We had the most amazing experience! Thanks to Destini and Dancey and their speedy help, knowledge of devices and amazing customer service! We could not appreciate them more. She helped us get four new phones and a new Apple Watch. After being with AT&T for more than 30 years, we were happy to make the switch to Verizon! 10/10 recommend!

Avoid this store at all costs. I had to go to this store a few times to resolve an issue. The first time, the employee who helped me was obviously new but she was incredibly helpful. I had to go back a few days later because the issue popped up again. The second time I came in she was reprimanded by a coworker for trying to advocate for me in resolving my issue.
They don’t want to help. Instead they want their customers to figure out their problems on their own on the Verizon website. If you’re not buying a phone but need help with a phone you already purchased, they have no desire to help. Unless they’re new, but the more experienced employees will get that helpful attitude out of their system fast.
Go to the Verizon in Gun Barrel city instead. They provide a MUCH better customer service experience and will make sure you leave with your problem(s) solved.
