Pros

If you are looking for a job, this one is better than most. They have an open door transparency policy that allows for better communication between all employees regardless of position or pay rate. Their health insurance is decent to a certain extent and so are their other benefits.

Cons

Their in-house interview process for applying to advancing positions and job openings is questionable at best, especially if you are already pegged or marginalized as someone who will not be allowed to advance anywhere in the company. This comes from 12 years of work experience in the company. Their FMLA/Short Term Disability is managed by Sedgwick, which is a complete nightmare to work with in any capacity due to the unrealistic, blanket policies that Verizon endorses. If you have to go out on medical leave, it becomes a mentally, psychologically, and emotionally abusive situation that Verizon turns a blind eye to while using Sedgwick as their irrational and obtuse pitbull.

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.
