Pros

Verizon offers a lot of extra perks besides a nice paycheck. Tuition reimbursement, paid time off, matching 401K, etc. It is a great place to learn about the telecommunications industry, to grow professionally and personally, and is very invested in the development of its employees.

Cons

There is a lot of emphais on performance so if you don't do well with constant feedback and competition then Verizon is not the place for you. The only other thing that would be a Con is the office politics. It isn't near as bad as most companies, but there are definitely a lot of self promoting in order to get recognized and move up in certain departments.

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.
