Hello People, I am a long time lurker on the boards but recently started working in the wireless biz...

dont pick at&t their commission structure is horrible i worked for at&t for 10 months as a sales representative and their commission structure is horrible. i now work for an alltel agent and their commission structure pays 4 times more with half as many sales as at&t's.

I dont like is when you have a very annoying manager who nags all day and is mean and bitchy.

Plus theres a lot of opportunity for growt...
