offer are ones that retail wants to get rid of. The interviews are just a smoke screen to a master plan. Retail stores want as many reps to go as possible.

It all depends if the telesales sup jobs were filled. When you interviewed you most likely interviewed with a recruiter and or a telesales sup, that won’t be your actual supervisor. Once they tele sales supervisor spot is filled he or she will pick reps based off the notes in your interview guide.

So people getting offered are either openings in an already established area, or it’s a new area and the telesales sup is building his or her team.

In south central they are still filling supervisor spots.
