Pros

after working with the other major carriers, I believe Verizon is the superior employer. Benefits, compensation, job stability, and opportunity for advancement are the major advantages. People now see cell phones as more of a necessity, thus verizon is not suffering much in the current economic climate. verizon heavily promotes minorities and others who may be descriminated against ,sometimes even though they are clearly not the top candidate, which obviously may be a pro or con for you. I have not gone up for a promotion, so I have nothing personally to complain about in this area, though. Overall, I am very pleased with my job.

Cons

retail hours, working with the public can be frustrating

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.
