Pros

It's a job, benefits were okay

Cons

The most disorganized company I've ever worked for. Terrible documentation for their Fleet software and awful employee training. Much of the documentation was deprecated or completely missing any information on key pieces of the Fleet software... even brand new software features had no support documentation provided. Software experts and "trainers" openly admitted no documentation (or training of any kind) has ever been given for the most complicated parts of the software (including API integration features), and employees are expected to just "figure it out". One manager suggested we should be using our unpaid time at home to figure out how the software works. Questions to SME's are often ridiculed publicly if you dare ask a question they consider stupid. Much of the original support staff that knew how to use the software was laid off when they closed the Austin Texas branch. After that, employees were expected to just figure things out. Premiere customer playbooks are so badly organized and inconsistent between companies, that reps on the Premier team (myself included) ignored them whenever possible. Massive changes are made to mission critical software (such as Salesforce) without ANY thought as to how our processes/customers/workflows/data would be affected. They updated Salesforce in December of 2018 without anyone testing the update. They broke so many processes and corrupted so much data, that 9 months later they were still desperately trying to dig themselves out of what managers called "the black hole" of untouched customer issues (trouble cases). Often changes are made to important processes without ever communicating those changes to the tech support teams in ANY WAY (ordering hardware, QA monitoring, and various internal processes). Almost no thought seems to be put into communicating important announcements: hurting customers and employee morale. At a town hall, a CEO openly described my division's processes as so bad they were "held together by spit and bubble gum."

Pros

Consistent great pay and bonuses!

Cons

It's a shame how Verizon took over Telogis and then dismantled it and closed the Austin office location which housed a ton of experienced employees and left it in the hands of brand new ones with no experience or idea how complicated the products are or how to support/fix them. I feel for the customers who are left to deal with the aftermath of the Austin office closure and the growing frustrations they have with the products and services they are (or not) receiving. The last 6-8 months prior to the office closure were the most stressful I've ever experienced BECAUSE of the product issues and the upset customers we were creating with no upper management involvement in fixing it.

Worst Company I've Ever Worked For

Pros

Decent benefits from the Verizon parent company

Cons

Top 3 Cons: 1) The majority of senior leadership has complete and total disregard for employees, organizational culture, and retention. They care only about profit, and do not grasp the very clear concept that happy/productive employees usually mean higher profits. 2) The parent company ("Big Verizon") is a red-tape, bureaucratic disaster ..... and unfortunately, dictates everything Verizon Connect does ... so don't be fooled in thinking that you're working for a modern, nimble tech company. Quite the opposite. 3) You might get lucky based on which office/location you're in, but generally the organizational culture is non existent. Virtually zero programs/resources for employees to have fun at work, connect with one another, and get involved with things outside their immediate role, and even though employees ask for these time and time again (and present ideas), senior leadership is not supportive.

Verizon Connect Response

It appears that you’ve come to have some very challenging and negative views about Verizon Connect and how you experience life at work. I don’t want to downplay or oversimply your feelings or perspective, but instead acknowledge them and help guide you to where you might experience some hope. Senior leadership takes very seriously the feedback that is received on the eNPS quarterly pulse surveys and I encourage, if you aren’t seeing positive changes in your area with your direct leaders, that you would take your concerns a step farther. Verizon Connect is a rapidly growing and changing organization, working to build our own culture and identity, and appreciates your feedback on how we can continue to do that in ways that are meaningful for all employees. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
