Pros

Very good benefits are offered. Decent commission opportunities-not as good as in the past. They offer a very good product to sell.

Cons

No work/personal life balance. Retail hours are long everyday of the week. Special friends are given favors for promotions. Questionable employee relationships were ignored.

Pros

Good competitive salaries and a decent benefits package. There are some interesting and challenging positions within Verizon. You will meet some great people.

Cons

.Supervising managers are often lacking appropriate leadership skills. Nepotism is a standard business practice within Verizon, and employees often become discouraged and negative when observing these practices.

Pros

Union Protected for associates. Reasonably good salary.

Cons

No incentive to go into management. Verizon has been laying off quietly for years. The current economy has only made it worse. You cannot go into management without fear of layoff. There can be 2 or 3 waves of layoffs per year.
