Close Sundays to give employees time with family. Store hours 10 to 7 Mon - Sat across the board. 1 shift. Leaving when there is still some light outside will boost morale not to mention getting a day to spend with family. If they want employees to... — read more

Restructuring
More restructuring coming to work force planning group?
Long term suffering
How long have you been thinking about leaving here? It’s amazing to me that there are people here who have been doing work they hate for years. Why hesitate to get out of here? It’s not that hard to find a job now unless you have no marketable... — read more
State vaccine mandates
Are Verizon employees really expected to ask to see a vaccination card in states that require (new york, California, New Jersey) Can an employee from those locations speak on this? How is that going? Escalations?
Retail store manager
Can anybody tell me what is the base salary for retail sales manager at Verizon? I got an offer but I believe I'm being lowballed. I've been trying to find it online but most sites have averages. Getting the info from somebody who knows would be... — read more
New commission structure coming soon!
Currently being worked on by upper leadership. Apparently too many stores are manipulating RIS to max payout and not selling anything. Verizon losing money. Took them long enough, let's hope the new commission structure looks good enough for us to... — read more
I'm starting to hate my job.
I used to love working here. Now, I'm starting to hate it. Leadership is out of touch. Constant system issues. Increased goals without increased compensation. I literally carry my store...I do it with integrity, too. I only sell a hum if it makes... — read more
Younger people don’t like VZW at all
I think that’s true, the millennials and younger people don’t like VZW at all. What is not clear to me is why this company is not doing anything to attract these people, that is, to persuade them to use VZW as well. This company is stuck in the past... — read more
Vaccine mandate coming ?
Rumor Verizon will be mandating the vaccine for all employees following the fda recommendation
Q3 Pulse Survey
3 questions? What a joke. No room for an actual opinion... They don't want to hear from us and how miserable working for Verizon has become over the past few years. NONE of our systems work, they spout how important mental health is but if you even... — read more
Pulse Survey
Stop letting your managers manipulate you saying it affects them. Give them the scores they deserve for screwing everyone.
Store appointments
Store appointments are WORTHLESS! 95% of the time they are tech support issues, these are the appointments that glog up “sales” that walk .
The plan is to exit retail completely?
Someone made an interesting remark, that it is impossible that the leaders are so incompetent but instead it is more likely that their plan is to get out of the retail completely. That is a much more logical explanation. I have a growing feeling that... — read more
Q3 Pulse survey
Be HONEST. Don't let your manager manipulate the results by listening to them beg for a good score. Be HONEST.
Detract this leadership
If I get a detractor don't be mad at me. Be mad at VZ. Leadership made the decision to dock our pay for surveys and not only that, we need about 5 good surveys to make up for it. So when team morale goes to down because everyone is mad at everyone... — read more
Covid Leave
Hi V-Teamers…what is the current time off policy for work from home employees who test positive for Covid? Is Covid leave still a thing if not feeling well and have a positive test result?
We represent excuses and disappointment
Our retail operation is an embarrassment. Not enough staff so let's extend hours! Perfect!! Now we have less people to help customers for a longer period of time. What sense would it make for Wal*mart to be open 24/7 and have 1 cashier all day every... — read more
RIS score
In my store. I received two surveys that were coded as Account Authentication. Account Authentication doesn’t help or hurt us. They were both 10’s so I didn’t think anything of it until I read the verbatim. One was an add a line and the other an... — read more
East Texas shady
Let’s just say they have found another shortcut and they are using it with leadership knowledge and pressure. It’s would be obvious if I said more sorry for the vagueness.
Make performance goals diagnostic until the systems are fixed!
Most of us want to do our job and do it well. However, the constant system issues are interfering with our ability to do so. For those of us in the wfh cs roles the systems are continuously lagging, taking forever to load accounts, rerouting calls to... — read more
Phone Conversion %
I normally don’t post here, just review the nonsense but can I just vent for one second about how bogus PA conversation rate is? I have people come into the store to ask questions about Verizon Landline returns, landline payments, Facebook password... — read more
we need to organize a strike
My local team is doing a strike on 8/31. Verizon is leaders are leading by intimidation. HR GETTING READY BABY.
Remember??? POWER IN NUMBERS
Does everyone remember a few years ago when we had like 10-30 Verizon Fios people protesting in front of nearly all of our wireless corporate stores? They got what they wanted. After team commission, we’re not even being paid a “living wage”... — read more
SMB
Nobody bothers "bopping" customers anymore for fear they may actually own a business. Who wants to process an order through B360? Nobody. And what is my incentive to put it in the business name? Nothing.
Are you able to get matching pay in other companies?
For Anyone trying to leave VZw right now is the best time most companies will hire you in the spot and some will even match your pay. Anyways would never go back to that he-l place know as Verizon wireless retail store I predict it will just get... — read more
Verizon seems to be following the "cut costs however you can" directive?
The cost cutting is insane. Absolutely! It is insane because they have no sense of how the cut will affect the business, or how much it will destroy it. I have a feeling Verizon is cutting costs in a panic, not even thinking about doing more harm... — read more
Happy SM Overtime Lawsuit month!
Just got my check for entering the annual SM overtime lawsuit, so everyone else should have come or will be arriving soon! This one got me over $900 of unpaid OT from 2020! That almost makes up for the bad commission checks and terrible work... — read more

When was the last time you had a work-life balance here?
I did, but a long time ago, when I first came here. Work-life balance no longer exists. Everything has turned into work to such an extent that I can't even get enough rest. Verizon takes this very lightly. I guess they think it's okay and that when... — read more
F THESE SYSTEMS!!
See Title of post for explanation. What a sad embarrassment this has become.
This job has failed me
I'm now to the point that I cant keep up. I'm working full time and having to sleep outside the store on the sidewalk. My car is. Broken and cant afford to fix it and my Bill's are piling up. EAP and employee relief wont even help. Welcome to... — read more
Wait times and outsourcing is ruining our jobs.
Call center rep here. My manager literally said our wait times are so high because “no one wants to work for the vendor call centers”. Daily we are getting completely battered with wait times over an hour and the customers are getting angrier with... — read more
For the people that left Verizon.
Where did you apply that you love the culture and the pay is comparable or better? Looking for something fulfilling and Verizon is just depressing.
Why why WHY!???
Why do yal stress out over this job so much? I hate seeing my vz homies miserable. I get it, we took massive pay cuts, deal with Karen’s and Chad’s on a daily basis, and have a point of sale system from the 70s but bruh, this job is EASY. We... — read more
Too much stress for almost nothing
Are there any days that aren’t stressful for you here? I no longer think that a higher pay could compensate for the stress and pressure I am exposed to on a daily basis. This is the worst job I've ever had and I'm leaving here as soon as possible. I... — read more
Pressure from leadership
Im being constantly pressured to perform despite great performance already. It’s becoming tiring to have my requests fall on deaf ears and then to be told I’m not good enough - because our numbers show otherwise even with a skeleton crew. Only one... — read more
Required Vaccines
When the required vaccine mandate comes through, how many people in your store do you think will quit because of it?
Shortest stay of all time
Is it possible that people can't stay here even for a month anymore? I was glad when a new employee came to our store, but I was also happy for him when he left after a month. I believe there are many more such cases. No one with marketable skills... — read more
