Retiree benefits connection

Is Anyone else unable to sign in to the retiree portal? I need to make elections regarding my pension etc. I am also about to move so I need to make sure Verizon has my correct address. I can’t sign in, I can’t get my user ID or Pw and the site... — 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 

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 

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 

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 

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 

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

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?

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
