Pros

Their pay is fairly competitive, and benefits are decent.

Cons

This company is extremely micromanaged. They restructure consistently to 'streamline' and become more 'efficient' but VZW honestly just tries to cut every corner for employees and customers to increase profits and dividend payout for stockholders - bottom line. They will terminate you for almost any insignificant reason, even an employee of 9 years - they won't care. If it saves them money or its more profitable for them somehow, they'll do it, regardless of your track or history with the company. This company always contradicts what they say. They will communicate one thing one month, and contradict it the next. There are millions of memos, failed projects to retail... There's a never ending list of problems the way they internally operate. They will shift employees around ALL the time, and almost always with very short notice. Previously have a 5 min drive to work? We're moving you 35 minutes away now - and I quote: "business needs exceed your personal needs." This is the type of job that is almost like a rollercoaster... Hold-on as long as possible - but, more than likely, you'll end-up terminated... Probably because you were getting paid too much and there are newer lower paid employees that can replace you. Trust me, they'll find a reason to terminate you. This company could REALLY use a union. They'll work you to death.

Pros

Global Business, opportunity abroad, financial stability

Cons

Limited opportunity outside of the US. Very poor sales commission plan. This company will feel nothing for finding ways to cheat staff out of commission.

Pros

The benefits package & 401k match was AWESOME!! The amount of money you could make was hands down was great!!

Cons

The hours and the fact that around the holidays you see less and less of your family because your working 6 day work weeks and 50+ hours per week. The balance between family life and work life was very unequal.
