if i remember correctly, their office is right by the casino on canada way.

it looks like you're doing business to business sales marketing trying to get clients to join shaw. they'll do an interview with you and if they want you.. they'll ask you to spend a day with them to see how things work/go

i never went to the follow up. they wanted me to spend 10 hours with them non pay?
its sort of like a 2nd interview.. and afterwards i pretty much figured it was going to be like door to door marketing.. or at least thats what i thought.. only because they told me what to wear

dress shoes/dress shirt and bring a jacket

benefit package is good, the cable package they offer ain't bad, but they hired way too many ppl right now so if you are part time, dont' expect full work week

Hey guys,

I wanna apply at shaw and i see that they have 2 types of positions opening (CSR or TSR)

To the guys and girls that work there now, what are the aspects that you like and dislike about the position. Or do you guys think i should just apply for both and see what happens? Any kind of feedback would be great.

Thanks in advance!

i like the company itself.. but i hate the position i'm in (tsr). you'd be surprised on how many stupid people call in, lol

if you're just looking for a job.. just apply for both

a tsr can do pretty much everything a csr can do. their primary role is to fix any technical issues. as for a csr.. their role is more sales and billing related issues

the hardest part of getting the job is just the interview process. once you get hired, the job is pretty easy

shifts are usually rotated monthly they can range from anywhere starting at 7am and ending 11:30pm. the graveyard overnight shift is a different group of people that only works graveyard. as for calls monitored they'll randomly audit you or listen in on your call. but most the time they just call coach you in person rather than listen in on you. but they do pretend to be cx sometimes and call in.

Don't think so as the tsr floor is pretty flooded with new hires. I hope they're not hiring anymore b/c all P/t hours are getting cut back. if we hire more, then i'll lose even more hours.
