Pros

The company pays its employees well for a call center job and has great benefits such as health, eye, and dental insurance. Also tuition reimbursement is a plus. The Bellevue call center is large and has its own cafe and gym (costs extra though). Keeping up with the required numbers is not that hard if you put effort into it.

Cons

Verizon wireless is VERY strict on attendance. People get let go more often for failing to meet attendance requirements rather than failing to meet goals. Collections is not for everyone. It requires a great deal of patience, professionalism, and integrity.

Pros

Benefits are above average for retail workers. Corporate policies are always changing but nonetheless in place for a professional atmosphere. The company spends much financial resources to each employee to get them trained and developed professionally on a regular basis. There is a sense of company pride and a feeling of working with an industry leader at any level of employment. The company looks to promote from within and also respects seniority. Very competitive and strives for excellence.

Cons

You may or may not get recognized for your hard work depending on the location or management team that you work with. Its a month by month business no matter how good or bad your performance is. Your weekly or monthly work schedule can drastically change due to staffing shortages or holidays. The more you excel at your position the more they will expect from you, always demanding more performance results and nothing less. Anything that is a numerically measurable metric (goal or quota) they will hold you accountable and delegate down to you. Its tough to get hired by Verizon Wireless, and easy to be let go if you don't establish yourself quickly as an asset (treat this company as just another job and it will hurt your reputation).
