Its Legitimate but Process Takes a While
I haven't personall applied to West at Home but when I was researching work from home jobs, I came across a forum discussing the opportunity.
Sounds like you can apply online, then they send you an employment offer if they accept you and then you complete their online new-hire process, which includes your social security number and a I-9 verification form that has to be notorized and faxed.
They are hiring and getting a lot of applications. Has anyone gone through the process with them yet?
Gone through all forms, etc, West at Home
I've gone through all the forms and what not, I am supposed to start training this coming week, but whomever set up my account and sent me my welcome letter, neglected to actually put me into the system! I keep getting a rather annoying go around, the PALS told me to send an E-mail to one account, that account told me to send an E-mail to another account, which set me up an account with another system, which then told me to E-mail human resources, which I had done in the first place, this is rather upsetting to me. They have been prompt in getting me these e-mails I will give them that. I hope that once this issue is resolved it will be the end of all the trouble. I haven't read any negative reviews about this company, so I'm assuming that this is just a slight problem that will quickly be resolved! Also it took me about two months before I even got this far, but I believe that is because it's one of the few legit at home company's out there so, they have a high application rate.
Not bad if you like phone work
I worked for West about 3 years ago. The hiring process was a little timely but not unreasonable. The PALS that I spoke to lacked some major customer service skills. Ironic considering they are a customer service company. All in all I would work for them again if I really needed to. They definately give you opportunities for advancement in working with different clients and at different pay rates. This was 3 years ago so I am not sure what or if things have changed since then. I didn't care for the talking on the phone all day, but I know others enjoy it.
Good Luck With That
I too have been waiting for oblivion for them to send me my login for West At Home web site. I received an email saying I would receive it in 7 business days ... its been going on over a month now and still nothing. I have sent emails. I have gone through their web form. I have even called but they hang up on me. And still a month later nothing. Personally, I suggest don't hold your breath on it.
I used to do West at home years ago and their time tables was accurate; I was up and taking calls within less than a month from the first day applied. I didn't have to try to contact them about anything. But now they've just gotten "ghetto" and disorganized. The first time I worked for them they moved us all to employees from contractors so I sent in my paperwork ... they lost it. And then I got a reply back when I asked about the status of it that said in a nutshell I had to re-apply. Well, that was in January ... so good luck with trying to get into West.
WestatHome
I have been working with West for a month now and I love it! I must admit that it took a couple of months to get on..but once I received my Welcome email, I was training for my skill the next day. It took me about 20 hours to train for the Virgin Mobile Activations line and I signed up for hours immediately after I passed my test! My pay has always been deposited on time in my checking account and I am very satisfied with the PALS, my skill and most of all the flexibility that this new opportunity has given me.
contact info
I need to get the contact info for them. I got the welcome packet from them but the links are not working so I cant finish my paperwork. If someone could send me that info I would appreciate it. Thank you and have a great day.
waiting on another skill

Employment Process
I applied online for the work at home agent position with West on November 20,2008. I received an email last night stating the online hire paperwork has been processed and to expect a Welcome Email within 48-72 hours. I just hope the rest of the process goes smoothly.
