Verizon reviews

Sales is the only thing that matters. Customer's actual needs are pretty much not important at all. The way they sell is highly unethical to me and made me feel dirty and like I was a terrible unhonest person. It was the polar opposite of my previous job with Disney where they wanted sales but also wanted you to make the guest have the best experience possible. I couldn't do it very long because I knew there was a better way out there. The union seemed very cocky to me and cited all these great benefits that I've had in non union jobs before which left me wondering why the hell I even had to pay for it. I had to pay to park downtown and walk several blocks to go be miserable all day. The management is constantly up your butt if you happen to do anything but be chained to your phone. They pretty much threaten to fire you constantly if you don't meet their ridiculous goals. I can go on and on why this is a terrible place to work but I'm sure you get the point. If you're reading this and have an interview or recently accepted a position I strongly recommend you take any other option you have before selling your soul away. If you're in Tampa I'd highly recommend Delta or Disney as an alternative and more enjoyable career with a lot less harrasment and pressure.

Very time demanding. You'll probably find yourself mentaly working on your days off. Work/life balance tend to lean towards work more often than not. Verizon is a wealthy company due to its agressive sales campaing. Seems like every quarter they're raising the bar and it feels like they have a "what have you done for me lately" stand. Wireless Services are not free for employees. They simply provide a 50% discount and employees have contracts like customers do. If you are starting in retail its hard to get out.
