"Verizon is a great opportunity if you are young."

What do you like about working at Verizon Wireless?

"I like the benefits the company offers. The company offers tuition reimbursement. Verizon is a great opportunity if you are young. If you are older than 35, you can not afford to work there for 10 years before you can be promoted in the job that you really want."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Don't believe the promises that they tell you when you are hired. It takes a long time to move up in the company."

What don't you like about working at Verizon Wireless?

"At the retail level its very micromanaged, and in the current economy the sales goals are unrealistic. The commission dollars are impossible to make. Verizon promotes by sales, not by education."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Forecast sales for the current economic conditions, not on what happened two years ago. Track traffic and hire more customer service reps for a store that is at least 70% customer service. Get rid of the score sheets and commissions and pay straight salaries with bonuses or other incentives for sales."
