1800 Flowers Work At Home Opportunity (Select States)

[fam1st]

Ok I just got off the phone with my interviewer and she said that we did NOT need to have a 2nd line if we had a land line that the call waiting could be disabled on. I have my 2nd phone line installation on Monday and I'm going to keep it because I was able to add it basically free for 3 months with no installation charge. After 3 months if I think I can go without it then I probably will cancel it. Just wanted to see if anyone else got that information.

Anyway, I am just waiting on my paperwork email!!

I'm off to find a headset with MUTE on it! Funny thing was her kids were screaming in the background the whole time and she kept putting me on mute to make them stop so I dont feel so bad about scheduling when my kids are home!!!

Hey Shawna,
Since there was a lot of confusion on this issue, I e-mailed the lady (dont know if I am allowed to type her name) that sent us our new hire paperwork. This was her response to my e-mail...

--Before you can even start training you must have your second line. If not we will not be able to hire you. If you can get this ASAP that would be best.

This is why I decided to get the 2nd line.

Thanks! I am keeping mine anyway but I thought I would see if anyone else heard that directly from their interviewer. Makes me think they may not all have their act together!!

Anyway, now my computer wont open the file for the new hire paperwork. I emailed her back so we will see if she can resend it. It says it's an unknown file. Did anyone else have this happen?

Can we qualify tomorrow as an official DIS meet?

Congrats to all who have gotten their emails. I got my headset/phone yesterday so I'm ready to go. Thank you KT27 for the tip about adjusting the headset before hand. I called my husband on it yesterday and about blew his ears out. I'm sure all of the Disers in my pc setup tomorrow will also be grateful!!

Yes I will have to remember to do this as well!

Ok my paperwork file wont open. I dont understand because I have adobe reader 8.0. I keep emailing the interviewer and she keeps saying I MUST be doing something wrong because no one else has trouble opening it but does not offer any other help.

Has anyone had trouble opening this up yet? Are they standard forms that they send to everyone for instance could someone maybe try to email them to me to see if it really is my computer or if it's how she is sending them?

 

[2angelsinheaven]

Do you need the headset for the PC set up or just training and work?

 

[KT27]

Hey Taraprather, seems to be that you are correct about the $7/hour plus $3 for incentive and after training you can make up to $4/hour for incentives. Guess the girl that I got that info from was misinformed. Sorry about that!

Some states pay $6/hr..like Texas & Oklahoma, others pay $7/hr. Then during the first 90 days you get the $3 added to that.

It would be more comfortable if you did have it for the setup!

Thank you! My brother reformated it so my adobe reader could open it. He said it took adobe acrobat to open it but I think you have to buy that one and my computer does not have it.

I've got them now but thank you for the offer and all the help.

I'm off to find a headset now!

Target had some for $6.99 on clearance yesterday, nothing fancy but for the price not bad. I didn't get one yet because I had no been emailed to set up training, etc. Now I'm off to find one.

What headset did everyone get? I got a Platronics t10 phone with headset. It came today and there is a hum on it. I don't think I could survive 8 hours of hum.

 

[KT27]

i bought the one off walmart...then realized we needed a corded set...so I bought a system for 29.95 off ebay & it works great!

 

[fam1st]

I bought the plantronics S11, I love it! Here is the link http://www.plantronics.com/north_am...essionid=QVSUWF1KHJ1D4CQBGNUCFEYKAEZWSIV0Well worth the money for the quality you are getting! HTH! Oh, you can get it at Office Depot!

 

[Tooblessed]

I got a GN Netcom 4170. It is a corded keypad with headset. There is no regular phone receiver. It was 14.99 at office max and came with two options for the headset... either over the ear or over the head.

Here is a link to it on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-GN4170-...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1176319821&sr=8-1

Is the Plantronics S10 a phone too? I called Plantronics and they told me the phone is defective and get an exchange. So I called twacomm and the customer service rep heard the loud hum too. So they are sending me a new one. I hope it is better because if I need to return it, I'll be charged a restocking fee. Not to mention going crazy trying ot find a decent phone! Nothing like waiting until the last minute.

At least I got my second phone line in at 2pm today. My DH called the order in at 9am!

 

[ThreeMusketeers]

I did my PC set up today at noon. However, just talked to DH and I need to change my training date. I tried calling the Human Resourse Generalist and sent an email. But haven't heard back. I also have not gotton the emails from the woman that did the PC set up that was supposed to send out the emails. I am sure I am just paranoid. Did your eamil come the same day?

No, this one does not have a phone with it. Have you thought about getting this one instead? If you are having problems with it, they should refund your money and get something else. This is a lot more expensive, but the quality is amazing! WE had music on on the background and couldnt even hear it through the headset!
