If you're applying at Time Warner Cable beware they like to string you along for months. They say you made it to the very top of the cut and make it sound you're the one they will select only to fill the position with an internal hire.
If you want to work for them, great. But it does seem like you have to know someone to get in there.

I happened to send in a resume for TW on August 2nd. I received a call from them over 2 weeks ago. On the telephone, I was given something like a pre-interview, to which I apparently did well. From there, I was directed to a website to take an assessment. I completed the assessment and now have just been floating around waiting for some sort of response, albeit positive or negative. I was wondering if this is normal?
Last week, I emailed the lady that I had been going back and forth with to ask her what the status of my application was- as I have to register for classes soon and whether or not I'm a candidate depends on classes that I take. i received no response what-so-ever.
I'm at a point where I need a job desperately, having just moved to the area from NYC, so I'll take anything... also believe it or not, it's the highest salary I've been offered since living here. I was wondering if this is normal. I have registration for classes on Wednesday and I just can't get a straight answer. Am I to assume I didn't get the position, or do they just make you wait a ridiculous amount of time for this. Starting from the point I sent my resume in, it's been 5 weeks.
Also, I must add- I find it very unprofessional that she didn't even acknowledge my email to her.

Every business has it's own style. What is the office environment and culture like at Time Warner Cable?
Are people dressed in business casual, jeans and t-shirts, or full-on suits? Do folks get together for Friday happy hours and friendly get-togethers?
What is a typical day in the life of an employee at Time Warner Cable?

Questions to ask during a TWC interview:
How many management changes have there been in the last 5 years?
How often do you change your commission structures?
How much monthly turnover is there a month?
If I am not making my goals what extra training or one on one supervisor time will I get?
How often will my call center schedule change?
Am I given all the tools I need to perform to minimum expectations in this job?
Most of the answers to the above = NO. This is not coming from a crazy ex-employee, I loved my job at Time Warner. I was discriminated against, watched HR "make it's own rules for situations", play "favorites", re-organize, layoff, and dismiss people every day. It. was like someone playing a midless game - with your career and home life.
And if you are looking at management - watch out! Management changes like weekly loads of laundry! And fair hiring processess...not likely. Hopefully other divisions are better than North Carolina, but I would be cautious!

Do your self a favor.
After 6 weeks I got a call for an interview. I am mid career experienced.
They offered 11.02 an hour and would not budge. Who can live on 11.02 and hour? Training is 10 weeks long and two of those weeks you have to travel on your own expense for technical training.
The location I interview at was dirty. Plain out dirty. The employees were very nice but no professional dress. Even the supervisor I interviewed with seemed bored and was rude to be honest.
The call center was so dirty. The chair they offered me had food on it, chocolate and I left there displeased with what I saw and that I had to have my 300.00 suit coat dry cleaned after.
I did receive a letter saying thanks but no thanks but I really should have gotten that letter to them first.
They have supervisors the employees call the police? What kind of environment is that to work in? Not for me.
I interview well and have since gotten 8 job offers since my experience with Time Warner.
I received a letter from Time Warner today they are exploring new candidate's thanks but no thanks.
I should have gotten that letter to them first.
Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time unless you have to get a job no matter what.
There are too many good opportunities out there to explore. Time Warner would not be one of my suggestions

I applied for the customer service & sales rep position for time warner cable and took the assessment. I was later contacted for a phone interview and successfully passed. I was then scheduled for an interview this coming THURSDAY. I am trying to mentally prepare myself to pass the interview. The HR person who scheduled me for an interview with a manager.
She seemed to really be pushing hard with alot of different questions which I was still able to pass.
What type of questions should I expect during this interview? Please describe in detail so that I may successfully prepare myself.
Your help is SO GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!

I currently have Time Warner Cable and rather than pay Time Warner a small fortune to lease one of their HDTV/DVR cable boxes, I was wondering if it was possible to buy my own and have it work w/ my cable. This will be my second cable box in my home. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I submitted an application for TWC Tier III High Speed Specialist job, got an invitation for a Previsor assessment. There was a four part on the assessment, two of which where timed. I did run out of time on both the time sessions and did pretty good on the rest. At the end of the assessment, there was no indication of whether it was a pass or fail or anything. Now I am little anxious on whether to expect a call for an interview or the dreaded email that begins with "after reviewing you qualifications". If anyone else had been through TWC hiring process lately, please share your Previsor experience. Thanks.
