Well Monday (6/10) I started my new job at Hospira. I'm in training now, but once we are done in about 5 weeks we will be out on our own at our desks out on the "floor" as they call it. Then I will be considered part of the customer care department but as a kelly services employee. The first two days have been BORING and so slow. We have hardly learned anything. And they didn't have our computers set up correctly until today finally.
Monday there was 3 of us in training supposedly there was another girl who would be training with us but she didn't end up showing up until today (Wednesday). So because our trainer didn't wan to have to retrain her we really didn't do much the first day, we listened in on phone calls while we waited for our computers to be set up but by 2:15 in the afternoon our computers still hadn't been set up so we were sent home.
Yesterday we did a few more things to finish setting up our computers and then we went to lunch, 5 minutes after we got back from lunch the power went out. We sat in the dark for about 30 minutes with nothing to do. Then we were asked to turn off our laptops and give our batteries to the ladies out on the floor so they could continue working and answering phone calls. Then we were sent home because they had no time frame of when the power would go back on.
Then today we asked to listen in on phones and I was talking with the girl who I was sitting with and she was so nice and helpful and filled me in on how everything works at Hospira, unfortunately seems like it might be months before I could get hired on from the company. I was under the assumption that the company evaluated your progress after 90 days and at that point either decided to hire you or to let you go, but apparently that's not how it is here. Not only was this disappointing but its a real eye opener going back to work after not working for 6 months. You have so much less time to yourself and after sitting in a training room for 3 days it really made me realize how badly I want to be my own boss and have the luxury and freedom to do what I want when I want. I would just rather not be on somebody else's schedule. It was then that the words "THINK PINK" flashed before my eyes. I know deep down in my heart that if I put forth 110% effort I can really blossom with my Mary Kay business. The thought of being a customer service rep and answering 20-50+ phone calls a day just bores me to tears. But I'm taking this journey day by day, maybe as I learn more I'll grow to like it, but right now I feel like a spec on the wall that could really care less if I'm seen or not.
