Verizon reviews

Management is horrible . Extremely bias and if they don't like you (for whatever reason) they will literally try to find reasons to write you up and/or fire you. Most of them are very miserable. They don't like it when you are happy .They constantly monitor certain people and try to get people wrote up on a regular basis. They are extremely scary people

Unfortunately money doesn't mean happiness, the big name of the company is smoking mirrors to me and if you are willing to give your life away for good money and benefits and keep the "suck it up" mentality then come here because it's totally miserable. I can only speak for the finance team in HQ, maybe marketing and sales located in Basking Ridge because we work for them, but that's a general statement and can be inaccurate (definitely HQ finance is accurate). I can't speak for any other groups or departments. Zero flexibility to work from home, very bureaucratic, if you are not in certain rank or band you can't even reply to an email for a director or executive because your rank does not qualify you to do so. Very high maintenance and no matter how hard you work it's just never enough. They are going through several transformations and that means many people will be laid off by Nov 2017. The new open work environment with no cubes and work (sit) on any desk (first come first serve) is super noisy, totally ugly and cheap looking (yes the super creative designed they are so proud of) the new floor design actually looks like a warehouse in a department store with cafeteria tables "to work" and there are other desks in an area where you sit and might elbow someone because you are way too close to each other and with zero privacy by the way. There are lockers to put your personal items. Hope this explains how much the company tries their best to make employees happy. I just keep wondering why the executives didn't lose their offices and moved into the open space like everyone else has been. No assigned seating unless you "mark territory". Finance has not gone thru this move yet but it's coming along with the transformation (lay offs). Again the smoking mirrors company is giving free coffee and hot drinks on machines placed in rest areas, you can see that no even free coffee pays for the misery that many employees mop around with. I wish I could ask everyone how miserable or happy they feel, I can tell people are not happy when they throw doors on other people's faces and behave rude, even frequent accidents in the parking lot, I don't like many people here but I give everyone a pass because this place can make anyone insane. The parking situation sucks, if you are not in the Basking Ridge building by 8:45 am then good luck to you and get the shuttle that the company provides (add 25 minutes to get to your desk). The company is VERY old school trying to become a tech company and bringing millennials and multicultural (employees). I'm a millennial and also a minority and can't understand how this company that talks so much about brining sales from those channels and markets does not start with their own employees. Employees look for flexibility, work smart instead hard and still complete deliverables on time and accurate. That's why they keep the incompetent employees and the good skilled employees leave. Also, I highly doubt the quality of managers these executives promote. Basically management is horrible all the way from the top. This company is VERY top down, My manager and his manager totally suck. Its funny how they love the Senior Manager title and the pay (I assume), but they don't like to deal with the actual responsibility of being a manager and caring for an employee and stand by an employee. At the end of the day....why am I still here? I'm about to leave because I can't stand this disgusting place and management. I say NO to be miserable for great money and I won't suck it up!
