Does anybody work for Verizon Wireless?

[methodtoll]

I have a interview tomorrow with them and wanted to get a feel for the company, just wanted to see if anyone has worked for them or is currently working for them.

[Delhommey]

I have many years back.

All wireless companies are hell holes, but it's the best hell hole out of all of them.

What position?

[Carolina Husker]

No, but their Park Road employees are some of the worst people on the planet.

Kind of funny that you ask that because I have a little bit of a problem.

See, last week I was offered a position at another Verizon Wireless store through a temp agency as a temporary full-time greeter. I am suppose to start tomorrow but tuesday I received a call from our local VZW store asking if I wanted to come in for a interview for a full-time Customer Sales Rep. So tomorrow, I am going to the interview for the Customer Sales Rep and immediately following that I am going to start my other Verizon job at the other store.

I rather take the Customer Sales Rep (even though I hate working in sales) just because it is actually with Verizon and not a temp agency where I may not be guaranteed a job after 3 months.

The shop on Fairview across from SouthPark is great.

I want to get some takeout from Harper's and go eat it in there.

[Scrumtrilescent]

They'd probably let you. Get a Carolina Smoothie, too

[Carolina Husker]

It used to be a Harper's To Go Go.

[Scrumtrilescent]

I don't do Harpers...it's beneath me.

You need to be able to multitask and be able to deal with high level of stress. You need to have people skills and be able to deal with unhappy costumers at all times. Sometimes, job gets insanely busy and people have to wait for service like its a freaking doctors office... Be polite and apologize for the wait. You need to be able to work in teams and by your self. If manager is not happy with you, never talk back... even if your manager just hit puberty.

I never worked at Verizon Wireless but I did stay at Holiday Inn last night.

I hope you realize there could be problems if the Full-time position is offered to you by Verizon...

If you've gotten a job through a real "Temp Agency", and you've filled out their paperwork, then you are their employee working a "job" for Verizon . If you abruptly end your employment with the Temp Agency to work for Verizon, they have the right to demand your contract's wages from Verizon, and Verizon would have to find their own person for the job you were offered. It means Verizon will not have an employee for the temp-position, AND possibly owe the Temp Agency money, just to hire you full time. So add your full-time salary to that temp agency's contract, and that's what you are costing Verizon.

Now.. if this was a pure head-hunting agency, that's different... they get paid a fee for finding you. But if it is really a "Temp Agency" that's giving you a 3-month contract... you might have screwed the pooch here.

You should (if you haven't already) discuss this with the person you're interviewing with.
