Job Story: The worst job ever! Intelex - ntlx.com

Wow. Sounds like you had a bad experience with this company. Are you still working there?

If you were to do it all over again. What would you do differently?

No I am no longer there. From a few months after I arrived I knew I made a mistake.

I guess I was hoping some of the things I heard before I went to work there werent true or were fixed.

Things I would do differently, is I would search the web for previous or current employees and find out the real dirt rather than believing people in mgmnt who have absolutely no business in management.

Just found your post. I was talking to some ex employees who gave me enough information to definitely warn me from getting involved with these people.

Lots of issues w/ "management". Shared some experiences that made me say NOOOOOO Way do I want to work there.

I was able to locate seven people to talk to who all had very similar issues (management not trustworthy, dont value employees, you are a number, you are there to get one thing done and once it's done you are out of a job....)

Probably would have questioned it if I only talked to one person who had been there, but I found several.

Good Luck, but I would say run and run very fast. Job security is not at all an option there.

I have a phone interview tomorrow with Intelex. I was pretty excited about the possibility of working there but my enthusiam has waned considerably since reading these posts. I thought the phone interview thing was kind of weird; did anyone here who worked for Intelex get hired that way? I guess I will go through with the interview process but with many reservations.

I have been contacted by them for a possiable job. Is there really a management problem or more of not having open lines of communications from top to bottom and bottom to top?

You might read through the other forum on Intelex on here as yes there are plenty of issues with "lack of" communication as well as multiple double standards and such. The environment is an environment of complete management distrust as well as employee mistrust (and disgust) of management.

It is not like your normal employer where you dont agree with management but just do your job and go on. There is much more to it than that.

Does anyone have any information on how they treat the Sales team? I am speaking with them about a sales position. But I have a pretty good gig now. Just curious about how long the average sales rep stays there. Thanks for your help!!

Sales team Information

I was there for more than a couple of years and I will tell you. They are treated pretty civil at first but I have personally witnessed salesmen getting fired after only being employed for a few short months. And, for stupid reasons like disagreeing with the opinions of managment. I watched as one guy was escorted to his office and helped to load his stuff into his car for this reason. I wouldn't advise you to leave where your at for this company. If you ever take any advice from a stranger, take this little bit as true.

You were already warned to cease and desist with harrassing emails. Take
this and all other emails off your list. Maybe you should find something
better to do with your time as obviously your erroneous information isnt
working since the company has tripled in income and size since your
departure.

THE TRUTH HURTS AND IM TELLING IT
YOU ASKED, I CANT LIE ALTHOUGH ITS ONLY AN "OPINION".


That I worked for them for 6 months and was an expectant father first
off;
secondly they will make you work a non stop 19 hour day, many many days on
the road away from your area, no privacy absolut controll of your mental
capacity in reguards to how things should be done. They hire people in
areas
who are desperate, take advantage of them because they need a job; use
them
because if you live in a certain area or they have an order to fill. they
will then process you to death tell you have a "review" make you sighn
your
benefits pakage and then fire you without notice. I had a daughter and had
picked up a job a week before she was born. There Job criteria is also
volitile. Nobody makes LEAD TECNICIAN EVER Now I pull a cross connect and
make 75K a year


Imagine pulling and installing a CVS drugstore, pharmacy, supermarket
with
120 plus cable pulls, that must be labeled to a perfect to-the-letter 568B
NECode. in 4-5 days tested and terminated; then when you finish that and
worked 15 hours they make you run to a location at 12:00 midnight to start
another job on a friday..

Oh i observed they are a bunch of LOW TECH HACKS that talk BS about HOW
MUCH THEY KNOW about the industry and how legitimate they are. they are
NOT
NICE PEOPLE BUT MIDWESTERN DOWN -TALKING WHITE TRASH BRINGING SLAVE
DEALERS.
Look what trash they deal with. I have worked in NY and NJ for close to 20
years; They are hated in New York City and NJ and are NOT liked By local
1260 CWA, Local 164 IBEW, Local 3 IBEW, Local 287 IBEW so dont get your
hopes up high with thinking you may get along with the locals.

a.. Kroger Major bullshit ass kissing clients.
a.. CVS Pharmacy Major bullshit ass kissing clients.
a.. Walgreen's Major bullshit ass kissing clients.
a.. Rent-A-Center Major bullshit ass kissing clients.
a.. Zales Corporation Major bullshit ass kissing clients.
a.. Hewlett Packard/Albertson's White Trah
a.. TravelCenters of America Truck stop
a.. British Petroleum truck stop



I work with a former intelex personel and we have seiously NO GOOD
things
to say. THEY ARE Parasites.
They make Idle threats and have threatned my familys stability, when I
was
in there employ.


ASK ABOUT MY NAME and they will stutter.


Dont assume anything

If I had more time on my hands...I Did this though:

I Now WORK With The D O J in NEWARK NJ I had them filed
in MY department and with the INTERTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION

I have a serious problem with there so called paranoid and proficent
ethics and employee abuse.

THEY WILL DO WHAT IT TAKES TO KEEP YOU UNTIL THE PROJECT IS OVER, THEN YOU ARE GONE!!! I THINK THEY DO NOT HAVE A CLUE, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO DO CONTRACT WORK. IF THEY WOULD HIRE TEMPS AND NOT PRESENT A TEMP PROJECT AS A FULL TIME JOB WITH A FUTURE MAYBE THERE NAME WOULD NOT GET SO TRASHED!
