Pros

Overall good pay and benefits, good opportunities for add'l training. Large company so some opporturnities for lateral moves within wireline and wireless (but very limited between the two).

Cons

Can be very political, despite the outward communications to customers and marketplace, VZ is still essentially 3 totally distinct and seperate companies (i.e. Telecom, Business and Wireless) and there is minimal cohesiveness or integrated consolidated offers to the marketplace. Morale is an issue after several years of 15K+ layoffs annually, almost all on the wireline side. Minimal opportunities for upward advancement, it's more a matter of survival.

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.
