Pros

Verizon compensates their employees very well. Generous vacation time, fantastic 401k match.

Cons

Constant worry about being laid off. Work life balance is talked about, but in reality the expectation is working 50+ hours. In Operations, you will be burdened with so many conference calls, you are left with little time to get actual work completed, however the expectation is you somehow complete it. That usually leads to multitasking and constant stress. Verizon also loves their google slides and presentations. It is frightening to think about how much time and money they company wastes on having us create slides for literally everything that no one pays attention to. Also, be prepared for office politics, lane grabbing, and everyone out to take credit for work to prove their worth to be saved for the annual layoffs.

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.
