My store closed today. Very thankful for what Verizon has taught me and the financial blanket that was provided after 16 years of service.

They just closed my office in Trona California

Baldwin park store in california closed this past month any rumors of any more closings

Is it just an April Fool's joke?

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true. At least that is what it looks like from newly disclosed pay figures, which show Verizon paid its median employee nearly $127,000 last year while AT&T’s median worker made about... — read more

I don’t know about everyone else but I’m really looking forward to learning new things besides maybe I can transfer and get a union job with what I learn.

Besides another carrier. I'd love to leave but without a degree I wouldn't make what I make elsewhere. I'm a pretty good rep but every year I make less and less with less overtime and increasing quotas. Everywhere I look I'm gonna take a $20k paycut... — read more

Verizon is just like any other large corporation, in the way that it is simply a heartless machine. It has no feelings, no conscience, no compassion, no remorse. There is not one single person to blame for all of its failures, an no particular... — read more
