      Verizon Business isn't half bad.

      Pros

      Decent benefits. My group allows working from home. Supportive direct management. Will assist with tuition reimbursement.

      Cons

      Direct managers have large impact. I am fortunate to work in a group that supports a healthy work/life balance and allows us to work from home occasionally. That can change very quickly between groups under different directors. Company has a hard time "pushing back" on larger customers. Most career opportunties seem to be in DC and NYC/NJ area. Comapny sends out plently of communications, to the point where it just becomes noise. Morale varies, and you must remember this is old MCI/Worldcom.

      Don't work at Verizon as a manager, it's just not worth it.

      Pros

      Pay is decent, and that's about it. Fairly flexible to get time off quickly.

      Cons

      Managers have extremely stressful and unrealistic goals and objectives. Long hours also and being constantly tied to the phone make the situation worse. No department has matching objectives so it is impossible to get anything done. Everyone washes hands of issues. Senior management while claim to be working on bureaucracy only make things worse and keep piling work on with no end in site.

      Pros

      For me - my work location, my manager and colleagues. We really work as a team and rely on each other. I work hard and my manager and director appreciate my efforts.

      Cons

      I feel Verizon has lost focus on the customer. With outsourcing jobs and laying off US employees to make the company lean and streamlined, they are not seeing what it is doing to our image as a first class telecommunications company.
