Pros

Verizon is ok, the pay was great as a manager.

Cons

They make horrible business decisions and you are just a cog in a wheel and you feel like they just don't care. Quota is unattainable and upper management is always breathing down your neck and micro managing. They keep you on check up calls for hours on end and keep you off the floor and then yell at you when you aren't on the floor. They kept letting people go and kept giving us managers more and more jobs to do during out shift, this made it nearly impossible to be in the floor and help the reps with their sales. When you actually try to do your job they tell you aren't doing it right. They try to find any way to get rid of you if you don't conform to their ways.

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.
