I have many years back.

All wireless companies are hell holes, but it's the best hell hole out of all of them.

What position?

Kind of funny that you ask that because I have a little bit of a problem.

See, last week I was offered a position at another Verizon Wireless store through a temp agency as a temporary full-time greeter. I am suppose to start tomorrow but tuesday I received a call from our local VZW store asking if I wanted to come in for a interview for a full-time Customer Sales Rep. So tomorrow, I am going to the interview for the Customer Sales Rep and immediately following that I am going to start my other Verizon job at the other store.

I rather take the Customer Sales Rep (even though I hate working in sales) just because it is actually with Verizon and not a temp agency where I may not be guaranteed a job after 3 months.

You need to be able to multitask and be able to deal with high level of stress. You need to have people skills and be able to deal with unhappy costumers at all times. Sometimes, job gets insanely busy and people have to wait for service like its a freaking doctors office... Be polite and apologize for the wait. You need to be able to work in teams and by your self. If manager is not happy with you, never talk back... even if your manager just hit puberty.

I never worked at Verizon Wireless but I did stay at Holiday Inn last night.

I hope you realize there could be problems if the Full-time position is offered to you by Verizon...

If you've gotten a job through a real "Temp Agency", and you've filled out their paperwork, then you are their employee working a "job" for Verizon . If you abruptly end your employment with the Temp Agency to work for Verizon, they have the right to demand your contract's wages from Verizon, and Verizon would have to find their own person for the job you were offered. It means Verizon will not have an employee for the temp-position, AND possibly owe the Temp Agency money, just to hire you full time. So add your full-time salary to that temp agency's contract, and that's what you are costing Verizon.

Now.. if this was a pure head-hunting agency, that's different... they get paid a fee for finding you. But if it is really a "Temp Agency" that's giving you a 3-month contract... you might have screwed the pooch here.

You should (if you haven't already) discuss this with the person you're interviewing with.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
