Pros

Huge company. Good benefits. If you want to hunker down in a massive company, and get by on a half-hearted effort, you can do it here. Lots of corporate robots just hunkered down counting the days to retirement. If you are into that kind of thing, this place is great.

Cons

Leadership has never been a strong point at Verizon. The latest leadership shakeup just made things a whole lot worse. Especially on the Wireline (Telco & Business) side. Its a disaster. The top leaders are absolutely empty suits who are getting nothing done. The whole company is literally grinding to a standstill while they fail to communicate anything about direction or vision. The latest acquisition? We all read about it in the news. Great employees are tired of it and leaving. The robots who like hiding in the cubes are the ones who are staying.

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.
