What you’ll be doing...

As a full-time Verizon Retail Sales Associate, you’ll have the opportunity to grow your career with a team focused on unlocking your full potential and sales success within one of our retail stores. Here's what you can expect:

  • Generate retail sales by using your passion for cutting-edge technology, and exceptional customer service to expand the Verizon network.

  • Learn and uncover customers' needs by creating connections and asking the right questions.

  • Position product insights and solution recommendations to provide customers with a complete top-down sales solution.

  • Close sales by using phenomenal communication skills to fulfill customer needs with simple and intuitive tech solutions.

  • Continuously develop yourself through ongoing training and up-skill in operational functions across merchandising and inventory.

  • Potential to grow your customer base by placing outbound calls and sending text messages to current Verizon customers who are interested in our products and services.

  • Opportunities to engage with the community outside of the store to expand your loyal customer base, including at off-site Verizon sponsored events.

We’re hiring immediately! This isn't your typical entry-level retail position. Whether you're just starting out or have years of sales experience, you can earn $16.00 to $21.00 per hour in base pay, plus up to $16,000 a year in individual-based commissions if you hit all your sales goals. Planning to go above and beyond? With our commission program, the opportunities are unlimited for employees who exceed their sales goals. Top performers could make an extra $14,500 or more in individual-based commissions, giving you the chance to earn a total of $65,000+ to $73,500+ annually. Compensation varies by geography, hours worked, and performance.

Our comprehensive benefits (starting day one) and perks are designed to help you move forward in your career and in your life outside of Verizon. From health and well-being benefits to investment in your education and career, we've got you covered!

  • Best in class medical, dental, and vision

  • Verizon 401(k) plan with matching contributions up to 6% of eligible participant contributions to the plan, qualified student loan repayments, or a combination of both

  • $2,500 stock grant per year, part of Verizon's Stock Together award program

  • Sales recognition programs that have, in the past, awarded top performers with all inclusive travel to domestic and international destinations, gifts, and other incentives

  • Five weeks of paid time off (vacation, holidays, personal days)

  • 8 weeks of paid parental leave for eligible new parents (for new moms, when paired with short-term disability, this benefit provides up to 16 weeks of paid time-off)

  • Up to $8K per year in tuition assistance

  • Discounts up to 50% off on Verizon products and services

  • Additional employee discounts on attractions, automotive, travel and more.

This position is a great way to jumpstart your career! One in five Verizon Retail employees received lateral or promotional moves in 2024. Too good to be true? Hear from our Verizon Retail team members on what it's like to be part of a team that invests in you. From our in-person new hire experience and award-winning training programs to our culture of learning and amazing benefits, you’ll be able to apply your skills while elevating your career.

What we’re looking for...

You’ll need to have:

  • High school diploma or GED.

  • One or more years of relevant experience required, demonstrated through work experience and/or military experience.

  • Willingness to work evenings, weekends, and holidays (you'll know your schedule four weeks in advance).

  • Openness to pick up additional shifts and earn more income, typically during the summer months, November through December, and/or during peak vacation periods.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

  • Experience working in a commission-based environment.

  • Demonstrated sales experience communicating with customers to find solutions.

  • Customer service experience.

If Verizon and this role sound like a fit for you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every “even better” qualification listed above.
