misterlee   10 #277 Posted February 14, 2007 From a personnal point of view people are entitled to their own opinions and mine is if you don't give something you don't get a return.  again this is not my computer Their desks are of very high standards and have top quality computers on them   Don't get me wrong - I appreciate the chat.  It makes a change for someone to be honest and say they work there instead of registering another account from the Ant recruitment department and posting as though they are a new starter etc  :hihi:  Tell us what you consider to be top quality desks then...

misterlee   10 #278 Posted February 14, 2007 Minimum wage + commission. have a look at the ant marketing thread to see the problems people have had with not getting paid correctly - my housemate was underpaid by £80 one month, and Ant said that they would only pay her £20 of the amount as they had no record of her earning the commission.  Another one with issues getting paid properly ?

btbwild   10 #279 Posted February 14, 2007 Misterlee questions!! Have you ever worked for ANT? If so is your opinion from someone who did not give it a good go? What have got against ant? Top employer top bonus top prospects what more do anyone need? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
misterlee   10 #280 Posted February 14, 2007 I have nothing against Ant whatsoever, and am currently looking for work in sales, but find some of the statements made by Ant staff (and those made by the recruitment team pretending to be someone else) bizarre and maybe even (in my opinion) deliberately misleading.  For instance every time it's asked whether or not the desks are made from fire doors - the subject is changed.  Every time is asked whether or not there are wires tangled round callers feet meaning that they pull the plugs out of the floor based plug sockets - the subject is changed  etc etc  No offence but do you really think you would have been promoted as quickly if various members of Ant's training team, callers, managers and account managers hadn't have walked out and gone to Voice ?

misterlee   10 #283 Posted February 14, 2007 Personally I thought it seemed like a battery farm. The pay's sh*te and the managers treat you like dirt on their shoe - not recommended   I think the best thing to do is to ask others who have worked at Ant to post their thoughts on the place and their experiences ?  The people I know who worked there have assured me they will contribute this week with their experiences of working there.

misterlee   10 #286 Posted February 14, 2007 Can you describe the working environment at Ant for us please ?  Tell us about the desks and what they are constructed from - is it true they are made from fire doors ?  Or what about the complaint that people have told me that their feet have been tangled up in wires ?  Or what about the comments from the people I know who've worked there (and given it a proper go) who say that if they get put in the middle of the desk (squashed in one one side with 4 others) that there is a table leg in the middle so they have to sit with their legs open all day ?

SheffieldForum   914 #288 Posted February 14, 2007 I think it's plain to see there is an agenda from both sides here.  Probably best to say goodnight and give it up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
