Do you know how well they pay call center managers and some supervisors?
Re-read your post. You answered your own question. Read the second sentence first, then the first sentence, and it makes good sense.
Of course, then you’ll probably ask why Mercedes Benz North America is renting space and hiring people in Atlanta when it is headquartered in New Jersey.
Sometimes I am too facetious for my own good.
GOOD for Texas! TX sure seems to know how to get jobs!!!!
(Wish that the other 56 states could copy this to get out from under the Great Obama Recession!)
I used to have some friends in Mississippi who were public school teachers who moonlighted at a call center. They didn’t seem to be making much money (at either job).
My only call center experience was at a federal agency. 60 hour weeks (encouraged to work more) no benefits (they’d let you go when you were entitled to benefits based on tenure) and pressure to violate policy. Base pay was about half what it should have been.
Salesmanship flourished in America for cultural reasons as well. In a country that, from the outset, held democratic elections and had no established church or hereditary aristocracy, salesmanship provided political and religious groups with a way to compete against their rivals for followers. Moreover, with more fluid class boundaries than in European countries, the skills of salesmanship, especially beginning in the late nineteenth century, offered a pathway to personal success.
ps: almost the only jobs in many places are a few waitressing or store clerking gigs at $8 or $10 an hour, no benefits.
Today, I was eating a small snack in a diner and the owner came out and pulled down her ‘food server help wanted’ signs. I asked and she said she can’t afford to hire anybody due to the recession and the new Obamacare taxes. (I thought there was a minimum staff size before the new Ocare taxes had to be paid? Maybe, though, they have more people than it looks .. since customers don’t see the kitchen and since they are open two shifts.. anyway, she has to pay new higher federal taxes so she’s cancelled hiring.)
More Yankees..... Less Mooselums. ;)
Almost all pay in Mississippi is low, which is why I was a loan officer there instead of an hourly employee.
I don’t know what state or area you’re in, but we have jobs aplenty here.
Should I wear khakis?
yes i appreciate that, you’ve mentioned it also...
Texas knows what its doing!!!
Congratulations Texas!!!
(ps: is there perhaps a part of Texas which is not 90 or 100 degrees for 5 or 6 months each year? we’ve been trying to check but so far every town we look into...has a lot of hot hot hot...? thanks!)
I’ve gotten at least four flyers for insurance sales.
I’d rather sell hubcaps...They best find some real young folks eager to live in the confining cubicle world.
BTW, insurance companies are the sultans of sham...Just take a look at the policies they generate. yukyuk.
Ya have to take it to an attorney to fully establish what they say. The complex legal mumbo jumbo is not an accident.
It’s not that bad here in Denton and everything is air-conditioned. Some stores and malls have shaded parking, too.
Denton has been recommended to us several times as a very nice town, thanks very much!
(we did look into Denton... its interesting that its only 90 degrees or so for 4 months of the year, some Tx towns are 90 or 100 even for 5 or 6 months, so you must have some cooling source there beyond the Amana in your parlor?)
maybe...
it does look like a very nice town, nice people we’re told...
thank you very much!

Many of the DFW suburbs are very nice and even the most expensive will look like bargains to someone in the Northeast, Northwest or California.
