Pros

Benefits are fantastic - hands down. Health benefits are great, dental and eye care is OK. 401k match, bonus is great. I created a lot of great friendships. The gym is great!

Cons

Absolutely no work life balance. Felt unappreciated for the work I did. Successes of the company during quarterly meetings were highlighted but there was always a "but" - but we can do better (decrease churn, increase revenue, etc.). Not always feeling that great pat on the back. Lots of re-organization going on where a lot of knowledge and talent are leaving the company but the company is only looking at the bottom line - let go of the higher salaried employees and hire the younger employee with lower salary. There was always a conflict between Verizon and Verizon Wireless on work flexibility. Verizon side offered employees to work remote, Verizon Wireless did not. It's a communication company!!!! People getting promoted who completely didn't have qualifications except for being an idiot.

Pros

The company's benefits package is better than many other employers in the region. Not much more than that.

Cons

Politics and personal demographics trumps professionalism at this company. The culture is very toxic. They had a great business plan which generated tremendous cash flows, but the company leadership in intent on abandoning that business.

Pros

Verizon provides a great salary and benefits package. There is also room for mobility if that is something you are interested in.

Cons

There are expectations to be available 24/7 in most field and center manager positions, which does not allow for a great work/life balance.
