Pros

Great benefits, 401k, tuition assistance (paid up front, not reimbursement), free access to safari books and tutor.com for yourself and kids. Discounts with many major companies. 50% off of wireless bill., discounts on devices and accessories, contests to win free devices and accessories. Great pay. ( I havent finished my degree yet but I am making more then several of my friends who have 4 year degrees from major Universities,

Cons

Very difficult to maintain work/life balance. unreasonable expectations. ( required quota of 200+ NEW lines per month in a town of about 6000 people. You must do some work outside of work (getting referrels, actively getting leads, networking) in order to make your quota each month. ( This might be different in larger locations) Very Difficult to change job positions. IE. I am more technically minded (finishing Engineering degree) but I would be unable to transfer if I didnt hit my quota for one month. ( I would be put on a warning and it wouldnt fall off for 3 months. If I didnt hit it again within those 3 months, I would be bumped up to the next level [written warning] and it wouldnt fall off for 6 months.

Pros

Great pay and experience. One of the best companies when it comes to training employees from entry to executive. Always leading company in the technology

Cons

Cell phone business has become very saturated. Verizon is hands down best company but customers mostly only care about $$.
