I liked the place. Still do, even after a 2009 layoff. - Director Verizon Employee Review

Pros

There was a very good, very comprehensive benefits package that was competitive with most large corporations. As good a relocation program as could ever be wanted. Nice coworkers.

Cons

Declining industry. Difficult to imagine large numbers of people coming to the company in the future. There have been large lay-offs in the last few years and they will continue for the foreseeable future.

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.
