Pros

Exposed to a vast number of products and technologies...as well as the ability to establish relationships with Verizon partners to further that exposure. A great number of opportunities around the country if there are no hiring freezes. . Compensation is fair compared to the rest of the telecom / service provider market

Cons

Very little in the way of new hire training. Lots of job justification amongst management...consistent reorganization and staff reductions. Only two weeks vacation in the first year, and those have to be accrued. Not an environement that foster employeee development. Very political atmosphere as there are a number of employees that have been around for many years and are looking to protect their job security.

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.
