Pros

Depending on where you live, Verizon is a phenomenal company to work for. If you take advantage of all the perks and benefits, you can move up quickly. It's just like any business, you have to be dedicated to being great before you are noticed.

Cons

Retail hours suck but are a necessary evil. They build your foundation on the company and makes you a great check with a time sacrifice. Bosses make the difference in the job and some places have terrible leadership and others have amazing leadership. Don't judge the company as an entity based on the few leaders that shouldn't be around.

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.
