Pulse mandatory
Pulse is optional but we are pressured to take it or else my store looks like a store with lots of concerns. Upper management with non stop pressure. The survey is good but the top top big wigs forcing it is BAD. So if you ask me it’s mandatory. If... — read more

A few years left
Verizon's strategy of using technology to become more "efficient" and cut its workforce is harming employee morale. The company's relentless focus on cost-cutting and a perceived lack of value for its employees will, I hope, lead to a downward spiral... — read more

Performance extraction, anti-disability company
I barely even know what to say. This company will use you and use you. Relishing your output as you’re dying inside. If you try to do the right thing and get help for yourself, that’s when they will start looking at you. Do not work here.
