Re: Question for Big Poppa
The starting wage is just .94 cents less than what you started at Verizon. I
think raises should be given every 6 mths rather than once per year, but one
can transfer to other dept. after 6 mths now - and the benefits are really good
- health insurance is excellent and at very good price, as well as tuition
reimbursement.
As I said bonuses can raise the rate of pay considerably and do for the call
center employees where I worked, if the CSR does the job as they should.

My reply was confusing - this is the amount that is .94 more than starting pay
for Sprint CSR II.

Re: Question for Big Poppa
Nope and there NEVER will be.. there is NO WAY to accurate difine
coverage of ANY broadcasted signal since coverage can change at a monets
notice due to anything that can possibly interefer with it..
I had a customer here with Verizon.. Map showed general coverage all
over his area.. he could not get a signal anywhere on his property.. was
no fault of our towers or anything.. it was the area he was in. He live
in an undeveloped Treed area. and his lot was sounded by the trees.. he
could get any service till he got to the end of the drive way were the
treeline stopped..
So even though cover extened fine in his area it was blocked by trees..
Something a computer generated map woul not be able to calculate
accuratly..
So covergae mapps will and always will be a general discription of were
service should be available

Mabey for the tech support jobs and such, but not for basic customer
care.. Thats why VZW's customer service is always ranked so high in
surveys.. they require either an associates degree, or previous call
center experience.

Re: Question for Big Poppa
Lets says This $1.00 is an extra 2 thousand dollars a yr.. think of
that. an extra $80 a paycheck.. .94 may not seem like much, untill you
look at it like that.

Again, not anymore -I am not talking about Tech Jobs - I am talking about CSR -
a result of the current job market.

Re: Question for Big Poppa
"I am a welcome call rep. some weeks I take
inbound, which is VERY slow, usually like 30 minutes inbetween calls.. "
LOL.
Ok some points read between the lines.
1) "Big Poppa" isn't even in the kind of CS people talk about here but
he does work for Sprint I believe. i.e. He doesn't have any 1st hand
experience either as a rep or a customer in the sense posters here do,
but he is a biased Sprint employee.
2) apparently while CS is taking calls back to back all day for
complaints, plan cheanges, cancelations and such, apparently their
"welcome" department for new customers is going "30 minutes" between
calls sometimes. Big P might want to think about switching departent or
switching companies as it doesn't sound like he's got great job
security.

LOL.
This is the classic "it's impossible!" argument usually made with a lot
of hand waving based on something someone told them which just hapenes
to fit nicely into lessening thier responsibility or that of their
company.
There are degrees of precision to which this CAN be done. Often times
the maps supplied by carriers do not meet that level of precision and
are instead marketing created grosly over estimating coverage.
I mean really, get a clue.

Re: Question for Big Poppa
incorrect
1. I worked 2-3 yrs as Customer Service for Sprint PCS in thier Business
Services Call Center in Nashville, TN. I currently work at Verizon
Wirless, and am trained in everything a Verizon Customer Service Rep is
trained in. However, We primarily make OUTBOUND calls to customers to
welcome them and assure there accounts are setup correctly, and fix any
problems we run into.. there are always a few people on inbound to
answer the calls back we recieve when we leave a message during an
outbound call.. Being Inbound is switched around among our group, one
week a few people will be assigned to it, next week other people will
be.. get it?
2. I am not always in inbound, mabey 1 week a month.. rest is outbound
calls which is almost back to back.. I KNOW the back to back experience
from working for Sprint prior to VZW.. The job secuirty here is great..
There are A LOT of customers to call, and as long as VZW conitinues to
recive new customers I will be here. So my job secuirty is great.
Next time make sure you know what the f*ck you are talking about befor
you open your d@mn mouth.

Re: Question for Big Poppa
Let me also add, that all a coverage map is is a representation of the
maximum coverage radius of the cell phone towers.. they do not take into
account any obtructions or weather conditions, or call volume that will
either lower that radius or block singal completely. If you can do that,
then by all means DO SO, go to each of these carriers with your
knowledge and help us all out then..

No one is asking for a perfectly accurate map, moron, just more honesty.
