      Pros

      This is a great comapany to work for with excellent benefits. There is room for advancement. You manage your own time.

      Cons

      Well since it is a sales job you know all the pressure and stress that goes along with this job. There are a few negative people but you do your job and you're fine.

      Used to be a stable company but no one is impervious to this economy

      Pros

      Verizon has good health and other benefits due to it's size. You can move up within the company with the right education and training. They still provide reimbursement for classes.

      Cons

      Verizon continues to tell Wall Street that they will grow every quarter. That's kind of impossible so each quarter we miss our numbers and "cost cutting" has to happen. That means thousands lose their jobs because we're basically lying about possible sales. Who do you know that doesn't have a cell phone yet? Yes we make some money on ringtones, accessories. Most people are cutting back at home - no need for phone line, less TV channels, etc. And then there is the business sector - when companies go out of business we lose money. No way to save or winback that customer with the economy the way it is. So where is this growth we're predicting coming from? Cannabalizing - more wireless sales link to lost landlines; more FiOS sales usually link to lower High Speed Internet (HSI) sales; more FiOS TV means less DirecTV, etc.

      Pros

      Verizon used to be a fairly stable place to work, with pretty good benefits.. Key word- used to be....it has changed a lot in recent years.

      Cons

      We are constantly facing cuts/lay offs. For the past couple of years, management has had to endure 3 rounds of lay offs annually. Job stability is non existant at this point.
