Depends on who you work for

Pros

Extremely competitive pay and benefits; 401K match and profit sharing programs are outstanding. If you're working for one of the many talented managers who work here, and you're not in Retail or Care, you will likely get decent flexibility and career development as well.

Cons

If you can't say no, this place will work you until you burn out and quit. If you're not mobile, depending on where you sit, this may be a career killer. Some leaders are total a-holes but if they get results, senior leadership seems to look the other way about their less than professional treatment of subordinates.

Loyalty Doesn't Matter

Pros

Great benefits and competitive salary. High-energy, fast-paced, performance-based incentives. Leader in wireless technology.

Cons

Contributions of non-sales employees often go unrecognized. Tenure and loyalty don't matter when it comes to workforce reductions. Lack of work-life balance.

Pros

Verizon offers a competitive salary, medical benefits, phone discount, and decent vacation policy. Most individuals are good to work with.

Cons

You work non-stop, though I guess this is department depending. Nights, weekends, holidays, vacations...doesn't matter. You are always on call. There's very little work/life balance, and really no way to just shut down. And while the culture was previously strong, you can see that starting to fracture with the recent mass layoffs that were announced. As typically happens with this type of re-org, there's a lot of confusion and dysfunction.
