Pros

Verizon does offer good health benefits and shot-term disability benefits. The pay is comparable to other telecommunication companies. The company does accent education.

Cons

Employees are not recognized for a job well done. There is much favoritism within the organization. Upper management is a good boys club in the sense that any constructive criticism coming from employees is discounted and not addressed. Management does not communicate with employees.

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.
