Update: "Hope we can help you in the future," is a *BS* response. The future is now. How about give what you promised? UNTIL THEN: DITCH THEM Trust every 1-star review: They're *EXPERTS" in how to *avoid* work. Unless you're *only* buying something, they will find a way *not* to help you. I get jobs in retail are hard but... here's a great, true story. You can't make this up: I walk in. This dead-eyed kid asks, "How can I help you?" I put my hand out to shake his hand and offered my name; he literally did not move, stared me in the face for 30 seconds, my hand still there, before he said, "How can I help you?" again. Repeated it like a robot. I said "Oh, that was a little weird." He says..."I don't shake people's hands on account of Covid." I said, "Cool, I respect that, maybe lead with that in response next time, instead of staring at me then doing that." He said, "It' cuz we see so many people here daily." ..."Cool, like I said, I get that just... Y'know let's wipe the slate clean and start over. I was sent here from 2 other stores for an upgrade after talking to someone on the phone. Then someone here sent me to Best Buy. There, they said I'd have to do it in-store, online, back here, then have it delivered." Pause. Dude says, "Yeah, you have to do it on the phone." I say, "Great, let's do it." He says, "No, you have to do it on the phone." ..."Right. See, I talked to them on the phone. They sent me to a store. That store said they were the wrong store, and to come here. Someone here said, 'Go to Best Buy across the street.' They sent me here to do it on the phone, with you present." "Yeah, you have to do it on the phone." "Can I do it on the phone here?" He says, as if I'm a child: "See... it'll be someone from Verizon on the phone who will do that for you, talking to you." "Uh huh. I did that. They sent me here." "We won't be able to help you." ... I say, "You're about to get a Sicilian hex on you. And we practically invented Medusa." ... "We can't help you." ...So. They will not be able to help you. read more

Knowledgeable, staff, and patient. Conveniently located. Most items are available and in stock.

I came in for few general questions with complicated story & Austin was very helpful and extremely kind!!! Pedro on other hand was rude as hell, impatient, & sarcastic, he should work on his hideous attitude read more

wasn't too happy with the help at the retail store. like used car sales people, they wish you in, promise you the world, sell everything and then they suddenly don't remember you when you have a problem. the rep at the Burbank store might have difficulty helping as I think English is not her mother language and doesn't have a grasp of what customers are looking for. read more

They took 30 min for us to wait and you can't just drop off the old phone. The dude took like another 20 min just to give us a box and a label and told us to take it to ups to drop it off.. we get there just for the lady at ups to tell us no this is for fed ex so basically wasted our time. Changing phone plans for sure now. Don't come to this Verizon unless you want a bad experience. Y'all suck. read more

Worst customer service ever. Agents always have different story's. I always waste time here and never know if I'm getting the truth. The Magee clamorous be the supervisors as well. stay away from the store and sit call 611. Sad after being a customer for 20 year's read more

I'm recently a new customer with Verizon. I came to the Burbank Empire store to purchase a power adapter and had a question about my new plan. I was put on the wait list and 3rd in line. As I was looking around waiting for my turn, another Verizon employee came up to me asking for my sign in info again as it had been erased by accident. No biggie. I willingly gave this and asked the gentlemen what adapters for home and car I would need for my new iPhone 15. He clearly was bothered that I was asking a question and said in a rude condescending tone, "mam, I dont know what kind of car u have to make that suggestion". I explained to him what type of adapter I would need for my car to which he didn't bother listening just said someone would help me when it was my turn. Now, I could understand some what If he was busy , however he was mostly definitely not. He preceded to chat and laugh about his prior evening with the store security guard. He could've easily taken 30 seconds out of his time to show some interest in providing customer service and point me in h right direction. Yet he chose to be rude, arrogant and dismissive. I waited patiently for my turn, and while doing so observed just rude behavior with the customers who came in after me. I and will not be back to this location. Terrible customer service by this gentleman left a lasting impression as he is the first contact you see when you come into the store. No thanks. read more

The manager is a complete jerk with attitude. Super nasty I can't believe he is a store manager and he made a comment on the fact that I was older than he was. Kevin ran into the back when I tried to take a picture of him. read more

I had a very bad experience in this store last month. I tried to return an iPhone to upgrade an it was very unprofessional how they lied about the promotions and fees ...I had to come in twice because the manager was rude and narcissistic. Overall I strongly suggest to avoid this store in victory Blvd at all costs !!! Big time SCAMMERS ! read more

Manager Jorge here is very unprofessional and condescending. I bought a phone online, they did not explain the full process upon purchase, the manager would not let me pick up my purchase after I get as notified it was ready. He put forth zero effort to try and help correct the situation. Not to mention his smug attitude. Avoid this store, or Verizon if possible. read more

Michael, the business manager, and Adrian, the specialist, were amazzzing and helped me with everything I needed! Best Verizon experience ever! Thank you guys! read more

Everyone in this store is lazy and incompetent, especially the manager. They act like they're doing you a favor and that you're wasting their time by asking questions. Extremely rude and unprofessional. I do not recommend this store, and Verizon should fire the rude manager and other employees that treat customers this way. read more

Terrible customer service the manager was very rude also the employees They refuse identified by the name or employees I'd That's the reason I will close my business with Verizon and also change company this location is terrible read more

Verizon - Shame of them - Mobile Phones Near Me - Burbank, California

See all

Went into the Burbank "Company Store", today, Sun. 7-17-22. I wish I had gotten the name of the rude a-hole, who was supposedly helping us. All he did was argue, in between every statement, I had to hear "I can appreciate that", then he would argue. Tried to make me change my plan, saying because I was getting the S22 Ultra, I had to have a different plan, which of course cost more. No matter what I asked, I was told "no" you will need to make an appointment and come back. My husband and I have been with Verizon over 25 yrs. My husband called customer loyalty, at this moron's recommendation, then he argued with her, telling her he would not honor what she was telling him to do for us. I finally yelled loudly, this place is worse then a used car lot. You have done nothing to help, you have done nothing but frustrate us, I asked him "are you going to do anything to accommodate us"? He said No. Even the lady on the line from customer loyalty was shocked. She just kept apologizing for how rude he was. Verizon really needs to do something about the rude people they hire. Send in a secret shopper, or maybe this is the way the train their people. One thing for sure, I will not go to that store again. read more

I don't know why this location has been given so many negative reviews. I was greeted graciously, and even though I did not have an appointment, a lovely rep, Corinna, was instantly assigned to me. I am a technophobe - she kindly, patiently, and good-humoredly answered all of my questions and concerns, showed me how to do things (correctly - new phone), and asked me to do them, so that she was assured that i understood and could do it myself. Corrina was WONDERFUL!, and I am very grateful to her. This will be my Verizon go-to store from now on. Thank you! read more

If I could give a minus 0 I would as you can see by their rating. They don't tell you the truth when you trade in your phone I traded my iPhone 14 Pro Max and they told me I would get the credit of 800 then I could pay the remaining balance , now they are telling me I gave my old iPhone for free and I would still have to pay the remaining balance of 1200 if I pay ahead of time. Unless I wait 3 years. Now I'm going to have to switch to at& t. Bad business practices. They don't tell you have to wait until 3 years. Then that is when you get the discount but you have to pay 23 dollars extra on your bill for 3 years so that is 800 dollars you paid extra and gave your phone also so you gave them your old phone for 800 then you paid 800 in 3 years wow scum bags I'm switching!!!! read more

Wow... truly appalled by what just happened here. Jorge the manager should not work in custom service. We were given misinformation about picking up an order and needed help to rectify this issue. Jorge was immediately cold and ready to bite our head off. He was not helpful and he was extremely rude and condescending, for no reason. I could understand if we were giving him attitude or being rude but this was coming out of nowhere. I don't know what happened in his guy's day but he was determined to make everyone around him miserable. He needs to check it at the door before interacting with people. read more

I am rather disgusted to say the least. Austin, the sales rep helped me switch 4 lines from ATT to Verizon. I switched the lines because I run my business over my phone and was having signal issues every now and then. After switching all 4 lines to Verizon, NOT A SINGLE ONE OF MY PHONES HAD ANY SERVICE. Upon Austin calling Verizon headquarters the rep Regina clearly stated that a message was sent out that morning to all locations stating there is a nationwide outage on transfers. Apparently this was missed by Austin and numbers had been released by ATT already, meaning my phone number wasn't on any carrier. I heard other employees telling other customers that this was an issue. I, however, was not once notified until it was too late. The rep told me it would take 24-48 with no service to resolve the issue. Furthermore, Austin completely failed to ask my if any of my 4 lines were locked or unlocked. Again after switching he begins to mention that some phones are locked. He states the other phones, which he assigned esims to would work no problem once the service was fixed on Verizon's end. The locked phone he states are an easy fix. He attempts to help me fix one of them. Nothing he did helped. ATT denied his request to unlock the phone. I sat on the phone for hours trying to figure it out. TURNS OUT ALL 4 PHONES WERE LOCKED and could have never been transferred until unlocked. Several of the Verizon customer service reps that I spoke with told me that's one of the questions that should have been addressed immediately. Apologizing for his mistakes. After 8 hours of back and forth with ATT and Verizon. 2 of the 4 phones now have service. Those are phones he gave physical sims for. The other phones don't have eSIM setup which again he not once mentioned. And ATT and Verizon can't set them up because the number is floating from one to the other in transfer. The reason for this review is because you can't reach a store manager directly, so I hope this finds one. And when I called Austin to tell him how much trouble and headache he caused me and is continuing to. He responded by it's not his responsibility to check if phones are at least unlocked before doing the transfer. I don't know if it's due to poor training or just a poor employee that represents this branch. But Beyond upsetting. Beyond unprofessional and I would highly recommend to stay as far away from that employee as possible until some change. read more

You can not get anyone at a store, all your calls are directed to a call center. I am trying to return their equipement, which the customer service said they will send me a return kit and it has taken almost four months. I ask to drop the equipement off at the store but that was not allowed. After four months, the customer service said I could drop the equipement off any of the stores only to find out that is not true. None of the local stores will take the equipement, only the corporate store, so I want to confirm that before having to yet drive out to their store but it is impossible to get through. At the price they are charging, you would think the customer service is better. read more

I would like to thank two of the employees at the Verizon store in Burbank . I went there to have a sim card replaced and unfortunately there was an issue with my phone. I was pressed for time and had to leave . Upon my return , I was helped by LeRoy he was very kind and knowledgeable , he resolved the issue very quickly . I highly recommend this Verizon store and am thankful to both of the employee's for their assistance . read more

Instead of three free phones of the ongoing promotion in July 2022, the business manager Karla issued these phones on credit for my company! Although, before registration, she talked about the ongoing promotion with free iPhones when the line was connected. after the first appeals during the first months, the managers assured that the account would soon be corrected. It's been a year and a half and nothing has changed... read more

I would give a NEGATIVE 50 Stars if it was an option. "WOW"!!! I have been a Verizon customer for 10 plus years and just a couple of hours ago I was "GREETED" with THREE EXTREMELY RUDE AS@HOLES!!! ALL THREE should be FIRED like NOW!!! They have ZERO people skills, were condescending and just all around had HORRIBLE men. BAD "THUG" ENERGY!! I WILL NEVER go to this location again and all of you who are reading this should do the same and save yourself from these low lifes...TRUST ME!!....I am cool and chill, but don't treat my kindness as weakness. read more

My phone was working backwards on Halloween. I went to the store for a new phone like whatever was in stock but not what I wanted. And the sales guy discovered that I just needed a new cord for now. Great customer service. So, I'm happy. NOTE: The iPhone X has been on preorder and it's sold out already. Officially, it's not in the market until Friday, November 3rd 2017... However, next available ship date as of today was December 1st 2017. No iPhone X models available for viewing at the store yet. read more

Dude is a scam. DO NOT GO TO MARIO. Writes so many numbers down he doesn't even know what he's doing himself. Tries adding on everything under the sun to make you pay more. Other employees were helpful but avoid this dude. read more

Honestly they are not helpful. They don't want to work they give you short answers. From the greeter to the manger/supervisor to the person that was helping. No one knew anything one said they could help the other said they couldn't and rushed us to the door. We were ready to all get new phones and were turned away and didn't even bother to try and accommodate or help or anything. I love verizon but this branch ain't it. Will also be reporting to the corporate office. Don't give them your money or time its just a waste. I have been with Verizon for 15 years and have never been so dissatisfied with services. read more

My husband and I were due for upgrades on our iPhones and I'm glad we choose this location. We were greeted by Deana she helped us all the way through. This women is amazing she helped us purchase our phones, also gave us instruction on what to do with our old phones and she got us a good plan. She is amazing at her job has great customer skills, honest, and made it super easy. She deserves a promotion because she rocks. read more

Edwin is amazing. He took care of us when we added three lines to the family plan and was very patient in doing so he assisted us through the whole process and did the switch in less than two hours thank you nice location and accommodating people parking is free. Would definitely recommend this to family and friends read more

I came in for a question and got some serious attitude from the manager. I see I am not the first to complain about his unprofessional behavior. Don't know how he is still managing this store. read more

The service here is the worst. Rude employees not willing to help. They act like they are doing you a favor even talking to you. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere to either purchase a new phone or get service for an existing one. read more

I was at this store two days ago. I was happily surprised by how polite, professional, and super helpful everyone was. The guy who helped me was named Andy, and he was great. He even arranged for Verizon customer assistance to call me right then, regarding a billing issue I wanted resolved. The lady did indeed phone me immediately and took care of everything. I've been to several Verizon stores over the years, the corporate ones are definitely a million times better than the others. But this particular store, outshines the rest. Thank you so much for all your help!!! read more

Worse service I have ever encountered. Agents are rude and not helpful. Instead of helping they just tell you to call customer service instead. I don't know how this location stays open. read more

When I came to this Verizon I had some questions about my plan and credit for phone and worker who stayed near entry doors was very rude and unprofessional he sounds like racist and nazi I felt like I'm in prison and talk with guard I'm completely don't recommend this place and Verizon in general read more

It is a shame that such a large company cannot hire professionals. I have been a Verizon customer for decades and a few weeks ago and got a brand, new phone for $1200 and a $50 screen protector screen protector. They must have installed it incorrectly as it did not last a few weeks. My previous phone from the Apple store lasted over three years. I came into the store so they can fix it and they refused to. I spoke to the manager who was extremely unhelpful, and refused to even look at my phone. Do not come to this store read more

Very rude dismissive front greeter working today. I left making my decision to leave my Verizon account after being what I thought was a valued customer for decades now - there's no bandwidth upgrade in the world that matters more than just people being decent and helpful. I came home to read these reviews and wish I had seen them sooner because I would have saved the chance of having such a poor experience as a customer. Save the trip and shop around because this branch and the company can't seem to find time to care and train anyone the right way. Bye 3 lines and all my devices and continuous overage data charges. Hello everyone else offering the same or better deals and connectivity. Bye. read more

Worst customer service ever. The store manager Jorge was not only rude and unhelpful but also unknowledgeable about Verizon services and products . He claimed that the Verizon Up program was discontinued last year but yet I still continue to earn Verizon dollars in my account under the verizon Up program. My Verizon phone app even still has a section called VerizonUp where you can see the balance of the money I earn each month from the program. I stood in the store and used their office phone to call Verizon customer service and they verified that I was correct before transferring me to the verizon Up department. Jorge begrudgingly said "alright you made your point". The whole reason I went to the store is because a chat rep in the. Sri I'm website sent me there to pickup a phone and when I got to the store they did not have the phone reserved for me. It was a total bait and switch. And as I left the store, they were still trying to sucker other customers with these fake deals. Stay far away from Verizon or at least this store read more

The worst customer service. The store was practically empty and they did not alert me to it being my turn like they said they would (I finally got the text when I left the store) and did not help me until I walked past the representative who was supposed to help me and looked at them (I saw that it was my turn but he just stood there on his computer). I was told by Verizon on the phone to go to the store for help with my issue even after I verified multiple times if that was the right thing to do. The customer service rep (heavyset South Asian guy on the left) was extremely rude and condescending about my issue even after I nicely explained my situation and what Verizon told me on the phone. He could have said the same thing but in an apologetic courteous manner. I usually have a good experience with Verizon customer service so that is why I stick with them, but this makes me want to leave the company after 10+ years of loyalty. This person needs to be kicked out of the company or retrained until he acts with more service. Now that I look at the other negative Yelp reviews I see that many others had the same experience at this store. Do better Verizon. read more

I purchased a mobile Wi-Fi Orbic device from them 1 week ago and the battery won't hold a charge. I attempt to take it back yesterday, and after waiting almost 2 hours to be seen, they tell me the WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE BATTERY. The rep also mentioned these devices have known battery issues, but were either of these things mentioned when I purchased it? No. Then he said I'd have to buy another device ($80) and referred me to Best Buy. read more

Checking in has gotten challenging now as you have to see an employee to check in then you find out how many people are in front of you. It seems like the days of fixing cell phones are gone now since I went there for my defective screen and was referred to my insurance so I could file a claim. When I asked about a smart watch for the Google Pixel 2, I was informed that no smart watch was compatible with my phone, but the Palm is an option if I want a smaller phone that requires its own plan. Although I didn't get my phone fixed, I did receive friendly service. read more

I wanted to upgrade my phone since my phone was damaged and they told me that it's not insured so no replacement it's all on me! Fine my fault I'll get a new phone so hook me up !! since I'm a loyal customer for over 15 + years.. this girl that works there stops me and says do you have an appointment or signed in because there's like 5 people ahead of you and I'll have to come back an hour or so not sure but for an hour. I looked around and it was empty , I could understand if they were busy , I said there's no one here, she said they are on a list and I'm not on it. I was like WTF.. so I left I was so pissed and confused. 15 years down the drain.... read more
