What do you do all day other than this? Do you work for the company directly, a 3rd party dealer or something totally different. What exactly do you do?

I work as a customer service rep for a music company. I am also the electronic communications specialist, meaning that I handle all communications regarding customers orders placed online, via email. Also, I handle all processing of online orders. It doesnt sound important, but I am the only one who knows how to do it. I had to actually train someone how to do it for a week when I took my vacation.

We have over 10,000 active customers weekly, but only require 3 customer service reps. Convergys takes all of our orders.

I loved when i did TDMA, Axys is AWEsome.Before all the plans and promitons became expired on TDMA, you can have a customer call in and change the plan and backdate to the begin of the billing cycle, and depending on whether you like the customer or not, it would work out in your benefit 😈 😈 😈

I work for Securitas which is the largest private security company in the world. We offer many different types of services such as K9, cahs handling, armed services, government services and so on, in the US and worldwide.

We're contracted by small corporations and large ones alike. We're even contracted by several phone carriers like Nextel and even Cingular. Other contracts more notable contracts are Lockheed Martin and General Motors.

On top of which, we're also contracted to do high profile events such as the Oscars, Emmys, Word Series, World Cup, and so on.

I myself work on a contract for Office Depot, in Carol Stream, IL.

There's been stuff here and there, I wouldnt necessarily call it all exciting though.

A few years back we had a huge trash fire. I constantly catch employees stealing. (it's not a retail location but a warehouse). It amazes me how people risk losing their jobs by stealing things they could afford.

Employees fighting in the cafeteria is fairly typical, sometimes it's not so bad but other times it gets very aggressive. On one occasion I got cut with a box cutter down my arm and needed stitches and another time I got stabbed with a box cutter trying to stop the fights.

Now, having these 2 experiences I've decided to toss out my companys policy when it comes to dealing with hostile situations such as that. Even though I wasnt the ta...
