This store provided bad service. When I asked the manager to call me, he never called. When I called the manager, he said he would call me back and he didn't. They know how to high-pressure sell you, but they lie about the products and what they have or don't have. If you are a high-pressure, hard closer, ruthless commission salesperson, you might want to apply for a job here. Then, called the corporate office to try to get help, and just got a runaround. Went to another provider, got great service and a better deal. Now I'm happy. read more

This location is a mess. No merchandise, opens late and closes early regularly. Staff doesn't seem interested in selling much.

Absolutely, the crappiest customer service. My iPhone isn't functioning correctly. The sales guy (because he's not a service tech - such an ass!) tells me after playing with the phone that the top portion of of the screen is dead. He then tells me if there's water damage there's a charge. Apple advertises the phone as waterproof! It's time to quit Verizon. The service in my area has gone to shit. read more

Came in to drop off a trade in hour and half later i was offered home internet and told to call customer service for my trade in

I went on 5/16/22 for the first time in like 5 years to the Porter Ranch Verizon store and I was greeted by Pricilla that Identified herself as the store manager with attitude for not having an appointment ( I had no clue that they see you by appointments only) I had gone to the Verizon Store at the Northridge Mall and they were so nice but unfortunately they did not have the flip phone that my 80 years old mother uses. She really did not want to help us at 7:30 P.M or anyone because the doors were locked around 7:45 P.M and they close at 8 P.M. After walking out to calm down because she was so rude. I asked a heavy set young Hispanic man to help me because I did not want her helping me. He was just as bad and she continue to say things to me to brush me off. I really think that Pricilla and that young man are very unhappy and do not want to work. All I wanted was to buy a new phone I even offer to pay cash or add a new line and they gave me every excuse in the world not to help me. It was urgent because my mother is old. Verizon needs to send someone undercover and check how rude and unprofessional they are and see why people get so upset at the services provided at the Porter Ranch location! I give it a half star or no star at all when you can't buy a phone at a phone store!! read more

Absolutely trash service. Four days of waiting and waiting and dealing with impatient rude sales people and by the end of it they still couldn't help us. Such an uncomplicated issue has been turned into a nightmare. I usually don't even review but this was too ridiculous. read more

The people at this Verizon seem completely unhappy to be working. The kid at the front door has an attitude and doesn't know what he is doing. Won't be returning. read more

Great help and assistance came within a minute of walking into the store. 10/10 for a first time experience and a proper way to bring in a new member into Verizon. read more

I was charged and inaccurately for un rendered services and am still being charged for two services that I have not acquired or contracted to pay for due to the fact that there is no Upload speed whatsoever... again do not go to this location because they charge for services you do not recieve. read more

I was in this store on Thursday night and the employee AND Manager (Jason Hill I believe was the manager) refused to sell me a phone. I wanted to pay full retail ($650) and they said they were saving them for customers who would make them more money by signing up for a 2-year agreement, even though I've had service with Verizon for over a decade. My satisfaction made no difference to the manager, he flat out refused to sell me the phone for the price advertised in-store, online, and in print ads. If that's not false advertisement I don't know what is. I've already left formal complaints with Verizon's corporate store (of course with the address of the branch and name of the manager), I am contacting Samsung now to let them know that Verizon refuses to sell their phones because the managers are trying to reach contract quotas, and I'm looking into contact federal, state or private agencies who would care to hear about cases of false advertisement, or possible discrimination. Take your business elsewhere, Sherman Oaks has a Verizon corporate store. read more

*update from the next morning* Someone from Verizon messaged me an apology (see photo). Many times this can go a long way, but in Verizon's case, it is LAUGHABLE. A store with an average rating of 1.5 stars can't possibly have a corporate office that cares that much (as evidenced by all of the negative reviews for this AND other locations). Nice try. I am sticking to AT&T where I've been a customer for 12 years without an issue, and my boyfriend will likely switch when his contract with Verizon is over. The MANAGER on duty right now is BEN. I don't know who gave him that title or what drugs they were doing when they did, but big mistake. My boyfriend and I went in tonight at 7.35pm, which is an hour and twenty five minutes before they close. The bf was just mailed a new phone via his insurance plan through Verizon, and all he wanted from this "service location" was for them to activate it. Well, there were 4 "workers" in the store, trying to accommodate 4-5 people (including us), but apparently "We don't have enough technicians to help you". There was plenty of time before the place closed and the other people who were there were already being helped, there wasn't a wait. This guy really should've considered a career path that wasn't customer service based. He had a terrible attitude and not to mention, terrible body odor. It's kind of a slap in the face to the suit he was wearing, not to have showered. Barney Stinson would be quite insulted. The point is, avoid this place like the plague. Terrible "service", terrible "manager". Why would anyone choose verizon with so many other options these days? read more

Verizon - Their attempt at customer recovery is hilarious. - Mobile Phones Near Me - Northridge, California

Worst unprofessional attitude, they just lost the purchase of 3 jet packs and 2 iPads. Whoever opened today was one of the rudest and most unprofessional individuals I have encountered to date. Your loss, some other Verizon store got my business!!!!! read more

They say that there's no such thing as customer service any more and the employees at this Verizon store are certainly living up to that. The staff either only get paid on sales or have a very high quota. All they want to do is sell you something, anything. My phone wouldn't connect to the data network, and after troubleshooting with 2 phone reps they suggested I visit the store for a new SIM card. The guy in the store made no attempt to hide his disappointment when he realized I wasn't there to buy something - I think I actually heard the sound of his smile falling from his face and hitting the floor! The entire time he was trying all the same things the phone reps had already done to fix the phone he was giving me a sales pitch. Every "no thanks" from me was followed by another leading question about the services or devices he could give me a great deal on. At one point I even said to him "you're giving me your strongest sales lines but I'd like you to focus on fixing my phone" and he actually laughed. Undeterred, he continued trying to sell to me without missing a beat. Once he ran out of ideas to fix the phone (probably as soon as he realized I wasn't buying anything) he suggested I take it back to the Apple store to be replaced. And that's exactly what I did. I don't plan on returning to this store ever again if I can possibly avoid it. read more

Went here on a Sunday afternoon, which must have been my biggest mistake. There was a guy standing by the door, but I got no greeting. I walked around helplessly looking at the phones for 20 minutes before seeing the computer kiosks where you check in. After 15 more minutes of waiting, I left, with nary a second glance from aforementioned greeter man. ugh. I will order my phone online instead. I suggest you do the same. read more

If I could give ZERO stars I would. This place is awful. I was disappointed once before about a month prior to today's visit. Yet I still gave them another chance to redeem themselves, sadly they still suck in the customer service department. Peter acted like he didn't want my business even though I have been with Verizon for more than 8 years. This store in particular sucks. Every other Verizon I have been to has been great. For some reason everyone is in the back and everyone seems to be on their period. Avoid this store at all costs!!! Don't know why my post disappeared but I'm back suckas. Can't silence this review! read more

Terrible customer service they lie about pricing They quoted us one price we got the bill and it was triple. and when I went to the store I was told well we sold you these equipment and it's been over 14 days and we won't take it back even though they told me it was no charge for it . Awful people to deal with read more

I called the store 6 times now...still no answer. They've been open for well over an hour now. Not a single person can answer the line...This is Verizon we're talking here. Next time I'll throw a text and cross my fingers. -_- read more

You will always wait at this location. There are several people working at one time but only a few are helping customers the rest are nursing a hangover. Makes you want to change carriers. read more

I was there to make some changes to my account, and they told me that I would have to wait hour because I did not have an appointment and my issue was not related to sales. Store was empty except for one customer, and there were four associates standing around doing who know what. Until I said "Oh, then if I cancel my account then it would be a sales matter?", started complaining that one rep finally came and helped me. I used to work for verizon about 10 years ago, and I know that good customer service always leads to sales. Making you wait an hour because you are not buying anything is a terrible way to do business. read more

Never experienced such rude customer service before. Just drive a few blocks down to a different Verizon. I arrived at the store at 8:35 and I was turned down because they were going to close the store at 9........ Might I add it was relatively quiet with workers just aimlessly walking around. The workers were condescending and just plain rude. I used to love this place but either they changed managers or they just hired a bunch of unintelligent workers. read more

My wife and I are Verizon customers, and recently stopped into the Porter Ranch location. Joshua Berman assisted us above and beyond what we expected, with knowledgeable and professional advice. It's a treasure to meet a true professional who knows his business and is attentive to his customers needs. He is truly exceptional, and not everyone can be classified as such, so he deserves the necessary accolades. Sincerely, Neil and Judy read more

The people here are very rude and don't bother with customer service if you're hispanic don't even bother going They won't even bother to answer a simple question unless you wait two hours when all u needs is a simple yes or no answer As soon as I got there they told me to sign in and dirrent bother to ask y I was there But when a white guy dressed in a suit walked in the ask why he was there and proceeded to sell him several items before even bothering to ask me why I was there finally I got up and made someone answer my question read more

Dropped by to pick ip a couple things for my trip and Luis was helpful. I've been to this location three times so far and they've been helpful each time. read more

They are trained to UP SALE you. The 1st thing they do is look at your account to see it they can get you to sign a new 2 year contract and if you are able to get a new phone. It seems you have to threaten to leave before they come up with a solution to help. I did get my new phone without an extra cost or a new 2 year agreement, but I had to fight with them to get it. This happens every time I go there to get a phone replacement. read more

Worst customer service EVER! My husband and I went in to buy two products, and walked out. Only 3 sales people, all with customers, 4 people waiting. They don't acknowledge you when you walk in. We waited, walked around, still no acknowledgement. One sales person finished with his customer and left. But wait, 3 young girls walk in and get immediate acknowledgement. Sales person LEAVES his customers to sign them. We were there long before and they never even spoke to us, let alone sign us in so we received service in the order we arrived. read more

After making me wait for a good 45 minutes, I had to deal with a little twerp who was doing his best to come off as a "shark salesman." As a businessman who deals w/ successful businessmen on a daily basis, this kid was clueless and possessed no trait of a successful salesman. What does it take to get hired there these days? His futile attempt at selling me a particular phone made him belligerent. At this point, I was having a good time kicking him around and making a mental midget out of him. He still kept going on how I should buy that phone... the kid just doesn't go away. He must be used to people who play along with him, or who give into his "sales tactics." My strong suspicion is that once he realized that he had no shot at getting his way, he kept rambling on in an exercise in mental masturbation. Nothing else makes sense. I look forward to seeing him next time I'm there to kick him around some more. read more

Timothy, the Verizon Porter Ranch in-store manager, was a life and time saver in resusitating a DOA replacement I-phone 8 that had been delivered with a faulty SIM card and could not be activated. Great customer attitude, and solid technical acumen. He put a new SIM card into the phone and called Verizon for us, and within 20 minutes he was able to explain to the person on the other side of the Verizon phone...and convince her of the shipment/operation issue. Will come back to that Verizon store. read more

Be ready to wait! All in all not satisfied at all with Verizon. They lock you in to a deal which you cant go back on and they don't explain all the information. Like when I combined my Verizon /Direct TV plan...they didn't give me the deal advertised because they said I talked to the Direct TV people first and not them. Huh? I thought you both were a team on this deal. Unbelievable. The 800 numbers are the worst -no consistent information passes to the customer. read more

Moved to Verizon from Sprint. Coverage is fantastic, unfortunately I can't say the same about the reps. I added insurance on 3 lines I purchased or so I thought. My luck, my phone was stolen. The phone that was stolen didn't have insurance but the other two lines did, how strange. Trying to explain this to Verizon customer service is going no where. Verizon management says, it's my fault for not looking at my bill on a monthly basis versus having competent employees taking the order correctly. Just seems odd that I purchased insurance on 2 of 3 lines. Thanks for costing me a ton of extra money, hello to AT&T. Terrible, left it at 2 stars because I should know better than trusting them to do it correctly. read more

Vincent DeDios was my Solutions Specialist and he gave the best service I have ever received from this store. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and efficient. Verizon Wireless delivers the best quality cell service reach, which is why I have been loyal to them for over a decade. If all their reps were like Vincent, I would give the store five stars. My experience over all at every Verizon store has been a combination of great service and deals and long waits and reps that make me feel like I'm being "hustled" with complex and confusing offers. Part of this is a function itself of the wily telecommunications business as a whole and not necessarily the staff's. It is quite adept at squeezing every single penny out of consumers with confusing extra costs, rebates and "savings" in bundled deals. read more

Anthony is a horrible Floor Manager !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Warning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Horrible SERVICE I recently went to this Verizon to upgrade a phone. Prior to this visit we had upgraded 4 of our lines and have been extremely loyal to this particular location because of the great service. During this visit, we were unenthusiastically greeted by the floor "manager," Anthony who didn't act like much of a customer service manager. We were inquiring on how long the wait would be for the next representative to assist us. He told us that he couldn't tell us how long it would be. We asked how many representatives were on the floor and how many people were ahead of us for the wait. His inappropriate tone and sigh with his response showed that his patience had already worn thin. To clarify things we restated the information that was given to us. His response was "is that what I said?!?". At that point, we were so displeased with the way were being treated. We decided to leave the store. We decided to cut our ties with this store and look for another location. read more

These guys suck... I check in and tell, them I'm looking for a new ipad air. " no problem we will be with you shortly". I wait an hour and a half before they tell me they don't have any model in stock. read more

I have been a Verizon Wireless customer since 2004. I walked into the Verizon store after a full day at work to simply buy an iPhone case and inquire about my family's accessory discount. I found out that I'm not an account manager from the sales representative who was "helping" me. I proceeded to calmly brainstorm with him how I could become an account manager so that I could proceed with my case purchase. After him somewhat trying to explore options with me, I felt him get very defensive and unwilling to find a solution to this problem. So, I sat down on my new iPhone and logged into our family's my verizon account. I got to the webpage where account managers can be added and now, all I had to do was send my mother a verification code to complete the final process of adding myself to the account. But, then I realized I probably shouldn't buy a new iPhone 6 case from a store that has representatives who make me feel bad for finding a solution to a problem. So, I didn't complete the final step and I left to buy my case elsewhere. I have worked in customer service before. You do not treat customers like they are miniscule when they are willing to work with you to find a solution. On the contrary, customer service over the phone is great. This store is not an accurate representation of Verizon Wireless. Because of this experience and other negative experiences here, it is unlikely that my family and I will come back to this particular store. read more

I've been with vzw for years and been to multiple VZW stores and I've never experienced this kind of "customer service". This store has the WORST Customer service ever!! Stay away. I would give them 0 stars if possible. All their employees especially JOSH need a customer service etiquette class. read more

I was happy with Verizon until yesterday when I went to get a warranty replacement for my phone. I walked in and was greeted and a few moments later Melissa approached me. At first it felt to me like she didn't want to help me. She took my information and said I was out of warranty, I explained I bought my phone in sep maybe aug she said that it was purchased before.... why would I purchase a phone in may and not activate it until aug or sep!?!? I told her to go by activation date .... a while later after the manager got involved and they made it seem like they did me a favor!!! I appreciate what they did but it was not a favor, I should be getting my phone soon... extremely dissapointed!!! Service on the 1800 number is excellent I don't know what's going on at this store!!! read more

Went here to upgrade my phone and am disappointed. My rep Javier was nice, but did not seem to know what he was talking about. The scan system was down when I was trying to purchase the phone, so we resorted to attempting to use the computer system (aka the Verizon website). After 15 minutes, this was still not working, as there is somehow no way to change the billing address and use a different credit card for purchase, so we tried the scan system again (which now worked). We were finally able to purchase the phone, but had to do a roundabout (and incorrect) way to create a new number for the phone. Javier told me we had to create a brand new line for no charge and then I would have to call customer service on my own and deactivate the original line I no longer wanted. After chatting with Verizon customer service today, even the rep was surprised that the employee had me do this instead of changing the number on My Verizon for free. Had I not checked with customer service, I would have had to pay $20 per month for the old line. I also had to follow up on trading my old phone in, as this also was not reflected on my account (but Verizon has my old phone). I usually have a great and fast experience at Verizon stores, but this was the exception. Please provide training for your employees to enable seamless experiences in store where they do not experience hidden charges and have to do more work after visiting the store to correct the employees actions. It is a very uneasy feeling to spend a lot of money in store and not even know what other charges/etc you may experience after the fact. All of this should have been taken care of in-store, same day. read more
