Pros

Good benefits and compensation. Directors and above have much better compensation. A well know company name to be put on your resume.

Cons

Work you to death, can't leave work without permission from supervisor. Promotion not based on true performance, but based on your relationship with your boss. Not much learning opportunities. A very political old fashion telecom company and too many layers of management.

Pros

great pay, benefits are excellent. Great place to work, management a little unqualified but overall good experience with the company

Cons

the hours and the high quotas are a bit much especially in a recession. New products are needed and additional training would also help.

Pros

Verizon has a great product with people that are committed to succeeding. Verizon has an exellent salary range and their helth benefits are unmatch compared to other companies.

Cons

Managers are all promoted from lower levels and are never trained to manage associates. Communication between departments is very bad, especially for a communications company. Most metrics that are pushed really do not help the customers because upper manager is more concerned about making the number and not what the number means.
