Pros

very strong company with lots of opportunity for advancement if you are willing to relocate, very good sales and product knowledge training, excellent pay for those who are good at sales and are driven, I felt accomplished as an employee and I feel that I had some quality leaders to learn from and mimic for success

Cons

no work/life balance, not good if have kids, family, or want a life outside of VZW. I did not feel appreciated for my hard work and extra hours put in. Great was never good enough even when goals were succeeded. Changes to commission stucture made a huge cut to pay.

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.
