I think they have less money left than your casino cash. What a horrid operation they run.

Bastards laid my dad off after 29 1/2 yrs of service in which he took 8 days of sick leave. He was 5 months away for being fully vested and eligible for retirement. Private sector sucks for security anymore.

All phone companies have poor customer service. That's the price of being in an industry that is in a constant price war.
And another thing about that is, I never deal with my phone company's customer service people. I'm a pretty big boy, I can pay the bill on their website and search knowledge bases for answers to questions and everything else. I also heard someone say once when I worked there that he thought upwards of 90% of reception problems were due to the handset and not the coverage. Personally I never had coverage issues in KC when I was with them. |

In the B2B sector, it's a much different story. Good customer service wins alot of deals, because the services themselves are a commodity. Sprint used to be one of the Big 3. But the customer service is SO bad that their corporate customer base is leaving in droves. I barely even see them in competitive situations anymore, and my market is 2.5 hours from their corporate HQ. |

I am a Sprint customer and love it. I have yet to have problems and I can't beat the $15 a month I pay on my future mother-in-laws plan (she is a worker there). All of that said I have no problems with their customer service... not any more with Cingular/AT&T anyway. Customer service is always crap and that is how it always is.
I have heard a rumor though that T-Mobile is looking to buy Sprint though. Not sure the truth of that being it is coming from my fiancee (a T-Mobile employee). For what it is worth, my fiance still uses Sprint has her service because she can getter a better plan there than with the employee plan at T-Mobile. |

I didn't really ask him about it, he did get something but it wasn't nearly as much as he should have gotten. I believe that is why they let him go when they did. The hardest part was how hard he took it. He told me the one day that it was like "loosing a family member" because he had dedicated so much time and effort into his job. We moved from PA to OP, KS for his job and then they kicked him to the curb. It was REALLY hard on him. |
