Jacinda’s path to Retail career success.

By: Verizon Careers

From getting her start as a Customer Service Representative to her current role as a Consumer Sales Director, V Teamer Jacinda Jack shows us what it means to be a #VerizonRetailRockstar. 

Did you know that a role on Verizon’s Retail team can help jumpstart your career in any direction you want to go? We have V Teamers who started their careers in Retail and have gone on to make a positive impact in other parts of the company, like Human Resources and Technology. 

Other V Teamers have used their passion and expertise to become Retail leaders. Take it from Jacinda Jack who has been with the V Team for 15 years! Throughout her career, she has been given the opportunity to experience different roles, lead new teams, and grow personally and professionally as one of our great #VerizonWomenInSales. 

Jacinda jumpstarts her Retail career.

Jacinda joined Verizon’s Retail team in 2008. As a recent graduate of Georgia College & State University, she was primarily focused on looking for a job with a stable income. She had friends and family who worked at Verizon and touted it as an amazing company with great benefits, compensation, and growth opportunities. She was intrigued by their passion and decided to apply. 

Jacinda’s Verizon Retail path began as a Retail Customer Service Representative. As she progressed and excelled in this role, Jacinda was eager to take on new responsibilities by moving into different Retail roles. Her drive and dedication helped her learn and experience nearly every facet of Verizon’s Retail team, including Sales Representative, Assistant Manager, General Manager, District Manager, Government-Business Account Manager, Chief of Staff, and Consumer Sales Director. Additionally, she’s earned President’s Cabinet and Credo recognition — two prestigious awards available to top-performing V Teamers. 

“Each of these roles, teams, and geographies has progressively provided me with a deeper understanding of our organization, as well as a personal sense of pride in leading and serving amazing teams and our community,” Jacinda shared. “Intrinsically, these roles have allowed me to lean into my strengths and passions. I love what I do — leading and serving teams in their professional growth while delivering performance excellence.” 

A world of perks, benefits, and opportunities for Jacinda.  

Verizon’s benefits have been there for Jacinda throughout numerous life-changing events. Jacinda always knew she had a network of support in our V Team, no matter what: “In 2020 when I experienced the sudden passing of my mother, I was able to step away from the business utilizing time off/bereavement. Additionally, I leveraged the Employee Assistance Program as a resource in supporting my mental health in coping with this traumatic loss.” 

Our benefits were also there for Jacinda during the good times, like the birth of her son. Instead of worrying about medical expenses, Jacinda knew her growing family was all set thanks to her fantastic health insurance, which includes doctors, specialists, and prescription coverage.  

“Our competitive compensation afforded me the opportunity to purchase my first home. Plus, our 401K and Stock Together program have been great benefits in helping me build generational wealth for my family. Currently, I am utilizing our Tuition Assistance program to obtain my Master's in Human Resources Management, which I am so excited about. These are just a few ways Verizon benefits have supported me in my personal goals and needs during my time in the organization.” - Jacinda Jack, Director- Consumer Sales 

Competitive salary. Five weeks of paid time off. Up to $8K per year in tuition assistance. And much more. When you join our team, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to succeed, from day one. 

Ready to move your career forward like Jacinda? 

Jacinda’s best advice for anyone looking to join Verizon’s Retail team? “Be fearless in the pursuit of your dreams by believing in yourself and not being afraid of a challenge.” 

Jacinda remembers applying to Verizon three times before she got hired. And while some might view this negatively, she used her experience as a way to move forward and continue her personal and professional development, ultimately becoming a leader in her field. 

Way to go, Jacinda! You’re a true #VerizonRetailRockstar.

“Joining Verizon was one of the best life decisions I have made, as it has helped shape me personally and professionally. The professional experiences to be gained at Verizon are priceless. I encourage you to join Verizon and create your own dynamic career path as a V Teamer.”

Jacinda Jack, Director- Consumer Sales
