Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"They practically employ anybody, so if your interviewing for this job you have a 99% chance of getting the job. Turnover is very high."

What don't you like about working at teleNetwork?

"Very low pay for the sector - difficult to get any raises - inappropriate pressure and threats to keep calls short so unable to effectively troubleshoot some people who are not that computer literate and require more call time."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Team leaders there have no management skill's instead they use threats of getting fired or probation if call times are not kept low. For such a low pay job they should be thankful they have someone working for those sweat-house wages instead of making threats. Pay needs to be kept to par with the industry sector that way they will retain and attract qualified and professional staff. At the moment no one is motivated to perform well as low pay and threats isn't in anyone's book a good motivator."
