Pros

Flexible hours, good pay, and benefits. We have a very nice gym on site, and that's all I can think of.

Cons

The work environment right now is horrible. People who get laid off think of it as winning the lottery. The culture of innovation is gone. It's whole place is marking, and sales driven.

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.

Pros

Verizon is working to expand their managed portfolio at a much faster rate than competitors. Their automation tools are far superior as well.

Cons

There was no clear direction as to where the company is headed technologically or financially. The company continuously reorganizes which brings great uncertainty. It's restructured groups in the Philippines is not making much of an impact as they continue to cut. The company is now cutting into its money making arms which could potentially bring future success to its knees. Sr. Management is trying to formulate a plan but so far, the plan is simply to cut more people. The company lacks focus on developing quality, standardized, and marketable solutions because they're trying to impact the bottom line but in so doing, they've begun to undermine the entire process. I predict a brain-drain on the company in the upcoming months and years.
