Pros

Good place for young people to work. The money is sufficient and the benefits are good. The commision structure is easy to understand and promotes a quality customer experience.

Cons

However, the ablitly for a employee to advance within is limited because of the succession pyramid. For each job promo that opens there are about 50-100 canidates applying internally as well as those applying externally. VZW preaches work life balance but could not be further from the truth.

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.
