Pros

Verizon pays a very high salary compared to most other Furtune 500 Companies. I was with them for 19 years, and my pay escalated during that time form $12,500/year to $87,600. I have no college degree. The bad thing is thy are downsizing now about evry 6 months

Cons

They are downsizing now every 6 months. This includes both Associate (union) and Management. Traditional pensions are no more at Verizon.

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.
