Pros

Professional environment Verizon Business Product Portfolio is massive Solutions focus to high end enterprise customers Sales Engineers are real professionals Solution consultants as over-lay are a valuable sales support Sales Management Team is solid, real professional Good base pay, excellent commission plan Fantastic Benefits ( even on the non-Union Side of the company) 401k is the best !

Cons

Lousy Culture--long term employees are miserable Unrealistic Quotas Poor implementation of solutions Installation in-region by Union = Nightmare! could be done in half the time, but labor agreement is a hinderance Service management is a mess--due to outsourcing to Phillipines. Billing is a mess--resoltion also outsourced to Phillipines No commitment by management to fix customer problems--just want new revenue Poor Integration of Teremark New Sr. leadership (as of 2012) is too transactional focused. Former model was solution focused. Poor compensation for Professional Services ( Terremark services) On going layoffs are a standard way of running the business. Who gets chosen is as much a mystery as who doesn't.

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.
