    I have an interview with Phonewatch tomorrow and I'm wondering if anyone knows what it's like to work for them?

    It's a commission based job with no basic but I've been told the average is 400 - 600 euro a week. People who are good at it can get up to 1000 if they really push for it.

    Any information at all would be great from hours, pay and just other general information!
    Thanks

    They make the job out to be very good, but having done door to door sales for nearly a year and knowing a lot of people in it, it's a tough gig regardless of what you sell. Selling alarms isn't easy, but if you're good at it and will stick with long hours then go for it!

    I personally find it insulting a company that can well afford to pay staff pay commission only.
