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 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 interested in our products and services.
• Engage with the community outside of the store to expand your loyal customer base, including at Verizon-sponsored events.

Top performers could make an extra $14,500 or more in commissions, with total annual earnings of $65,000+ to $73,500+. Compensation varies by location, hours, and performance.

Our comprehensive benefits (starting day one) and perks are designed to support your career and life outside of Verizon, including health benefits, education investment, and more!

• Verizon 401(k) plan with matching contributions up to 6%
