Nasty Verizon Reps are paid way too much ! !

I guess there is no moral at the top,
so not much to be expected from the
bottom.

Soon all my ties with pos Verizon will be
severed. It will be the one of the single most
reconstructive days of my life.

Cutting your Verizon ties too?
Plenty of other choices. They are not needed.
Especially the attitude.

And to think 2 years ago I almost invested in the
DRIP plan they have. Glad I did not do it. The stock
price is going to go down and stall. If you are invested
in Verizon sell now.

How can you make a circle with no friends

Any or all of that may be true, but at the end of the day, for me, "its the
network"

I think they probably don't get paid enough. What do they make? 10-14
bucks an hour. How are you supposed to survive in this economy on that
kind of money.
I think there should be a minimum wage of 10 dollars an hour for all
American citizens and legal immigrants.
By the way - at least in my local VZW store - EVERYONE of the reps has
always been courteous.
I do not work for VZW.
I hate the corporate nickel and diming.
I think they have a great network.

How can you make a comment like that without even knowing how much they
make? Sounds like you are angry because you didn't get what you want.

$10 bucks an hour for minimum wage? Minimum is not supposed to be a wage
sufficient to
live off of. Its meant to get you into the market and then nudge you on to
better paying positions or into
an education pathway to better yourself. Never intended to be a living wage
(evern years ago with I made $1.65/hour)
Knew I had to do something to earn more......my GF was costing me a
fortune.....daily......

Otherwise, Verizon reps probably do make about $10-14/hour. I've never been
impressed by any of them at the VZ stores.
I steer clear....not really helpful, can't trust their judgement and the
bloody kiosk system drives me to drink.

I don't work for VZ, IBM or Sprint.....but I did stay at a Holiday Inn
Express last night.
I like the corporate nickle and dime.....if they give me the quarters.
i think they have a network......great? ehhhh, maybe?

Not good bank in Boston. Rent for tiny apartments start at around 2000
per month. My rent for basically the same apts 40 years ago was about
175 per. One of the reasons I left Boston. Thats tough for a college kid.

I have spoken to many Verizon reps and I think they do OK. At the end of
each call they always ask, something like: "Did I answer your question?" If
you reply "No," they quickly transfer you to someone who really really knows
what they are talking about. They seem to have tiers of reps with varying
knowledge.

As a recently departed VZW employee who worked with commissions, I can tell
you that the average retail sales rep has a base salary of around $12 per
hour, varying by geography (Zones 1 through 4). This is about 70% of their
base pay. The remaining 30% is considered "at risk", which means
"commission". VZW also provides spiffs from time to time. I have seen
commission checks for VZW retail employees as high as $12k for a month.
Typically, the highest monthly commission checks are around $5k to $6k per
month. The monthly targets of the sales reps are set to where the average
rep will make about 110% of their target. Now, do the math.

Incidentally, when a sales rep has a big month, a windfall policy goes into
effect. Which means that, by commitee, their commission checks can be
reduced pretty much at will. I have seen this happen many times. Also, a
sales rep is charged back the whole commission for either service or
features if the customer cancels during the "vesting" period. So if a
customer cancels the service after 364 days, the customers receives a
liquidation fee, but the sales rep gets screwed out of their entire
commission. This issue is in litigation right now in California:
