Like every store there are bad employees and good employees. I am giving my 5 star rating to the Sales Associate RICARDO GOMEZ. My family has had MANY problems with the company all ranging from payments and stupid errors from other employees. But ultimately Ricardo has helped us.
Here are my bad experiences with other employee(s).
My boyfriend and I went in to get the Tablet promotion when it was going on; we went in to see what all the fuss was about and we talked to an Associate named Steve (or was it Steven?)he painted a beautiful picture of how we will get the tablet a lower monthly bill and well got my boyfriend and I all hyped up. Told us, we'd have to change the current plan to one where we would be saving money and with that we'd have to get new sim cards. We were told my the numbers would be same and everything would be the same just new sim cards.And the switch would happen in the next three hours. BUT He didn't bother to ask us what kind of phones were owned so he can cut the sim card to the appropriate sizes and that later caused an issue.(I'll get back to that in a sec). So the main thing he told us was "You will not have to pay this month". Here we were thinking how great! We save a months worth of money towards the phones and when the new plan kicked in we'd have a lower payment. NOT THE CASE. Not only did we STILL have to pay that months payment but we also had to go back because the sim change never happened. He explained to us that in three hours (from the moment we changed the plan that same day) we'd have to change the sim cards because the old ones were NO GOOD. So of course we had to go back where more issues were found.
We went back to the story and we spoke to Ricardo who had no idea what our problem was but was very caring enough to look into it and eventually finding a solution...
Side note: I do remember that day, Steve(n) was there and Ricardo was asking him of what he did and what he didn't do and that guy just shrugged it off. Granted he wasn't on duty (assuming since he was not in uniform) but couldn't he have cared a little more that he screwed up?
So turns out that Steve(n) guy did not submit the forms or what ever it was to his manager or who ever it was so that my boyfriend and everyone in his plan could keep their exact same phone numbers, leading to the sim cards not working and making the whole account CRAP causing Ricardo to make phone calls in order to fix my bf account. Ricardo fixed it. He was patient enough to fix it and did not get annoyed, not once did he get frustrated and maintained a great attitude through it all making sure we were satisfied at ease with this whole situation the OTHER GUY had created. Ricardo even made sure we got a little data for all the inconvenience for a month and made sure he brought it up to his manager about what Steve(n) did and didn't do. That guy just really didn't care. Even when Ricardo said he'd mention it to him to submit the forms. VERY IRRESPONSIBLE. ----- I'd also like to mention that the bill stayed the same. Nothing changed. He did not make it "lower" for us like he promised -------
That same Associate (steve or steven not sure) helped my family (mom and dad) with their plan. AGAIN he painted us a pretty picture of saving money and getting a tablet and BAM. He Convinced us and told us we'd be paying a lot less and thats what got my parents hooked. Saving money. The bill came and nothing changed. So disappointing. I personally dont think he should work there. Throughout our time with him as he was "working" on my parents account he did not make eye contact, was not engaging and was not comforting about anything. I'm no expert about customer service but I am pretty sure thats not customer service. He just got his commission from helping us but didn't bother to get to know us...the customer who helped him get that commission.
Fast Forward to today, both my parents and boyfriend went in to talk to Ricardo about their account(different times). He broke it down in sections and he was very clear and concise. My parents were not lost and they felt comfortable. My parents, boyfriend and i were very impressed. He knew what he was talking about. Handled the situation with ease and stayed cool, calmed, and collected.
LASTLY, I do want to add when my boyfriend went in today to talk to him about his account about the payment being so high we spoke to this other associate maybe his name was MAX? not entirely sure but we spoke to him and all he said to us was "sorry i can't help you you have to call 611" and I was so upset!!! Thats it? Recommend to call 611? And thats when i said "Is Ricardo here" and yup he fixed it. That other guy was just so ugh!.
Thank you Ricardo G. You is the bomb. Keep up the good work. read more
