Pros

Great place to start to work since the name and brand recognition is widely known throughout the world. Work is relatively easy and lots of benefits given to employees such as great health package and trainings funds and exams.

Cons

Sadly the compensation for Verizon got way behind the times. At the time that I started in here, compensation is above its competitors, now after 4 y ears, its compensation was left behind in the times. Another problem with Verizon is managements complete utter disregard for the voice of its lower employees. Most of the time, a decision WILL be made without checking the opinions of the people involved. Another thing is the constant suck-up mentality with the upper management will get you anywhere while a straight arrow will leave you stagnant in your career advancement.

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
