    The most incompetent workers I have ever dealt with. Noor The supervisor help assist me originally with one of their employees who was having a hard time with my transferred they did a buyout from my last company and screwed me over. Let me go out the store with the devices stating to do an email which never went through he gave me a different name than the one that’s on his name tag to add to the email . I had to follow up and that’s when I realized nothing he did was correct other than charge my account and sell and up sale. $800 I had to pay out-of-pocket Went back in yesterday the fluffy black manager incompetent And unprofessional. Full of error and air when he talked. He was unaware how to do his job unaware of the stock in the store. Then started to help another customer Before completing start to finish what I came in for. Noor Again, tried to send me home with the same BS because he needed to leave early and the store was closing . I am not for sure who’s over this store, but they definitely need to review footages redo the training of their managers, which is sad because they are the store leaders. The plus side is Verizon does have great benefits and package deals. Unfortunately, their staff members are just incompetent .

    Pretty good service although it did take them a few minutes to find my account. I find their prices high other than for FIOS, which I would recommend to everyone who can get it. We were trying their wireless internet - didn’t work out.

    Super slow staff, constantly attempting to upsell customers. If they stopped upselling the line would go a lot faster

    As Verizon stores go, this particular one is definitely one of the better ones. Noor was the specialist who helped us. He was a very congenial, polite, patient and knowledgeable person. He spent a lot of time with us but when it was all done, we walked out as two satisfied customers. We have been to other Verizon stores in the area but in my experience, this one tops them all merely by their competent staff. Thank you, Noor, for your attention to our needs! Good luck to you and all of your future endeavors!!
