Was a great place to work through the end of 2008, then a reorg changed it forever
Pros
Prior to 2009, we had a great environment. I had the best SE Manager I've ever worked for, the branch morale was good, sales reps were making their numbers, and Verizon Business was a great place to work. Benefits were and continue to be great.
Cons
After the end of 2008, a reorg changed my entire organization. My SE Director was let go, but luckily my SE Manager was kept in place. However, after he worked for the new SE DIrector for a few weeks he moved to a sales job because the new SED was such militaristic ass. After that change, our whole department was in disarray, people were miserable, and our morale and productivity went to zero despite working more hours. In addition, the entire Dallas sales branch sank into low numbers largely because their quotas were inflated to unachievable levels. This place is currently one of the most unpleasant places to work that I've ever been part of due to all the RIFs and unhappy employees. My former manager and a couple of my peers have all moved on to a competitor and are very happy; now I'm trying to join them.
