This review has nothing to do with Phone Verizon customer care--they suck. This is about this one store in Culver City, in the Target shopping area on Jefferson. My phone needed to be replaced. I did my research and decided what I wanted. I walked in and got lucky with the most wonderful salesman. His photo is below. Wait for him to take care of you. He went through all the features of my new phone and put everything from the phone I was tossing into the new one. All of my photos, everything. I told him I was not good with phones and had little understanding so I wanted him to do it all, even put my wallpaper back on. He was patient and kind and explained things to me more than once and then showed me. He suggested other apps I should download and did that for me as well. He did everything I asked and more. I wanted earbuds--know nothing about them and he showed me how to use them, what would be best for me and I bought them. I also bought everything else he thought I would need and I love my new case. He was so nice and paid attention to me, not my know it all husband. He helped me. He was so great. He is the only way I will deal with again, so give the guy a raise. I wish I could recall his names, but I forgot. But he is adorable. He spent over an hour with me and never rushed me when he saw I was confused. He spent over an hour with me and never rushed me when he saw I was confused. read more

This Version in Culver City on Jefferson is great. We had the best service. I am not bright when it comes to phones and mine just stopped working. We went to this Verizon and I am so glad we did. They had a great selection of phone and everything you need to go with a phone. We did not have to wait long and the nicest salesperson helped me. I told him he would be doing a lot because I knew little. He spent an hour with me. He got my phone working, was able to take everything off the dead phone. My photos were restored and he showed me new apps I would want and need for the moved stuff. If he helped me get the wallpaper I had back on to the new phone. When I left I had a working phone that I was able to use right away and I was able to figure out what I needed to know. I was so lucky to find this salesman. read more

Came into the Verizon store today and was told there was a short wait. I was fourth on the list but only waited about ten minutes. Ronnie Gomez helped me, and he was excellent--knowledgeable, patient, and professional. Having worked in this industry before, I could tell he knew exactly what he was doing. He explained the plans, deals, and options clearly, and he really tried to make it work. That said, I didn't end up walking out with the phone I wanted. The main issue isn't the staff it's the system. The employees don't seem to have much flexibility when it comes to pricing or decision-making, and there's no easy way to reach them directly since they don't have business cards or phone numbers. If Verizon empowered their people more, I think the whole experience would be stronger. Still, Ronnie did everything he could, and I appreciate his effort. Four phones for this visit. read more

Verizon is the worst!!!!! They say one thing and you quite the opposite for one! Cannot even imagine how they get over on seniors. They tell you that it's a free device. In fact, then your first bill shows quite the opposite.. they are a multi billion dollar company I get it but how do they sleep at night? read more

Ronnie at the Culver City store decided to tell me that a bill is correct when the billing period is March 17 to April 18th and the line items in the bill has the dates of April 18th to May 17th. Verizon screwed up my billing cycle and charges and their in store representatives are unbelievably incompetent as well as arrogant. read more

They are incompetent. I was waiting for 40 minutes for a walk in. I had to wait in the car since there were only 3 small couches and a lot of elderly people who needed to sit over me. When I got no message after 40 minutes I went inside and they said they had been looking for me and that he would add me back to the queue. I was told in person and in text that I would get a text once it was my turn and that never happened. Such idiots and wasted my time. For how expensive this phone carrier is you would think you would be able to get help regarding a phone NOT WORKING without it being a hassle. So ridiculous!! read more

You were so patient with me regarding my my service i want to thank you. There were times I almost gave up but your team got me in the right direction read more

I purchased a new iPhone less than a month ago while visiting The Bay. With a trade-in, I needed to return the old phone. After a false start yesterday, I returned to drop off it off. An enterprising sales associate accepted the device. He also advised me that I was eligible for a free Apple Watch and an iPad since the purchase was with 30 days. WTF? I needed to pay the sales taxes and a connection fee, about $160. And my monthly bill will increase about $7 a month. What would you do? LOL! read more

Loved the assistance from Q. He was straightforward and laid out my options in an easily comprehensible way. No pressure; just the facts.

Don't go in there unless you want to get bum rushed and mansplained and aggressively spoken to. I've never had a good experience there. I will take myself over to Santa Monica not to have unhappy employees yell at me before I even tell them what's going on with my account. No thanks!!! read more

RUN go ANYWHERE else!!! I made an appointment and went in knowing what I wanted - aka easy sale. There were a ton of people waiting so my appointment time came and went but I figured they were busy- I did notices at least 1 of the workers were not working at all with customers (a bad look when so many people were waiting) - when I got a notification on my phone about 20 mins after my appt time that they were ready for my appointment I approached the guy in front that was just standing there -(that's what my phone said to do) and he said - oh sure I can get you started. I told him what I wanted, he told me - and I quote "you are better off going to the Apple store because we don't have that phone and will have to order it". BUT I wanted to find out more about the promotions they had at Verizon- and wasn't sure Apple could honor them ( by the way they can) so he started scrolling through my phone (in my app- which I could have done) he quoted a trade in price and the price I would need to upgrade my plan to- seemed like a decent deal but when we tried to continue through the prompts on the app the price for the cell plan went up $15/month. I asked him to explain why and he said I can't explain it and just kept referring to his printed badge that had a price chart on it- I asked him if he could ask a manager why the discrepancy and he said - no one is going to be able to explain it but you can call customer service!!!! (I MADE and appointment- I am in the store!!!) I left and bought a new phone at the Apple store. This was seriously the worst customer service I have had in a looonnng time. I hear they work on commission, they sure don't act like it- I was an easy sale- I wanted to buy a phone, he was rude, dismissive and acted like I was bothering him. The Apple guys were great- lesson learned. read more

I have been a long time customer of Verizon, and to be quite honest, I have been very frustrated and disappointed with the experiences I've had recently. I was just about ready to switch my cell service to another carrier. However, when I visited the store recently to fix my SIM card issue, I happened to get the nicest technician, Q. He was very honest and explained to me that it was a known problem with the iPhone that I had. Besides fixing it, he also told me that I was paying way too much for the plan that i currently had. He lowered my plan significantly, helped me upgrade both my husband's phone as well as my own, and at no extra cost to us. I praise Q for his exceptional customer service. These days, customer service is just not what it used to be. Due to him, we still will remain loyal to Verizon for now. Thanks Q! read more

Not like this place needs another negative review, but here we are. We've come to this location a few times in the past and always left frustrated in some way or another (either by an inexplicable wait while associates seemed to just be hanging around, or by the associates not being able to help with anything whatsoever), but my husband came in yesterday to give it another shot. In short, he wished he didn't because it was a waste of time again. Longer version: he came in to order new phones for us for our upgrade. We had gone to a different location a few weeks ago and they were willing to order the phones for us, but said one of the deals wouldn't be able to be applied because it had to be after something changed on the most recently billing cycle, so we waited. He decided to head here because it's closer, and was told to put his name on the waitlist, which was thankfully short. Now, let me preface this by saying this is most definitely not our first time upgrading to the most recent iPhone at the time, so we're familiar with the process of it needing to be ordered and having to return when it's arrived. That's normal. What's NOT normal is the woman he spoke to trying to tell him that he'd have to leave our phones with her to be mailed out before the new phones could be ordered. Like... WHAT? Absolutely not. Luckily he's the type to not make time for silly (a nicer word than he'd use) statements/claims like that and he just left without giving this store another moment of his time. read more

A nightmare. My phone was lost. I was told I have to be authorized on my family's account. I was at the store three times yesterday. Once so far today. They said this could only be accomplished via website or app. I was just told he can call. WHAT? Horrible read more

Legit waste of time. Waitlist 7 people and associates are just standing around talking

So my mother was set to upgrade her phone. She had an iPhone 7. I originally planned to see what the black friday deals were before we go ahead and purchase a new phone for her. Instead of listening she said verizon was going to give her a great deal and that she would see what they had to offer. I told her they will try to upsell you. If they do say something about a bigger screen get the iPhone 16 pro. you don't need a pro max. Let's be honest the cameras on all the phones on the 16 are the same. So having an extra camera lens to someone who just checks emails and sends about 3 people texts a day My mother is a 65 year old woman. Who like I said just needed a basic phone. With all the phones that you guys sell you could have recommended an iPhone 14. My mother came in the store with her 85 year old mother. When I talked to her at night guess what the sales person Alex sold her. An iPhone 16 pro max for her. An iPhone 16 plus for my grandmother and talked her into a getting an Apple Watch and iPad. WHAT? Is this even ethical. You see an old lady coming and you talk her into the most expensive devices. Not cool. read more

This is a review for both store and Verizon customer service. To begin this store's experience is similar to going to the DMV. Slow staff and rude managers - Audi and Seaneil. False promises, excuses and lies! Then calling the 800 is not any better - you have to repeat yourself multiple times, staff seems inot trained in customer service and will not understand your problem no matter how many times you repeat Talking to a manager over the phone is a non existent. Ended up cancelling the service and went elsewhere. read more

Verizon - Two store managers playing on their phones while clients are waiting! - Mobile Phones Near Me - Culver City, California

Since I knew I would be paying my bill last minute recently, I decided to go old-school and see if paying in-store was still an option. Since I was in this area, I decided to drop on in since they are located in a decent shopping center with a big free parking lot. Upon walking in, it was a little awkward since there were about five associates standing there clustered talking, but a couple of them did greet me. I asked about paying a bill, and one of them told me where the kiosk was towards the back. Not a single one bothered to guide me over there themselves, but that's okay, I'm competent. The touchscreen was basic and easy to use, so I was able to do this with no issue. There was another customer in the store I didn't notice before, and another employee was helping here. There seemed to be a lot of staff in during this time. When I was leaving, they were all taking photos on a bench towards the back of the store. Since there wasn't anyone to help, I guess this was a good way to pass the time. I came to pay a bill, and I did. Customer service could have been a lot worse. read more

Went to the store today 10/5 to get info on new phone. The guy that was helping us was asked by the mgr named nick are you ok. So I asked the guy are you not feeling well. He says no i got dizzy.As I have COVID but I'm taking antibiotics. Are you kidding me. Why would the Mgr let him be at work. Unacceptable Verizon. read more

if I could give a zero I would. I came into the store and clearly even tho they are overcharging everyone's phone plan they can't find it in they're budget to hire a proper amount of people to cater to the amount of people in the store. when I waited to be checked in with the guy who's name I didn't get literally did not listen to me speak, cause I needed help to set up my new iPhone which they do for like $30 bucks (they've done it for me in the past I've been with Verizon for like 15 years they've always helped me set up my new phone) and then he cut me off just told me that they can't help me. I told him I came from another Verizon store that told me that they would be able to help me. The guy cut me off for the 4th time in the middle of my sentence and said "ma'am thats the only answer you're getting.". I called the 1800 number and they ended up helping me get signed up. first of all you shouldn't interrupt people when they're talking. also my replacement phone came in 1 week later Then quoted. Also I understand if you're understaffed but he should have said "can we set up another time to get you set up so we can better ass you" would have been fine. I get it, understaffed to many people, it was the interrupting my sentence, gaslighting me into saying they don't set up new phones, and total dismissal. I don't think he even understood what I was asking. He did not even let me complete what I was saying. Then i got upset because he's being sssooo rude like person to person forget the fact you work here you dismiss me, lie to my face, & cut me off from talking, like I don't even let family member talk to me like that Gtfoh read more

I was given a business plan. The network was not useful for my business. For delivery an logistics. PHONE Customer support . Only let me talk to foreigners. Never, nobody in the United States. So there was a language barrier all day, regardless of open hours or close hours. When we realized that the network was not good for my business, I was not disclosed at every business line that I had to transfer out.I was gonna be penalized, $725. Each line. I i was only with them 3 months. In that time, I lost thousands of dollars of business. As one additional twenty eight hundred dollars to get out of this problem. Nobody took responsibility. And I continued to pay for my ill. Inform decision. I do not recommend this store nor Verizon for business. It does not have an infrastructure with lightning speed. I went to a t and t and I no longer have that problem. BE CAREFUL WITH THIS STORE.THEY'LL DO ANYTHING FOR A SALE.AND STILL SMILE AT YOU AND TELL YOU THAT THEY CAN'T DO NOTHING.BUT THEY'LL TAKE YOUR MONEY FOR SURE.BE SAFE. read more

Excellent experience at this Verizon - I had a complicated transaction and the representative who helped me (I think her name is Timmarie) was patient, creative and efficient. We never felt rushed or pressured, we were offered multiple options and the activation process, while long (because of my volume of data needing to transfer over) was the smoothest that I can recall. The manager was very helpful as well. They had a good ratio of sales people to customers- nobody seemed to have to wait long to be helped, and it was a Saturday afternoon. I have been a Verizon customer for 25+ years, and this is why. Highly recommend! read more

Went in for my scheduled appointment and only had to wait 10 mins until being helped. I was hoping to have an upgrade, but one of my family members on my planned used mine. Jonathan found another deal that I qualified for and helped me trade in my iPhone 12 for the iPhone 16 pro. After he went on lunch, Luis helped me with the transfer. The whole process was seamless and the team was super helpful. I was worried after reading customer reviews of this location, but was pleasantly surprised!! The store was busy and everyone looked like they were being taken care of by the team members. To finish this all off - JONATHAN AND LUIS ARE AWESOME. Give them a raise because they deserve it read more

Outstanding customer service. Very impressed with the managers and advisors - all whom are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.

I would never want anybody to have to endure what I have been put through for the last two months dealing with the stores miss handling and atrocious behavior. The store employees were just supposed to help me activate a phone and instead opened up multiple phone lines without letting me know and also Lost a phone that I was supposed to be turning in and swapping for a new iPhone 16. Instead, they opened up multiple lines, and with a promotion that was going on, they received multiple phones which were not given to me or even told me about. I did not find out for a week or so when my new bill came in for over $400 when I was supposed to be $150. Having to tell this story over 100 times has really taken it out of me. Verizon as a whole has really let me down. They are not the company they once were and not worth paying the additional higher price for service when they don't provide the service. After over 18 years of service with them, I will now be leaving for T-Mobile I believe because of this store and this stores employees but also the back office And how they refuse to even get on the phone most times and want you to speak only through their digital assistant with text messaging. The store employees, including the Manager here have verbally threatened to close down my accounts because I caught them in their scheme. I was bullied out of the store by multiple members of the team and threatened to have my accounts closed on two different occasions because nobody would want to help me correct the account that they had messed up. I'm still continuing to contact them after hundreds of hours over the phone dealing with this matter. I've had over $800 of fraudulent charges credit back to my account, but I still don't have my phone that was lost or the new phone that was promised because of the swap. Speaking to Manager after Manager trying to get the department of executive relations has been a nightmare and even the manager say that they don't know how to get in contact with them, but they are the ones that I need to contact. It seems like a catch 22 where they're telling me I have to contact this department, but refusing to get me in touch with them. I've had service requests open since November 5 and nobody has reached out to me to correct this issue and solve this problem which seems like a very serious problem to me. They keep trying to get me to accept a resolution that is not a resolution at all considering the amount of time I put into this correction. This is never gonna get let go by me and I hope they realize that I'm not going to quit trying to fight for what is right. It seems to me that they are doing this to every customer and most customers don't even notice it because the bills are so hard to read and navigate through. To me it seems like what we went through as a society with the banks opening fraudulent accounts to meet quotas, and also the cable companies with their bills that were unable to be read. I will try to keep you guys all updated on the status because anytime they say they will call you back. They won't. I've been on the phone every day since November 5 and I will continue to be on the phone until Verizon corrects this matter and gets me somebody to speak to. They can keep ignoring the fact that they made so many concerning issues and mistakes, but I will never forget. -** Update and reply to owner: Verizon has lost my trust and loyalty. They have refused to help resolve the full issue and disrespect they have shown me. Yes they refunded the fraudulent charges but because they never would have if I didn't fight for myself for over a month to get this corrected. They refunded the bare minimum and I received zero compensation for my time or comfort. I have lost faith in their service and commitment to loyal lifetime customers. I now have to review my bill every month in detail because most of my loyalty discount were unable to be applied since they are all grandfathered and discontinued because I have been there so long most of the things are not offered anymore or even on their system. So now I have to manage it all myself. Long gone or the days of trusting Verizon as a company I can rely on. read more

Never have received help or good service here. The people who work here seem to Hate customers. I get it, not everyone is as tech nerdy as most Verizon employees, but it's your job to help answer questions, even dumb ones. The guy I just talked to made me want to switch to T-Mobile. He wouldn't go thru any trade in options. read more

Luis was extremely helpful. He made easy a complicated transaction. He quickly understood what we wanted and updated our phones and the plan and actually saved us money, making the best of the promotion Verizon offered. The manager was also friendly and nice. The store is modern and very clean with a good vibe. read more

Excellent customer service! Q helped me seamlessly navigate what can sometimes be a frustrating experience. Very patient and helpful!

Came in excited about getting my new phone but needed help setting it up. I have been there before. But unfortunately i didn't receive the good customer service I am accustomed to when going to Verizon after being with them for over 20 years now. The representative was absolutely rude and did not help. I came in to make sure I was completing my trade-in process correctly from online. The representative was not able to help me and told me I needed to call Verizon. What is the point of having stores if the people inside the stores cannot help me or connect me with the proper representative to get the matter handle while in store. Will not return to this location! read more

Do not go to this Verizon. I came to get help with wiping clean my old phone after having upgraded to a 16 Pro. You get 30 days to turn in your old phone. I came to this Verizon within14 days. I was unable to remember my Apple ID password which is necessary to get into the old phone so the sales person told me to set a one hour delay which apparently is required to reset a password. I didn't know that, and she never explained that. She also didn't explain that once you set a delay you have to wait the full hour. It cannot be turned off or canceled. I asked to speak to the manager. He was worse. After asking for help because I didn't understand why this delay was required he kept walking away, telling me that "you seem to be frustrated so I can't help you and I have other customers to take care of." Yes, I was frustrated. I needed help, and I needed someone to explain to me why Apple now requires a one hour delay before resetting the password. He only said that at the very end after my persistence and his rudeness and unwillingness to provide the slightest amount of courteous customer service. I guess once I upgraded my phone 14 days ago I was no longer seen as a potential commission and providing customer service wasn't a priority. I have never been treated so poorly by anyone at Verizon (or at any other business) let alone by a so-called manager. His name is Nick (Nicholas) and he is at the 10814 Jefferson Blvd location. As the saying goes in Pretty Woman, big mistake. Huge. Please go to any other Verizon store. Or maybe T-Mobile? read more

The lazy, poorly-trained, and ignorant employees were of zero help to me. My 5G router was not working and I had no wifi. I did the usual fixes including checking the power, resetting it, changing cables, etc. I took it into the store for diagnostics, repair, or replacement since I use it working from home. The two 'greeter' employees and a manager all told me the same thing: I could call customer service and they'd send me a new one in two business days or I could sign up for a new service, cancel my old service, and get a new router. What's the point of a physical store if they can't service the products they sell? I called customer support and the auto-chat makes the assumption that someone with Verizon internet also has Verizon cell phone service. That wasted five more minutes. Finally I got a rep on the phone who contradicted what the store employees told me. The rep finally reset my router and it finally worked. I was not impressed with Verizon's: * employee training * willingness to help solve a customer's problem * and lack of options for phone support I had been thinking of getting Verizon for my cell service. After this horrible experience, I think I'll just use landlines and payphones ;) read more

I've been a long time customer of Verizon. I came in for help today and was worried about the reviews I read here but was immediately comforted. Q helped me - he was so incredibly knowledgeable, efficient and sweet. I felt like I was being helped by a friend. Loved the experience - thank you!! read more

Update Just got our first bill and these professionals charged us $80 a month instead of the $35 we were promised Total first bill $392 for three lines! DO NOT GO HERE!!!! read more

Horrible service...Before coming .. I checked Yelp for the store hours .. Which showed they closed @ 8:00-pm... Well I arrived at 7:00-pm exactly .. And the security guard locked the door in my face... I explained to her ..The closing time on Yelp was 8:00-am...And she just said we are closing early tonight... I Guess .. Your best bet is .. Call before you go... read more

writing this review with new iphone i just got. i haaaaate dealing with a phone upgrade, and i braced myself for a super long terrible process but i was so impressed with this store... i arrived at 6:50pm to upgrade my phone. by 7:50pm i was walking out with a new phone, an apple watch they had on promotion when you bought a new iphone, screen protector applied perfectly, and all my data transferred (ALL OF IT). i hate that i can't remember the woman's name that helped me (timura?) but she was awesome, as was the rest of the staff. never have i ever had such a non-frustrating experience buying and transferring a new phone...10/10. read more

I can't believe the sorriest service from Verizon ever! The employees here seem to "hide" from the customers! It's like no one wants to help you out. I only saw two employees actually helping out. The manager, Jerry, acted like he was too busy to give anyone his time. Already walking in I was given attitude, Jerry, said the wait was from an hour to an hour and a half. The store wasn't even full! Every single person that walked in looked lost, like we're doing Verizon a favor. Never come to this Verizon store! Please go to another one if you don't want to loose your cookies!! read more

I was having difficulty activating my new phone, my attempt online was disaster with language difficulty and lots of wasted time repeating myself. I was hesitant coming to this corporate store full of negative reviews? They proved me wrong, very competent Luis knew exactly how to resolve my issue and the staff in the store couldn't have been nicer and washed away my frustrations! Thank you all for great service. Go to corporate store and stay away from franchisees! read more

This store is an abomination. I purchased a phone that didn't work and the store never returned it to the warehouse. This means I am still getting charged for a phone I don't have. I've called into Verizon 6 times and the store manager insists I come in and speak to him. This has been months. He was SUCH an asshole and continues to be just that. I would avoid this store at all costs because the manager will, literally, steal from you. He should be fired and that he hasn't (that I know of) is a testament to Verizon being careless, too. read more

Long gone is the time where companies like this actually want to help their consumers. Seriously, don't have the option on the app to setup an appointment to go in for help, if all you're interested in doing is focusing on sales. Went in to drop off and cancel the new 5G home service I signed up for because, unfortunately, I did not get service in my home. At a different store, I was told to return it to a Verizon store within 30 days to cancel and avoid a restocking fee if it didn't work out. Great! Well, not so great, because I setup an appointment to do just that and came here at set appointment time. Guy takes my info, and asks why I'm there, then just says I'll be right back. 10 minutes later, he hands me a Fed-Ex return label to return the device and says call 611 to cancel. I explained to him what I was told, and he just said there's miscommunication and his manager said to refer me to 611. Wow, what great help that was and what a waste of gas. Point is, this store won't help you unless you're buying a new phone. I wouldn't buy a new phone from them ever again. Much less home internet service. Just buy from Apple directly if you want a new iPhone with great and stick with another internet provider. SMH. read more

Very bad customer service.. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU HAVE AN UPGRADE!! I had an upgrade for my IPhone 11 to trade in for the 'IPhone 15 on us' in which the trade-in is suppose to cover the cost of the new iPhone. Come to find out I have been getting billed an extra 23$ per month now scheduled for the next 36 months because they did not apply the upgrade and instead credited me 60$ for my old iphone. The upgrade says 'Trade in your current device for an IPhone 15 on us'! Make this make sense. This place will rip you off!! Not to mention, I have had a business account with Verizon for over 10 years! Very unprofessional. read more
