Pros

Authority was delegated to get the job done and reasonable expenses were never questioned or denied. Typically there was mutual respect and a positive, reciprocal relationship between departments.

Cons

Reduced staff and budgets resulted in much less effective training in terms of content and delivery. Remote curriculum development made for some strange content, i.e. here it is, make it work.

Pros

money is good, but the ability to move up is limited. benefits are good, close to home. a good job for upstate ny, but it IS a call center

Cons

the union and management do not seem to have a very good working relationship. it is hard to not have any flexibility esp. when you have small children.

Pros

For one, the pay. Verizon has an excellent commission structure that rewards those who truly sell. For another, you always get to see something different. Working in retail, you get to see people from all different walks of life. Sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes its bad. But everyday is never the same as the last.

Cons

Angry customers. This is universal at all levels of retail. Inevitably you're going to have to deal with people that think you work for the seediest company in the world, and they'll do everything in their power to make your life a living hell. That's just the nature of the job. Once again, patience is a must.
