Verizon

I started my career in the phone company working part time while still in high school. Once I graduated they hired me as a full time employee with great pay full benefits and a pension. I just recently retired with 51 years of service

Great company to work with. Enjoy helping customers with their account issues or with that new purchase of a device.

Great culture and people to work with. Lots of room for professional development and a caring group of managers.

Before Verizon sold off the FiOS services to Frontier the work environment was busy but fun. Your immediate supervisors were in touch with what you did on the phones because that's where they started. Upper management was not in touch with what it was like to be on the front line of customer support of their fiber optic network. They had competitive compensation that was a above average and you felt as if you were part of a team.

I started working for Verizon at 19 yrs old. When i finished my career at Verizon i ended up with 30 yrs with the company. There are alot of ups and downs but if you work hard you can more up in the company. The company have alot of opportunities to do so.

I would up sale to customers when they came into the retail store to make monthly payment. Top seller in Alabama and Florida. Always exceeded my monthly quota.

I worked for Verizon from 2004-2010 and was a great company to work for. Would love to return as the pay and benefits were great.

Its a very good place to work They expect for you to do your job They give you instructions and let you take the initiative

I am a certified Scrum Master with over 7 years experience, currently supporting two teams that deliver high quality value to customers. My contract is ending so am open to new opportunities.

Working for Verizon, I lead teams and was part of teams which team members were from all across the United States. We worked on projects for years at a time. We were like a family, and had each others back.

Hospitalized 3 times because of treatment as an employee and job stress. 4 people I know of personally basically went " bananas" , hospitalized, and quit. Extremely stressful having to meet many metrics. Still, in ths large corporation, immediate supervisory staff plays favorites. Opportunities are given only to a select few. Newcomers are promoted over tenured personnel. Open positions are not posted. The selected few are secretely contacted and promoted. Fair treatment is non-existent. Job pays well but super stressful situations ever day with callers, supes and metrics. Select few work off line. The stress is not worth the pay.

Verizon's motto is "Change energizes us". And they hold stead fast to that motto. Managers come and go, policies change quickly and the long term employee is left spinning wheels with no clear direction of leadership. I wouldn't recommend this for career pathing.

It’s great working there but I have no time for my 5 months old and working at the same time , but the moneys good and if your a single person it’s a good job

Loved taking calls from customers. I had a very supportive supervisor and got recognition when ever I deserved it. If I wasn't military and had to move I would still be there.

After the training which is actually interesting, you are put on the floor the last week then you chose your schedule. Depending on your ranking and how well you’ve done in training you normally get what you requested. From there your assigned to a team. I had a great team in fact my team members came to me for assistance and my supervisor recognized that. None of my calls ended with the customer unhappy. We were allowed to give our personal cellphone numbers to customers that requested in case they had problems in the future.

I was hired as a telephone operator, I transferred to a purchasing staff, a corporate reference center, and distribution. The job security was evident, I appreciated having a union behind me, and the job assignments went great !

I worked for Verizon for 30 years mostly in Customer service and support. My last position was to ensure business and residential customers received their phone service at the agreed date
