Pros

Competetive compensation. Being part of the leading wave in mobile technology. Company invests on your development with great sales training and tuition reinbursment. Great benefits and plenty of incentives.

Cons

Very time demanding. You'll probably find yourself mentaly working on your days off. Work/life balance tend to lean towards work more often than not. Verizon is a wealthy company due to its agressive sales campaing. Seems like every quarter they're raising the bar and it feels like they have a "what have you done for me lately" stand. Wireless Services are not free for employees. They simply provide a 50% discount and employees have contracts like customers do. If you are starting in retail its hard to get out.

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.
