Was at work doing my usual, waving my arms in the air and talking testicles and one of the customers I was talking to while putting her Sky HD deal through said she worked for Orange in town and felt that it might be worth me going in and talking to her boss about getting a job there.
I was somewhat shocked becasue we weren't even really talking about work, upon furhter questioning I was told that once you've done all your training your on £7 an hour !! I was like hmm thats much better than the misserable £5.85 an hour I get in Curry's for working my testicles off for very little financial reward on 30 hours a week and being treated like a free slave.
So I am now contemplating doing the above, I actually quite fancy working in a phone shop, it's a product I really enjoy learning about and fiddling with and I also really want to get out of Curry's and away from my current useless boss.
Not only that, there's commission on top of everything sold and the working hours are more agreeable (mon - fri and some sats I'd imagine) being 9 - 5 unlike where I currently am not knowing what my shifts are going to be one day to the next.
I realise that yes there is always going to be targets to meet in any sales job (5 years in Curry's has not been kind to me) now I'm either being very blind but I'd say selling a phone contract is a bit easier than trying to get people to part with money on an overly priced telly.
In my book it's certainly worth a look, even the work mate who was stood next to me said I shood look into it for that kinda money.
Anyway just curious to know if anyone here knows what Orange are like to work for ? She did paint a good picture of what it's like from her perspective but I'd like to hear a few others before doing anything. Don't want to go out of the frying pan and into the fire.
