I think this depends on the division in which you work. I find that my upper managers are extremely supportive; however, I've heard that others in other divisions are not. I think regardless of company or division, it's important for one to seek out the support they needs.

This depends on the region of the country one lives/works in and the division one works for. Additionally, it will depend on clearance level, if any, and the contract that one works on. My recommendation is that a person research what is expected for that position in their region for the creden...

Customer Service Representatives generally have a few supervisors on the floor at all times, but the working environment is not very stressful and/or intimidating at all. Feedback/input is always appreciated from the supervisors and there is a satisfactory sense of autonomy in my opinion.

I would say my one tip would be to work and perfect your craft so well that you become irreplaceable. You do not want to feel a part of the rest of the crowd, you want to stand out and prove that they need you there and not the other way around. Do this and you will definitely see an improvement.

The most important skill, based on my internship, was the ability to work in excel. I spent most of my time working on spreadsheets, so the classes like EBTM 250 and 251 were actually a big help.

However, one thing to take into consideration is that nearly...
