If you are looking to get a job at Verizon Wireless, think twice. Ask yourself these questions:
1. Do you have a college degree?
2. Do you have supervisor experience at a gas station, McDonalds, or a high school refreshment stand?
If you answered yes to the first question, get a job at a place that will appreciate your talent, hard work, and dedication to education. Go with a company that rewards and appreciates your college coursework. The great part about Verizon Wireless is that they do not care about your college education. It will get you nowhere within the company as everyone is promoted within and having experience at McDonalds will get you further than any college classes will.
If you answered yes to the second question then Verizon Wireless is definitely for you. Here's a great example of how Verizon promotes and how it will benefit you. If I had, lets say, 8 years of college and a degree and I was with the company for 3 years, and you have the same time with the company and 1 year of supervisor experience with your local gas station managing 2 employees including yourself, instead of a college degree, guess who gets the job interview for a supervisor position, and guess who doesn't meet the minimum requirements? That's right, you guessed it, the person with the college degree is looked over because they wasted their time getting a college degree, and the person with all their extensive experience at their local gas station wins! Wow, Verizon Wireless really knows how to retain their talent! What a great place to work! Why would Verizon Wireless want a person that can communicate better orally and in written form, which means nothing, right? Who cares if someone has taken leadership courses and understands the functions of management, it's nothing the school of hard knocks hasn't taught us with all our extensive experience in the world of fast food and gas station management. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to put down people at fast food or gas stations, but if that means more to a company than going to college, then we are steering the youth of America in the wrong direction. Screw college, get yourself some experience at the local ice cream parlor, college is useless! This is not a joke and although I am being very sarcastic, this is very much the truth. This IS HOW VERIZON WIRELESS conducts business.
I am an employee and I would consider myself one of the best employees they have and I have the stats to prove it. I am giving anyone with any college credentials fair warning, don't waste your time at this company, you will find that you will not be rewarded for any coursework taken. If you don't have any college, then this is a great place to start and I truly mean that. Just make sure you get your 1 or 2 years of hard knock experience as it will serve you well!
