      Very tough place to work and be treated fairly.

      Pros

      Pay decent for retail.Decent benefits. Pretty good training programs.

      Cons

      Favoritism, extreme pressure. Management weak. Retail managers clueless. You could never do enough for this company and the people crushing the numbers are the biggest liars and cheaters in the stores. They talk all day about having integrity but don't practice what they preach. You're trained to mislead customers with clever appoaches like bundling. Horrible work, life mix. Since you're always under pressure to hit unrealistic quotas you practically have to live at a store.

      Pros

      Pay and willingness to try new approaches to help employee.s

      Cons

      Management was overly rigid in some areas. Health benefits costs are getting out-of-proportion. Also, equity ownership is being taken over by, you guessed it, management only.

      VZW - Getting too big too fast and not able to move quickly

      Pros

      Work/Life balance is very good. Lots of sick, personal, holiday and vacation days, raises, bonuses, profit sharing

      Cons

      Career progression is non existent. Company follows a "union style" employment mentality, keeping dead wood long past the time to get rid of them. Raises are generally granted based on being alive, no such thing as a true merit increase. Same goes for bonuses. Performance reviews are a waste of time, never looked at. No recognition for performance that exceeds expectations. Company is filled with upper management that is clueless to technology, especially in IT dept.
