Pros

Annual bonus/performance share as a percentage of salary can be counted on at year end. It is a better bonus than I ever got with EDS.

Cons

Not enough personnel. They 'acquired' my team from EDS where we had 12 people supporting 3 applications. The three of us that stayed with the project and converted to Verizon were assured that replacements would be hired for those that did not transition. Only two temporary contractors were hired and one is gone. We now have 3 people trying to do the same job as the original 12. We cannot hire any replacements, so a 50 hour work week is the norm, with a growing backlog of work. To top it off insufficient funds were allocated to the budget for the people assigned (much less the number of people actually needed!), so important work is going undone because there is 'no budget'.

Pros

Job flexibility - that's it

Cons

Anonymous cog in the big corporate machine, perpetually being downsized and nickel and dimed on pay while exec award themselves big raises. Squeezed out by offshoring for same reason - if you ain't Indian and prepared to work for peanuts then you're not going anywhere. Where the hell do they think the next generation of senior technical direction is going to come from ?

Pros

Great job wonderful people, great benifits and pay. 100% tuition reimbursment. The comoany is a stable comoany and I hope to retire form it. More then 70% of the workers have twenty or more years. Verizon is the way America used to be. Good pay for an honest days work. I work with wondefull people every day

Cons

none great company, unless there is a strike. I am little woried about the cable companies taking away our business, but I believe managment has a plan for this. I just hope the plan includes me. I have at least ten years to go before I can retire.
