Pros

Good pay and medical benefits

Cons

Vacation benefit is not as good as it used to be. It takes 5 years to get to 3 weeks vacation now. IT is all power point presentations and politics. IT leaders will destroy anyone in IT that attempts to produce anything. They prefer to pay vendors for everything or let the business do it themselves until they can find a vendor to take it over. If you want to do IT work at Verizon you will do better to get a technology job in one of the business groups like marketing or finance. Just google "hans vestberg embezzlement" in order to learn about company leadership

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.
