SOL (Strategic Outsourcing Limited), hhehehehehe. I saw hell with dat company btw 2009 - 2013. As a contract marketer my target was same as dat of a full staff. Wasn't entitled to the bank's pool car, my fellow SOL colleagues used to fly bikes or keke napep to go make calls, earnings 18K monthly plus 30 or 80, even 8k depending on d numbers of accounts u opened dat month. I became I corporate begger, begging ppl to open account, using my money at times for initial deposit for customers so dat I'll meet my weekly target. My female colleagues (some, not all) had bleep to get account. Remember days they'll pack us inside pool car n empty us in market to market d tomatoes, pepper,crayfish n meat sales, wasn't easy. Yet my neighbors bck home go dey hail me every morning n dey tax me @ d slightest opportunity. D expensive suites I bought faded cos was always under s sun marketing. Then @ d end of June 2013 I trew in d towel, stopped d job, stayed 3mths, then as a French graduate I decided to take a part time-teaching job in a private school earning 50k monthly, worked on Monday, wed n Friday. Then @ d end of Oct another school came calling wit d same 50. I changed my time table, d principal of d 1st school was one of my customers bk in banking days, so he understood n freed me half days on wed. By November was earning 100k teaching french. D mother of one of d students introduced me to a group of 7corpers who wanted to learn french, taxed them 10k each per quarter, do d math(I pay 3k monthly to d school I use as venue to tutor d 7copers on Monday, Tuesday n Thursdays from 4-6PM& more corpers batch C R interestd). Now I hv a catholic reverent father who is willing to pay 20k monthly to tutor him on Tuesday, Thursday n sat, at least 1 hour daily on d choosen days. When I remember I wasted 38mths doing corporate beggar for back e dey pain me, but God knows better. So op, jst dey mark ur time, when u see opportunity 4 a better job, move on. Now me am looking for a business minded person wey go help me promote my registered tutoring business, I dream to open a school, but I still dey eye foreign affairs n embassy job o. Merci beaucoup mon ami, Dieu est avec vous, bonne nuit.

I was a contract staff for 2 yrs in alpha beta consulting LLP and I will tell u it is a very bad situation to be in. We will do the same amount of work as other staff but we were not entitled to their bonuses. We were being repeatedly told by the HR that we will soon be made permanent. At the end of every 3months,the normal staff will receive x6 of their basic salary and we will get nothing,even when we did the same amount of work and sometimes even more. Finally a new management came in and sacked all of us with just one month pay.
The best thing to do when you are in this situation is to always be on the look out for better opportunities AND never feel too comfortable in that position because it is very temporary.

Do you have an idea of the entry level salary at AlphaBeta, the work environment etc?

Mine was in a bank, it wasn't a sweet experience, if you are on contract, kindly start searching for another job. Since, you have got experience, it won't be hard getting another job.
