Pros

after working with the other major carriers, I believe Verizon is the superior employer. Benefits, compensation, job stability, and opportunity for advancement are the major advantages. People now see cell phones as more of a necessity, thus verizon is not suffering much in the current economic climate. verizon heavily promotes minorities and others who may be descriminated against ,sometimes even though they are clearly not the top candidate, which obviously may be a pro or con for you. I have not gone up for a promotion, so I have nothing personally to complain about in this area, though. Overall, I am very pleased with my job.

Cons

retail hours, working with the public can be frustrating

Pros

The benefits are what keeps most people here even though they are miserable.The pay was great until they changed the commission structure, now it is hard to even hit 100% and rare to ever go over it anymore. I keep making less each year even after the 2-3% raise I earn each year. Yet people that are hired from outside the company are starting off making more than people that have been with the company for more than 5 years. It does not make any sense. There is no type of senority just who likes who and not how hard you work. There are clicks even in upper management. This is not a company for you if you do not know how to kiss and bull your way to the top.

Cons

Senior management promotes brown nosers and not people that truly work their tails off for the company. employees that are loyal just get craped on.

Pros

Verizon truly rewards people who deliver on high value projects. It gives you an opportunity to manage and directa wide ranging of projects with both scope and scale.

Cons

Typical big corporation mentality in certain parts. Promotions are hard to come by. Constant reduction in force is a demotivator
