Pros

Benefits; 401k still being matched; excellent for union employees; FiOS sales starting to take off. FiOS had a rocky start, with installation problems, customer support problems, and billing problems. These are all improving now, and once FiOS is installed, most customers love it. If these areas continue to improve, the prospects for the company look good.

Cons

The company stopped contributing to the management pension plan; lots of downsizing going on in management; hard to say whether the huge risk of converting copper lines to fiber will really pay off in the end. Due to the size of the 'reductions in force' (downsizing) in the last few years, most management employees are doing the jobs of 3 or 4 people and struggling to keep up.

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.
