    They aren't recruiting for PT at the moment. There are currently 60-ish PT staff working in Sky

    Does anyone know can you get the free sky installed in your parents home if your not living there? I already have a tv package and my parents would benefit more from it than me.

    but your tv package would be free if you used it for yourself

    They start at 8am AFAIK. The shift alternate so one week you're on early, then two on swing, then a week of lates. That's not strictly accurate but gives you some idea.

    8 or 8:30 from what I can gather. The opening hours change from time to time and IIRC they were doing 7am - 11pm but I don't think that'll start again.

    Hello,

    I got an email from sky regarding the sales advisor role saying they have advisor oppurtunities they would like to talk to me about and asked to ring them, they then gave the number and the hours I would be available to ring them.

    Does anyone have any experience of this or could give me any advice? I'd appreciate it very much.

    Regards.

    I got the same thing but when I tried to call the number given I couldn't get through. It's been months since I actually applied so I'm not sure what the story is.

    Well for the list of worst jobs in sky that im aware of i would prob vote them, athough im probaly very wrong as im sure dealing with rude and ignoriant customers over the phone is worse, Than trying to sell to customer's :)

    Btw i never said un-important, Most likely these are the most important.

    I have 2 friends working here and they can't wait to get out.

    Staff morale must be lousy

    I worked for Sky for 3 months earlier this year and I have to say it is possibly the WORST place I have ever worked!! Staff morale very very low and management do not care. I still have friends there who say it gets worse everyday. Before the sky lovers have a go, I was top performer in my retentions team and left on good terms so I am not bitter!!

    I would like to add that the actual role itself at SKY is not terrible, its just the miserable wages and where they are located. If they increase the commission, stopped playing games with incentives and provide consistency then it would be a very good place to work!

    You work in retention u get commission for saving people from leaving not upgrading them(you left out the big night out btw for the save team with the most bb sales €1200 night out ..if you worked in sales upgrades and attraction you would get money for selling bb, your choice not to transfer ...€300-€500 lads hit that every month in sales. when I'm chatting to the lads in save there saying the same actually giving out cause of the tax they pay

    Last week I had 128 incentive in a 5 day week.... Today 20 what's wrong with that
