That sounds terrible. You probably just got caught in the crossfires of the pressures on the company. The company is trying its best to push forward and I guess they feel they need to sacrifice certain means in their service to achieve their goal.

It is unfortunate that you had to be one of the customers who fell victim to it, but I hope that when your Verizon contract runs out, you find that US Cellular may be back to where it belongs: caring about the customers and their needs. 😢

So sorry to hear this. The sad part about it; You're right. My company has lost the focus which made it what it is today. Now I work for an Agent in the retail channel, and I can tell you that should you ever happen back across US Cellular down the road, Agents are who you want to deal with. Corporate/Retail stores don't seem to care anymore, they have long waits, the employee's are burned out, and their payrates are getting slashed.

The Agent that I work for is amazing, and we continue to provide the best customer experience possible every day. I didn't buy into it until I saw it firsthand.

Best of luck to you and yours, enjoy Verizon. We hope to see you again someday!

Third, the belief plans did not have the growth expected and instead have had quarterly losses 7 quarters in a row. Lastly, the sales reps handle everything such as sending phones out for repair, handling phone problems, and technical issues. Of course they want to get you out the door as quickly as possible. If you're having an is...
