This company sounds like the biggest load. For those of you who are not aware this is a call center for ATT in the states. The people who work there are not allowed to tell where they work, they are only allowed to say "we are north of seattle". If anyone has horror stories from there please share them here!!!!!! - Tue, 25 Nov 2003 4:34am

My nephew used to work for the AT&T Call Center, but he didn't like it and quit. I used to work at Western Inbound Network, to this day I always refer to it as the dishwasing of office work. Yes, I hate grunt work. - Tue, 25 Nov 2003 3:54pm

Ah, I know a lot of people who work/have worked there.
Apparently it requires a lot of tolerance for dumb people, hahah. Most who I know didn't like it at all. - Tue, 25 Nov 2003 4:08pm

West is soo goddamn slack and easy.

They pay you to gap out and tell yankees how to open their fucking voicemail...

And you're not stuck in a cubical all day, its row style, theres plenty of people to bullshit with all around you.*unless you get stuck by the wall, dave, haha*
Go there stoned and the hours fly by.

Shit, in my group, 2 rows of us were stoned as fuck the other day and noone ever bats an eye... thats all I need to know, that and its a 5min. walk from home, or should I say, lunch break tokes.

*Bet your bro knows what that shits about eh brock?* - Wed, 26 Nov 2003 5:26pm

i work for west corp. it's hilarious... i'm moving up to the "resolution specialst" position where i will receive calls from idiot reps who can't find solutions to customers' problems, or screaming customers who just want to bitch about how stupid they are because they couldn't just read the terms&conditions or damn directions themselves before telling us we've made a mistake with their dumbass roaming charges. there's good pay, full benefits and continuous entertainment. people get so worked up there because they take it all seriously..... if you learn to laugh at the dumbasses that call in it makes the job a whole lot easier. - Fri, 28 Nov 2003 9:20pm
