Just something I noticed, that in Quebec always lots of positions for retail open, here in the west next to none.

Is there more employee turnover or just more work? What gives???

If you haven't noticed I want to work for Bell here in the Lower Mainland...

Check again. The West is desperate for people.

I know it says Victoria, but it's pretty much the same posting for all BC.

I was thinking to relocate to BC sometimes this year, and I heard that BC BW store pays more than other region since Bell World is kinda new over there, is that true?

And how is the sales over there thou? is it good?

You'd make the same amount in Ontario or BC. The pay is good, period.

The only downside of working in a corporate Bell store in the West is that you won't get very much job security. Currently their strategy seems to be that they open stores as corporate, get them running and then sell them to an independent dealer. Somewhere in there you will either lose your job, be forced to apply to work for a dealer or be transfered to another new Bell location.

No truth at all. Corporate stores do not get sold to dealers. There's only one dealer in the west, and he owns 2 stores in BC. Every single other store in the west is Corporate, and will remain that way.

That is so not true.

Note to Xirc. Despite the fact that you get into a lot of heated debates with other users, I must say that you are very much in the know about cellular in Canada and I know that you're not in the business. How so? Coz it seems like you're more than just a mobile enthusiast, more like you're on the inside somewhere but I know you're not coz you told me so from before.

Ok. If you say so. I mean, what do I know? I only work in the corporate management team with daily interaction with stores and mangers in BC and Alberta.

I mean think about it. Bell is buying up as many dealer stores as they can in Ontario and Quebec right now; why would they sell them in BC and Alberta?

So why do I know a dealer with 4 stores if there is only supposed to be 1 dealer with 2 stores?
