Does anyone know of anyone who had taken the VSP (voluntary layoff offered in 2018-2019) being hired by Verizon again?
Messaging team.
I'm sure Verizon Wireless leadership looks at this page, so hopefully my rant gets their attention. In the Messaging Customer Service/Tier 2 Tech department, we were told the new messaging platform would help us be more productive and efficient in... — read more
So we are going to be door dash of phones?
I heard of plans from a visit that they are going to train reps to deliver phones to customers, like same day delivery reps? From the store locally in the works?

Zero chance of lay-offs
Verizon wants to keep everyone. No, stores aren’t closing.
Christmas Bonus
Confirmed Nov and Dec quota relief being given as Christmas "Bonus" Funny how they take our commission by inflating quota crazy high just to give it back to us as a "Bonus". (Smoke and mirrors)
More closings, reduction in retail hours.
Coming soon nationwide! Virus is ramping up... Winter is coming.....
STI and giving notice
Does anyone know if it is true that if you work through the end of the year, but have given your 2 weeks and are not employed by VZ in March do you still get your bonus?
Verizon be like “hey we LOVE our employees but we’re going to make quota so high, NOBODY gets a commission check”
Out of the WHOLE zone , not one store hit quota. $200 Commission checks for everybody for Xmas. Thanks!
Telesales / Customer Care Supervisors?
Why? What’s the point? They’re not helpful, they know very little, and they’re not held accountable? My supervisor is in our Slack group for maybe 1-2 hours a day, and refers us always to LiveEngage? I guess management is a joke company-wide, I... — read more
Do you feel safe working in a store? Is Verizon doing enough?
This is just to get an idea of how employees are feeling around the nation about working in store. Do you feel safe? Do you think touchless is keeping you safe? Many stores reporting that management cares about the touchless numbers but not the... — read more
Selfish DM/GM
Anyone else’s DM/GM avoiding Covid closures because they are scared that they will be losing stores with the realignment 2021? Guilt trip when filling out RTO is unreal.
Sent home for RTO then written up?
So, Got a little sick. Then filled out the rto after telling my boss the day before. So they sent me home and told me that the covid team was out till Monday and that I would be counted absent till then. So we count it against you that we... — read more

SMs do nothing but apply for different positions in the company, don’t do nothing and chill!!
Simply Put Agreed Or Not?? And that too without giving a damn what’s going on and what not?? And also just pretending to be there??
Store security guard cut - now reps are the guards
My store is in an area where crime is common. We have had a security guard for some time now. Today no more guard (a week after the Best Buy nextdoor was robbed at gunpoint) they remove the guard. So what is the guidance we get. We need a rep at the... — read more
Telesales November quota seemed unrealistic in a positive way , confirm?
Word on the street is that November telesales quota was 100 total phones (upgrades included) and 8k sales dollars. If this is true what a nice layup the company gave all those reps. I imagine it must be pretty easy to sell 10-15 phones a day in... — read more
Would calling out sick on Christmas be looked down on
Im care working from home and have to work on christmas this year. i still have sick time i figure i should just use it on that day.
Work from home
Question for reps that are WFH and don't have ethernet capabilities and are using a router provided by Verizon. For those of you that still have a router, is Verizon allowing you to keep the router or what other options were given to you?
Phone quota?
Wow my store phone quota is 650 phones We have been super slow, is this the same case in other stores ? Last month we barely manage to do 120 phones . What’s going on ?
December Quota....Really?
Not one store in our district came close to hitting Nov quota. Then they raise dec by 40%!?!?!?!. Not one person is motivated by this unrealistic quota during covid, when devices are now shipping in Jan. What's the point of trying when there is no... — read more
I normally don’t complain but
Holy c-ap has anyone seen December quotas...wowwweeee. Up 75% MOM.
Headcount
They expect every retail store to run on 5 reps.... Looks like we won't be hiring for awhile
Remember when....
Does anyone remember when Verizon was automatically adding the cloud feature to most peoples accounts if they did any type of upgrade or add a line? (2 or 3 years ago) I remember I had to make sure I removed it each time, so the customer didn’t get... — read more
OMG!! My store has a line around the block of eager shoppers waiting to buy HUMs!
Just kidding. My store is dead as always.
My store just closed for the day (Black Friday)
Just got a call from my DM that my store and 1 other in my district will be closed and not to come in because they don't have enough staff to open the store. Too many people "sick". I have not been happy with Verizon as of late but I would never try... — read more
Customer complaints
So now every day I’m getting complaints that when a customer calls care they are talking with people in the Philippines. Did Verizon get rid of most of our customer care?
Commissions....
This is terrible. They gave about a 20% bump in hourly, but I'm getting an 80% decrease in commission. And we're supposed to be happy about it and not complain. I was one of the top performers in my territory. With my performance last month I would... — read more
Thinking about a B2B role?
I was thinking about applying for a role in B2B and was told that it is not the best channel to be in right now. Anyone have any experience to share? I was under the impression I could make better money?
Opinionated Facts
What is one word you would use to describe mid/senior leadership at Verizon??? Mine is simply “incapable”
VZW Work Culture is Toxic
This company doesn’t care about you. They will work you to death. They want you scared, on edge, back stabbing each other and scrambling like rats. They’ll keep cutting more and more, while giving you more to do, to see how much you’ll take. While at... — read more

Covid tracking corporate stores ( running list of locations )
Try to list a city or town if your store has shut down due to covid. Has covid situations made your store thin on staffing?
Hold times and greed
Customers are holding longer than ever now. Us reps are holding for internal departments up to 40 minutes sometimes. What is going on here? Thought we had a bunch of 3rd party centers supporting us now. I hate the secrets. What ever happened to being... — read more

Stores about to close again?
My Dm is telling me to prepare for store closers for 4-6 weeks. The timing is supposed to set up right after Christmas. Why not before? Ohhhhh right profits over people.
District consolidation is right around the corner
The days of a DM having 3-5 stores will be a thing of the past. DM’s will soon have up to ten stores reporting to them. Obviously less DM’s will be needed so you know what this means??? This is a fact and mark it down. Confirmed !
