Does anyone know if when you quit, if you were actively using tuition assistance and quit before the class was over and didn’t complete the class, will they send you a bill or do you have to reach out to someone? I just don’t want the sh-t show to... — read more

Why is Verizon all of a sudden concerned about aggressive customers ?
A lot of chatter on calls and in stores about how to deal with aggressive and threatening customers. You know Verizon is covering up a lot of stories and instances that happened in stores over the last year. Instead of getting to the obvious root of... — read more

They do not protect their employees in any way?
I am referring to a thread in which a person complained that he was threatened by a customer. This happens very often, having to deal with extremely rude customers does not surprise me anymore at all. However, I am surprised by Verizon which never... — read more
Hindsight being 20/20
Who remembers this article when the VSP was announced? Oh, if only I could turn back time. https://www.inc.com/geoffrey-james/open-letter-to-44000-verizon-employees.html
Verizon Commercial with Kate Mckinnon - MAJOR CRINGE
It boggles my mind that a professional marketing team for a major corporation comes up with something as cringeworthy as these new Kate Mckinnon commercials. Her weird mannerisms and super awkward split at the end with the fake background laughing... — read more
Remember When...
Remember when leadership would make jokes and laugh about Magenta and Sprint at our V-Team rally? Everyone had their noise makers, hats, and cheered at how our network was so superior. We went all in on millimeter wavelength and laughed at the... — read more
Any changes in SMB or this job just sucks
any rumored changes in smb or are we all just sitting in this terrible job for nothing?
"Can you fix my Facebook?" "No? How about I physically as----t you then?"
When did we become the one-stop-shop tech support? My day is filled with a-hats that start out by telling my how "technologically illiterate they are, HAHA" It has never been this bad for the 3 years I have worked here. At least 70% of our traffic... — read more
New hire training is a shart show
Ok so basically everyone knows that half the customers coming in are looking for technical support. The new hires virtually get ZERO technical support training. So the seasoned tenured reps get interrupted all day long with tech questions from new... — read more
No Managers ???
Does anyone else’s store operate without managers? We literally go one to two days out the week where there are only key holders running the store because managers are always on vacation. I’m just wondering if this is the new normal? — read more
Hold management accountable
I think everyone on these forums are asking the wrong questions. It’s time for us to hold our leaders accountable. If you are being mistreated or being treated unfairly then it’s time to make them pay. It’s sad to read multiple posts on these... — read more
I guess someone didn’t like the laundry post…
I guess if they don’t want employees to talk bad about Verizon, they shouldn’t treats it’s employees like a number, in this case a number2..
How much has your job changed?
I’ve only started working here recently and I can't complain for now, but I had much higher expectations. Many people tell me that in the past their job looked much different and that everything was incomparably better. Unfortunately, many also... — read more
SMB IS A JOKE
360 is so bad that our reps tell company customers that our system no longer supports company accounts . My coworker had an smb client today wanting like 6 upgrades, plan migration, 4 new lines and trade ins. He was like “sorry our system no longer... — read more
The last 2 years and 4 months have been great since I left Verizon Wireless!
I don't miss leaving Verizon, but I do miss my co-workers. I worked with some great people who put up with a lot of cr-p. For 25 years, I was a loyal employee and put up with an increasing amount of cr-p as the years went on. Then I took the "buy... — read more
Is there a new trend now for people to leave here after only a month?
I was amused by someone's post about a newbie who had just arrived and started immediately complaining about the atmosphere here. I don’t know if that particular person quit afterwards, but I know one young person who quit after two months and... — read more
Is everyone here depressed?
Or is it just people in the store where I work? They try to cover it up, but you can totally feel that they are in a bad mood. Working conditions are very poor and the biggest cause and contributing factor for depression. I have never worked in a... — read more
Why aren't we closed today?
Normally I understand we don't close on the 4th but it a Sunday? It's the first day people can really go out and be with family.... Oh what was I thinking Verizon doing something nice.... That will never happen
Done and done
I should have never taken this job! Management does nothing but lie to your face and they think you are not intelligent enough to see through the entire BS. People don’t get promoted based on merit, but rather on their connections - its freaking... — read more
If your against a union what is your solution?
I do not work for a Union. I know that retail people seem very unhappy with their jobs right now. If you are against a union that what do you have going for you currently?
Those two weeks
I gave notice because there really is no point in working here anymore and losing my nerves, almost for nothing. I have a feeling that time is running slower. How will I endure it for a few more days here I do not know. After you gave notice did you... — read more
New hours are here
Good luck everyone on the longer stores hours and no or less staff then the previous month. What do you think the next, “we heard your voice” email will be about? Clearly they always act like it something revolutionary and they are bending over... — read more
What is your Verizon cell phone number ?
Customer : “gives a number “ Me : is that a Verizon phone number ? Customer : oh you want my cell phone number? Me 😐
Did anyone leave without giving notice?
It’s unprofessional, but I believe there are a lot of people who want to leave all of this without giving any notice. I even saw on one of the threads below that someone is advising a person to leave without giving a notice. I would never do that, in... — read more
Lack of leaders.
Verizon needs to completely rework how they view and train middle management. In the stores I’ve been involved in there is a complete misunderstanding by our highly overpaid store leaders as to how to lead and how to be a productive member of a team... — read more
Verizon in talks with national retailer ?
Recently I heard some info about Verizon being in talks with a national retail chain. Apparently they are looking into putting in store pick up type kiosks in the stores. It also has something to do with the take over of Tracphone. The kiosk/counter... — read more
Closed on a Tuesday.
Man crazy I went to my local Verizon and it was closed... On a Tuesday? Wtf
Lots of anti union shills.
Man Monday morning 8am hit and bo-m here come the corporate shills.
Forming a union out of spite
The new normal at Verizon is keeping the staff low and proving that things can be done with less head count. It comes with a price but in the long term it’s what Verizon wants. I was never for a union but now I want to get involved with one simply... — read more
You could be applying for jobs instead
If you are so unhappy, here is a novel idea. Instead of spending your time posting on this site, fill out an application and go work somewhere else. You can make more money elsewhere. Do it. They will hire you on the spot. Don't even give Verizon... — read more
How about everybody does what they want
I'm getting tired of people trying to convince others that what's best for them is also best for everybody else. Quit, don't quit, unionize, don't unionize...and it goes on and on. If you want to quit, then do it. If you don't want to unionize, then... — read more
Staffing
Our greatest need is more people. We are losing reps faster than we can hire. Can we please stop this part time nonsense.
Open on Mondays???
Can you believe it, my store is opening on Mondays. Who is running this business?
Ok go union so they close stores
If we all go union then they can start selling those stores off so we can get severance and unemployment.
Don't quit, unionize!
Not a union employee here. I've been in a few different unions, though. I'm ready. I'm done with this $h!t. I'm pretty sure a few others in my store are, too. I want to unionize because of the actions from the top. Not because of my immediate... — read more
Every Store Company Wide open on Sundays
