      Great place to work if you do not plan having a family.

      Pros

      The discounted phone service for yourself and your family. The benefits are good, you learn a lot and it gives you great experience for future sales positions. Also, you get free phone service for yourself.

      Cons

      The health benefits are great if you are married, if you are not married they will not cover your spouse if they are not of the same sex. Also, if you are not a person that sucks up you will not get promoted, they do not promote off performance and the training can become redundant.

      Operates in reaction mode only, antagonistic toward employees

      Pros

      Better than industry median rate of pay and benefits. Has great depth in technical know-how but underutilizes it.

      Cons

      Verizon is no Bell Atlantic, from which it was formed. The close knit community that was fostered at Bell Atlantic was looked down upon by Verizon. Driven my metrics that do not lead to anything tangible. Generate numbers and data just for the sake of management reviews.

      It's a large company - your management chain has a big impact on team morale and your professional growth.

      Pros

      * The benefits - medical, dental, vision, short term incentive, 401k match, personal days off. Telecommuting may be an option. * Interaction with colleagues from different continents. * Possibility to change jobs without changing employer. * Bright coworkers * Exposure to different operating systems & software.

      Cons

      * Company size can make communication difficult. * Danger of burnout. The teams are lightly staffed, the development cycles are frequent and aggressive, budgets are tight. As a result, you may find your self working weekends, holidays, and vacations. * First level managers are not very effective (promoted into the position but not well trained for it). They do not follow company policy of coaching and encouraging professional development of those who report to them. Their is focus meeting scheduled milestones.
