      Pros

      For the area that I live in, the work is an excellent compensation for customer service. The bonuses are top-notch, and the benefits are excellent.

      Cons

      The opportunities for career advancement are non-existent. Unless you have ambitions of becoming a management drone, this is not the career for you. Anyone with technical aptitude should look elsewhere for a permanent career. Moving from one department to another is nearly impossible. There is also the feeling that the customer support teams are "second class citizens." The intra-company praise is doled out to the sales teams on a constant basis, while the CS aspects are largely ignored, unless something goes wrong.

      Pros

      Less work pressure compared to other service companies. No bench. Everyone is on a project. Flexible work timings. Dress Code for namesake. Lots of holidays. Online resources for training. Free Evening Snacks.

      Cons

      Mediocre training to freshers. Just for namesake. Learning is only on the job. Less domain knowledge. Though Verizon is a telecommunication company, most of the work done is just end user level application maintenance. Not core telecom work involving protocols, etc. Very little process knowledge. Though the company claims to be a CMMI Level 5 organization, processes are not followed in many projects. Almost Zero onsite opportunities. Single digit Salary hike on promotion. Constant security crap. 1.) Random bag checks at entrance. 2.) Random check for camera mobile even at the floor entrance. 3.) No access even to the source repository. We send e-mails around to merge our source code changes.
