Pros

I enjoyed working for Verizon. The pay was great, flexible hours, loved the employee discount. We had a beautiful call center that we worked out of, fitness center, cafeteria, the works. The supervisors were always there to help and coach you along. The training provided was phenomenal! There was definitely opportunity for advancement, but I was in college so this was just a temporary thing for me.

Cons

The type of work I did was basically collections so you can imagine the amount of times I was screamed at on a daily basis. As nice as the facilities were, I hated working in a cubicle farm.
