Pros

Benefits/401K good growth opport. if you work hard and get the proper skill sets. verizon pays for your education if you are "smart enough" to use. You don't sit around and wait for a promotion. You go and get it yourself! learn your job, demonstrate your competencies, get a good review and look to advance yourself. make it a point to understand the big picture of this company...ie. how the entire company fits together, how each part supports the rest etc. Too many folks have worked here in a position for 10-20 years and have no clue what goes on in other parts of the business.

Cons

Benefits have been paired down, however not for upper management. What is good for the goose should be good for the gander too.

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.
