Not sure I want to speak to reps located in the NY metro area tho!!!
Pajama Patrol Payroll bump!
Btttt
I wonder how I can get in on "homeshoring"?
Great part-time job for a young Mom with kids in school, retirees looking for extra income..
Hurray!
www.wahm.com has good information on this kind of thing. You need one of those $50 a month unlimited calling plans (sometimes), broadband internet (almost always), and a headset phone. It's all contract work, and often takes a while to get into due to the number of people applying. Some companies are better to work for than others, so always look for the opinions of former employees before signing on.
When you find out, ping me!
You actually SPOKE with a cusomer service rep? How on earth were you able to break through that gawd-awful supposed 'voice recognition' (more like Hotel California) computer that never works?
I work from home. Connected to my company by a VPN. My job is full time (about 35 hours a week), but not in the normal 9/5 type of way. Totally computer based, and I do the work in small increments throughout the day and evening (because that is the nature of the work itself.)
me too!
There was an old Married with Children episode where the bundys started a home based 900 porn line where the 500lb mother in law answered the phone and talked dirty.
A communications company unable to communicate.
The pajama people take the overload calls.....and it works quite well. Customer satisfaction way up.
JetBlue does this. Very cool. Saves on gas too. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/223367_homecall09.html
I had huge problems with Cingular. Somehow I got an 800 number which reached a human - and the people on the other end were incensed that I'd gotten the secret number that's only for business associates (there were some helpful people there though)! As for the website, there's little or no effective contact info on it. Tried filling out the email form on the site with the details of the problem - and when you hit send it gives an error message every single time. I'm now a happy Verizon Wireless customer.
That is exactly what the General Electric site for appliances does. Bought a new place last year that had a brand new, never been used GE wall oven that did not work. Me and wife went though a living hell trying to get ahold of a human being to get a repairman out. The GE website would NOT work. You filled out the complaint form and when you try to enter you're not allowed to. Overall it took us 5 weeks to get the oven repaired. {Bad touch screen board}.
Bought some lightbulbs two days ago. Sylvania.
We just got a new washer and drier two weeks ago. I hope that Whirlpool is better.
I've got a buddy at work how's thinking about becoming a house husband, this just might be something he shoud look into.
Thanks.
