:happy0180: Here's to wishing you were getting laid instead of getting laid off. I'd totally hammer down some brewskies with you tonight if we weren't going to cars and coffee tomorrow morning.

I'm the store manager for Warrenton (you know, the guy who wins all the chamberlain awards!

Im currently leaving my position and am taking a job as a GM for a new company, thus the reason I will be able to make events soon.

And yes, AT&T has been a great place to work and the pay is solid. I've been in the company for almost 5 years now.

Lmao oh great. Now I have a guy that will check my dsr and hound me for sales goals. :P oh and don't you worry. I love those 7 am calls! But in all seriousness... If you haven't figured. I do work for the Corvallis store. AT&T is an awesome company to work for. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Congrats on the job at GM! If I end up wanting to buy a new car ill def be looking you up. (Which location?)

Haha I usually just grind opps. Can't say my whps and tablets are to popular here. My store rank isn't impressive sense I keep getting killed by WTR. They need to go back to net rep. Haha.

It depends also on the location of the store, i work for AT&T indirect dealer, and the pay is pretty good. hourly is minimum BUT as long as you hit your quota its all good. @Chen are you cor or indirect?

Chen · 03-23-2013, 05:51 AM

I'm in a cor store. But I think indirect is a lot the more lenient from what I hear. But I agree, location has to do a lot with it. It's nice cause the next closes AT&T store to my store is 45 minutes north or south. (I know some bigger city's Eugene/Salem have 2 corporate stores like 15 min away from each other plus they have dealers as well) And the closest dealer is bout 25 minutes away. If you don't mind me asking. What are your quotas like?

One of my co-workers used to work for smart wireless when they were able to sell Verizon, t-mo, and AT&T all in one kiosk. And he says it's a lot different than working in a cor store. But he likes it more.

Touge_ninja · 03-23-2013, 10:42 AM

Depends on the dealer lol I work for activate and they are pretty strict. Trying to go cor store. Anyway OP good luck with the job hunt.

I work in the org (IT ACSI) that develops and maintains tSpace. We are really pushing folks to do this and start really embracing it as a business networking tool as well as a collaborative platform for communities and interest groups outside of IT. The new features in tSpace 4.0 are pretty good and there's lots more in the pipeline. Definitely get your profile updated and check out what's new. You'd be surprised how far it has come in the last few years.

Good luck, OP.
