Pros

Decent pay and benefits including tuition assistance

Cons

Terrible management. People at Verizon worry more about how they will look in the eyes of upper management then if the product is actually profitable. This can go on while you are a cash cow, but cannot successfully go on forever. Without Verizon Wireless, the remainder of the business would be an absolute failure. The ROI for the billions spent is laughable. If you are going to sell your soul for a decent paycheck and work here, work in wireless. The telecomm side is an absolute joke.

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
