Pros

Authority was delegated to get the job done and reasonable expenses were never questioned or denied. Typically there was mutual respect and a positive, reciprocal relationship between departments.

Cons

Reduced staff and budgets resulted in much less effective training in terms of content and delivery. Remote curriculum development made for some strange content, i.e. here it is, make it work.

Pros

For one, the pay. Verizon has an excellent commission structure that rewards those who truly sell. For another, you always get to see something different. Working in retail, you get to see people from all different walks of life. Sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes its bad. But everyday is never the same as the last.

Cons

Angry customers. This is universal at all levels of retail. Inevitably you're going to have to deal with people that think you work for the seediest company in the world, and they'll do everything in their power to make your life a living hell. That's just the nature of the job. Once again, patience is a must.

Pros

Pay is good Benefits are even better For the most part, Senior Management recognizes that the front line is the bread and butter

Cons

Work/Life Balance The only thing that is consistent is change Senior Management will make unannounced visits only to tell you what you are doing wrong
