verizon unlimited never been so....

Limited. The plan is a joke. 10gb limit on a hotspot how is that unlimited. Anyone that is a rep do you find it a joke to try to sell this? Thanks

How are the retail location doing?

Is there pressure in the store? Do reps still do those comparison charts between 2 year and dpp with a bundle and pull through included to deceive the customer? Whats the atmosphere like?

Considering leaving

So as most are, I am considering leaving Verizon and going to another carrier, but I am unsure if it's the right move. I will not be done with school (Verizon paid) and will not be vested in my 104K until February of next year. Even though Verizon... — read more

Indirect locations are useless

They have corporate run retail stores because the Indirect locations are useless. They cause nothing but headaches for customers and definitely play a big part of customers jumping ship (obviously the shadiness of corporate stores plays a big role in... — read more

The Verizon Death Spiral Has Begun

YTD Verizon shares have lost roughly 14% of their value. This is because Verizon cornered itself into a zero-sum game: 1) Revenues are declining 2) Operating cash flows decline 3) CapEx remains at current level and could realistically be higher 4)... — read more 

Verizon / Retail Exit

Verizon doesnt want out of retail, they have to close the stores. I feel like most people at Verizon are oblivious to the reality of just how far big red has fallen. Lousy results are one thing. But the fact that customers dont believe in the company... — read more

Verizon Customer reps and techs need a new strategy.

The truth is that "management" will do anything to preserve themselves no matter how ridiculous it is. Not saying this is an easy thing to do but somehow you guys need to be like alternative media and push back, especially those who deal with... — read more

Job Security

The union workers did this to themselves. too concerned with squeezing a few more gibsmedats (which most dont deserve) instead using these so called skills to make the organization stronger as a whole. how many of you refused to take your role to the... — read more 

There are way too many managers now

There are way too many managers now, most are completely useless and do nothing. Why in the World would they hire more and have them trained by no nothing managers that do not know the job themselves? It makes no sense. By the way, all the training... — read more

Severance package

If I was impacted by the most recent lay off on May 5, what date should I be expecting my package. It's taking a long time. I would call my previous GM, but he is pretty useless. Must had study in school how to provide excuses after excuses.

This place is a mess

The changes that Verizon is making just aren't fair and they don't make sense. My " A" Level location lost a SM but we are pretty much the only location at this level to have this happen. Nobody has any answers as to why or who decides the cuts. Not... — read more
