Pros

Good training for the job at hand. Information is circulated heavily and there's always an answer to your questions on the company intranet. Compensation and benefits are second to none in the cell phone industry. There are plenty of career opportunities ranging from retail sales to lawyer to IT, etc. Employee morale is increased through quarterly kick-off events.

Cons

Lack of fairness and respect at the individual level in the retail channel. Leadership could put more time into morale boosting activities and ease up on stressing too many things at once. You can sometimes get lost in the disconnect in such a large company that is national in scope.

Pros

The pay is great and the benefits.

Cons

They want you to be a robot with extreme expectations. The computer systems are constantly having issues making it very hard to meet your stats or help the customer when everything you do is on the computer. Customers are irate due to we have no specialists anymore for ex Billing specialist, Orders specialis Tv specialist Phn specialist or Data specialist. Due to this the customer has to talk to several reps before someone finealy takes ownership of the call thus making the customer extremely irate.

Pros

Money. VZW pays an extremely good paycheck and has a phenomenal benefits package.

Cons

Ridiculous meeting and training schedule. Every time you turn around there's another meeting to attend or another training to take. Often times trainings are just rehashing something we were trained on before. Are they serious? The meetings are out of hand as well. Friday is our busiest day of the week, yet we have to be there every day at 7am even if we are scheduled to close that day thus making it a 14 hour day! EVERY WEEK!
