Pros

You will be compensated well. I made 33K in year 1, 37K in year 2, and 41K in year3, and was set for 45K for the last. You will also gain valuable skills / experience, they have lots of training during different weeks. There is a lot of time off (2 weeks paid, and 1 week of Unpaid from the beginning). When hired, they provide 7 weeks of paid training. They also reimburse your tuition for approved course/ degrees. I know a lot of people that got their A+, Comptia, certifications and went for MBAs, all paid for by Verizon. They have excellent 401K matching, and during my time there, would match up to 6% of your contributions.

Cons

Stats. You are measured for survey scores, number of calls handled, number of device fixes / warranties issued, and the 3 day repeat (when people call back). You live and die by the stats- if you are good, you will have no problem. If you aren't, you will struggle.

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.
