Pros

Great benifits, decent pay, nice work facilities

Cons

Endless layoffs! Leadership is two faced on topic, gives false hopes about layoffs, claiming if company is doing good and the numbers are met that the layoffs will end, then turn around and let go of 10% across the board even when numbers are met, and continue outsource efforts to India & Philippines. Layoffs have seriously impacted stability, most of the company is struggling to survive with limited staff.

Pros

Good benefits. Decent salary. Great people.

Cons

Non stop staff reductions have created extremely low morale. Everyone knows they happen each quarter and production comes to a halt prior to and immediately afterward. Verizon loves remote management which does not work. How can you effectively manage people when travel cuts do not allow you to visit them more than once every few years! Constant reorganizations waste of money and shows how truly lost management is. Management focused on empire building. Conference call culture is a large waste of time because everyone is multi tasking. Two hour conference calls with about 15 minutes of true work! It's a truly big company that moves at the pace of a snail in a business that moves much more quickly. No room for advancement. No guidance from management. Huge brain drain due to staff reductions of entire departments that support products. Wireless is king at Verizon and all others are expendable and the blink of an eye.

Pros

Pay and benefits are great. Educational assistance is also a major plus.

Cons

Constant layoffs through off shoring are having a devastating effect on employee morale with no end to layoffs seen. No matter how hard you work and improve your skills, you are never recognized for your accomplishments. In fact, management tends to look for your mistakes and not what you are doing correctly. Working environment is dismal and uninspiring. Unless your in dire need of a job, I do not recommend Verizon as a place to work.
