Svantaggi
When I was hired as a college graduate three years ago into the RLDP (Retail Leadership Development Program), the program was presented to me as the fast track to a store management position for degreed professionals into the expanding Verizon Wireless retail store network. The business landscape has really changed since then, and VZW is now reducing their retail store footprint, and replacing company stores with franchise stores (AKA "Premium Authorized Retailers"). Most of the people at VZW, including ASM's, SM's and even DM's, are not college graduates, and they do not have any vested interest in supporting the RLDP program. If you are a college graduate who is being offered an RLDP position, I would urge you to seriously reconsider, as you do not need a 4 year degree to work here. In this environment, your degree will be more of a liability than an asset.
