Pros

Good medical benefits. Opportunities to advance throughout the company. (although most times it is a demotion in pay and an increase in responsibility.)

Cons

NO work/life balance. If you work for sales in Verizon, be prepared to shove useless/unwanted product down customer's throats. Even if you are a person with ethics/morals, the companies brainwashed management will stalk you until you force their initiative on unwilling/unsuspecting customers. The company values/credo are not at all what they portray to be. The commission compensation is TERRIBLE and continues to get worse. The company sets unrealistic goals for expected monthly quotas. Following layoffs, the company asks surviving employees to pick up the slack without any compensation increase. The company does not put forth any effort to adapt to the changing landscape of retail sales. This position is part of a dying breed where compensation is decreasing, responsibilities are increasing and overall tension is rising .

Pros

Fantastic benefits (health, vision, dental, tuition reimbursement) and good PTO. Fun co-workers. Competitive pay. Managers buy lunch on launch days and holidays which is a perk. You can learn a lot if you invest yourself.

Cons

Constant reorganization within the company and budget cuts make you question your job security. The obsessed need to be "more than a wireless carrier" for the investors has you selling things that customers don't want or need, and a new off-the-wall product gets added every month to your list of 12 things to sell to every person who walks in the door. Every interaction is micromanaged. If you're looking to advance your career you're up against hundreds of people going for one position, and oftentimes it's about who you know or number pushing, not your actual work performance. No results are celebrated because it's always about the next goal.

Pros

401k matching ,tuition reimbursement, great medical and dental insurance. You can definitely grow knowing the right people at the right time. Lots of opportunities .

Cons

No matter how many targets you exceed it won't be enough. Commission payout gets lower as quotas get higher. There is no time to take advantage of all of the training and developmental tools available because sverything is sell sell sell. Sales reps do everything in store including tech support, customer service, bill analysis, inventory, operations and even cleaning. It's burn out with no compliments or rewards. Management isn't always supportive and sometimes less knowledgeable then plenty of the reps. You have to be self motivated and get to know lots of the important people. So much talent sitting and waiting for opportunities that never become available.
