Pros

Money. VZW pays an extremely good paycheck and has a phenomenal benefits package.

Cons

Ridiculous meeting and training schedule. Every time you turn around there's another meeting to attend or another training to take. Often times trainings are just rehashing something we were trained on before. Are they serious? The meetings are out of hand as well. Friday is our busiest day of the week, yet we have to be there every day at 7am even if we are scheduled to close that day thus making it a 14 hour day! EVERY WEEK!

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.
