Pros

Good pay, good company, great benefits, room for advancement (prior to the economy challenges of today)

Cons

retail hours (horrible & changing), management style is poor & problems are never addressed head on, selling with integrity is supposed to be the core of who VZW is but the demands that are pressured on the sales reps makes it almost impossible to sell with integrity & meet company objectives & goals. so in order to sell with integrity, you will not most likely hit your numbers to get paid. frustrating!!!

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.
