Every rep I have spoken to has lost $5,000 to $15,000 this year and not a single one will have a year over year increase. The pay is only one aspect of this debacle the other is store traffic because Verizon wants everyone to process transactions online or the buggy app then when things go wrong they come to the store complain. I could go on for days for example (Verizon Hum, Data transfer policy confusion, Go90 failure, Yahoo purchase, Unrealistic sales goals, Worklife balance, doing more for less pay and the list goes on). Have a nice day and go slang some Hums so you can feed your families for the holidays.

Adios Verizon!!! Pacing to make $1200 On December is not going to cut it. I can make more working at Chik Fil A in hourly wages lol. This ridiculous Quota is a Joke. Last year (December) i made 6k in commissions 5 k less year over year same actions same behaviors isnt going to cut it! Its been a fun Journey! Top 3% rep in the company out!! mic drop!!
All the good people are leaving
......fixed that for you
I’m waiting until Jan 1st to leave. I gotta use that flex spending account to pay off my braces. Thanks for the free $2500 Verizon. And they can’t try and recoup the money. Granted they are still ahead on all the commission I can’t make anymore but it will be nice to leave them holding the bag like they usually do to us.
"Is no rif... is agile worker reorgisation"
Credibility?? What about an eisp?
So you went from 90k to 50k as an entry level employee with Verizon Wireless ? Think about it... if you are making 50k doing an entry level job that is still extremely good compared to any entry level job out there .
"Real men working the poles"
Bro you NAILED IT . I went from making 90k to legit 50 as a solution “specialist”. They keep making goals more aggressive yet pay you less . Screw HUM
Unrealistic sales goals with less sales traffic, the stores have become the free tech center,service center, trouble shooting phone center( yes some reps are still trying to do that) this is what Verizon created and reinforced thru the years. Until Verizon tells the customers to use tech coach or if the phones within the 1 year warranty to call tech support to get these people out of the stores which are understaffed and taking the reps from sales nothing will change. Make the store a place too buy not free service center were the employees do not know a thing about "tech support " again you could write a book!
Isn't the Solutions Specialist job at Verizon Wireless an entry level position? The top 10% of these sales reps are making 80k to over 100k a year. Hell even if you are in the bottom 10% reps are averaging 40k plus a year. So if you are making 5-15k less a year on the top end of this the job its still well worth the pay based on what you have to do.
@fbf please tell us more about how real men work poles
When is the next eisp?
Go to the wireless board. We are real men with calloused hands working the poles in this board.
Clock in “do the bare minimum” and clock out. I hope you people dont have a wife and kids with this gig.
Well said! I am leaving the company next month. More work=less pay. Retail transformation=game changer=goodbye retail stores.
