      Mean Girls - Anonymous employee Verizon Employee Review

      Pros

      It's a fantastic place to work - if you're part of the In Crowd. There are plenty of opportunities for advancement - if you're the right demographic. You can be a lifetime employee - if you kiss the right rings. You don't need to be competent - if they like you.

      Cons

      If you're not part of the favored groups ("diverse" candidates, workers they like, etc.) then you might as well leave. No one will miss you when you're gone. What you know is a much lesser priority than who you know and who has a favorable opinion of you. Being good at your job has nothing to do with whether you will be successful or advance in the company. Remember the cliques in high school? Working there is like that.

      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.
