I am wondering how much (hourly plus commission) a retail sales rep makes for ATT? I am also wondering if they offer relocation packages? For example, if I take a job with them now, but want to move to another state in the future, what are the terms and stipulations for relocation (amount they will pay, how long you have to be employed before they will relocate you and how long do you have to be employed after relocation benefits are paid)???

My employer recently gave me an ultimatum. I can either transfer to another location or step down in position as a greeter. The new location is 30 miles from my home as opposed to 3 miles from the current location. I'm now forced to drive instead of taking public transportation which is less costly. My job title is Retail Wireless Sales representative.

It's not like these people are paid to satisfy your shopping experience. That's the company's job. And you would think they would be more concerned about the quality than who can help them find what their you looking for.
