Pros

great pay great benefits available overtime great work atmoshpere the network newest technology safe workplace always busy economy proff business great commision payout ESN days

Cons

Verizon is a great place to work and you can really make some good money there. The downside is that it is very hard to balance work and family. Due to the high demand of the business you may work 60+hrs a week and are forced to work on your day off or work 12-14hr days and only 1 weekend off per mon and you can hang up getting off on any holidays,but you will have a nice paycheck. I never see my husband or kids but I do make enough to were my husband can stay home with kids and I can buy them whatever they want or need.

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.
