      Pros

      Tuition reimbursement Medical Plans are fair (though not as good as competitors)

      Cons

      Always looking to cut commissions and find ways to reduce your pay. They merged with Alltel who treated their employees like people. From the CEO on down you felt part of a family, and were rewarded for excelling. Verizon instead caps top performers and goes further to find ways to take away commissions if you do too well. Make any sense? Everything they have in place is for you to be average. --- Doesn't matter how well you do overall. They micro-manage to the day and anything not good in one day it is 'discussed' with you. Why have negative communication if overall you excel in that area? Everyone is entitled to a bad day here or there. What matters is the overall monthly performance.

      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.
