Pros

-A lot of opportunities during the early years of a career -A company you can be proud to say you work for -Tuition reimbursement/In house training is exceptional

Cons

Unfortunately in IT, this becomes a dead end job. Not a lot of movement has been happening the last few years. Unless you love what you are doing, you can experience burnout and frustration. Also, too many layoffs. Verizon is at the point where there is no more 'dead wood' to get rid of. Everyone worries about their job when a RIF is pending since anyone could be next.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. They try to give you raises even in a tough economy. You write your own reviews which is a good chance to remind yourself of all that you have done over the past year.

Cons

The management is totally disconnected from what is really going on. They do not listen to suggestions from SME's. Projects work in a vacuum, never asking for input from users so the result is not what is really needed. I think HR is actually a software package. Also, the programs used for projects, etc. are constantly changing. As soon as you get used to one, they change it and thne there is a long learning curve which wastes time and money.
