I am a relatively new employee of the company and I saw this site and I want to voice some things. It's business, plain and simple, when did it become wrong to work staff hard because the managers want to make money!? Yes, I will admit, it gets a little extreme and the management is pretty harsh, but they are running a business, and it's the management's fault (by default) that people leave the company, but they are still making money and hiring new staff and some have been there in a while, because it pays the bills and they don't mind the work. Or else they would not be in business today, and as far as the "scam" idea goes, well, they either have been able to pull one crazy blanket over our eyes for 8 years, or they have to be doing something right. With the magazines, when we buy them off the shelf, yes, some don't but some do and spend double the cost of them over the same time frame, I know personally, I would spend at least $2000 on magazines in 5 years, some people like them, some people don't it's all up to the customer, and yes, we will say everything to you for you to purchase, but that's our job, it's like the annoying car salesman, it's apart of life and you will never get away, we live in a consumer hungry filled world with marketing and advertising people who do their job's well and work very hard for it, it's hard to get people motivated to sell items to people, but it's done everywhere, this method is just a little more direct and can be an inconvenience to some, it's like the billboard, some people see a half-naked woman and are offended, but then some see it and want to be apart of them. The long lasting co-workers I work with are people who are working because they have to and it's a place where they can succeed and make a decent dollar for entry level position and it's a job and pays the bills (and we all have 'em and pay 'em), alot of them have a past (seriously who doesn't), but if they are long-term there, they have to be doing something right which keeps them there. For the "unsightly/smelly" people, they need to work too, it's not right to call down other people about that sort of thing, Telesolutions is very anal about, respecting each other's differences, if you are sportin' a 'tude, you are going to get one back (just like... absolutely everywhere, wow, what a shock). Like every job, working at Telesolutions may not be right for you. I don't know why do all the complaining because I don't hear sweatshop workers in China complaining about the REAL unfit working conditions (30+Celcius, 10cents per garmet), working in a tight room is not easy, but as most things, "10% is what happens to you, the other 90% is how you react" so if you are unhappy think about how you can better react to the situation, rather than expect it to change for you (ie...tough managers, smelly fellow tsr's, rude customers, and tight working spaces). Take a step back...and see it from that point.
