Pros

Verizon has Good; pay, incentives, benefits, advancement, training and HAD a good working environment. Great yearly bonus based on personal and company bonus, 401K match up to 6% and tuition reimbursement up to $8,000 a semester.

Cons

Over complicated system, tools and way of doing business. Treat you like a number and put you out of work. Close corporate call centers to employee more out source in country and out of the USA. Just another LARGE American corporation FAR to BIG and only concerned with profit margins NOT people. Sure they will offer a severance, relocation and job replacement BUT why not just KEEP the jobs and make it work?

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.
