Pros

Pay decent for retail.Decent benefits. Pretty good training programs.

Cons

Favoritism, extreme pressure. Management weak. Retail managers clueless. You could never do enough for this company and the people crushing the numbers are the biggest liars and cheaters in the stores. They talk all day about having integrity but don't practice what they preach. You're trained to mislead customers with clever appoaches like bundling. Horrible work, life mix. Since you're always under pressure to hit unrealistic quotas you practically have to live at a store.

Pros

- Pay is great. - Team Leaders were very helpful

Cons

- Forced to shove products down customers throats even as a technical support person. This isn't so bad as of course you want to make money for the company. But in the end was becoming so bad the customers would explain that before they got to me someone that spoke broken English was holding them hostage on the call unless they agreed to add something to their account. - Sending more and more jobs overseas. A leader even went as far as telling the people getting let go that these "Global Partners" were happy to get paid $7 per hour and had no problems asking customers to buy more.

Pros

Good benefits, quick "time-off" accrual, co-workers are usually great. The company is great if you dont work the retail side of it. Verizon has a strong infrastructure with FiOS and other home internet products. But the wireless side is a sinking ship.

Cons

Understaffed, Constant changes with products and services that managers force you to sell to customers, (even if they are not interested). You are not just "sales".., 80% of the time its customer service because of Verizon's outsourced and untrained, customer service from overseas... The system we use is getting worse by the day. The disconnect between corporate and the retail stores will be the downfall of VZW retail.
