Device Hacked again no help from Verizon Tech coach

This is my third phone device purchase from a Verizon victra store. My original phone (LGV20) was hacked and the hackers rooted my phone via remotely without my knowledge. Now it seems they have gotten to this device (Google Pixel 3 xL) as well. This phone is only 3 weeks old, purchased Nov 9, 2018 and I have been in contact with Tech Team this entire time. I don't know if I need a supervisor or if I need to write a formal email but all the information I was given by Tech coach previously was misguided.

Each time I contacted Tech Coach they told me my phone was fine, when indeed Malware was installed. They also told me my phone wasn't rooted and it was rooted without my knowledge by hackers. They would check the Verizon Security App, which was a mirror apk app and they didn't recognize it wasn't even one of their own apps! I even asked "Is it phone rooted?" And thet tech said definitely not. He was wrong and they have been installing and updating apps on my one without my knowledge this whole time.

I've exhausted my options with Tech Coach and now I need to know what my other options are. My accounts have been secured, before I purchased the phone. So I know the hacking wasn't done dur through unauthorized account access.

Going in with the knowledge when buying this phone device, I told the salesperson about the hacking incident and he said Verizon will replace the phone if it's ever hacked if I signed up for the Total Protection service, which I did. Now my phone has been hacked, and I don't know what my options are. I have done everything on my end in the recent months, securing all my accounts, changed Banks, passwords, new cards, everything has been secured before phone purchase.

I look forward to this being resolved. As for the reason for the multiple device purchases was due to the horrendous customer service I received at first store. The manager made me cry, it was terrible. They manager even called and harassed me several times, because he made an error in the store, which I have documentation in voicemails. The second Victra Store customer service was perfect, even though I drove 15 miles or of the way just so I would not have to enter the other store.

Overall I am beyond fustrated with the Verizon experience and I am so disappointed after being a customer for 15+ years.

What are my options? If you can check my account notes all my discrepancies have been noted and it's history goes 2 months back. I look forward to this being resolved.
