Pros

Verizon offers good salaries and a multitude of benefits in healthcare and discounts for personal things. The company supports good work/ life balance providing flexible work arrangements where possible.

Cons

The company functions in a highly competitive industry with little growth. As a result layoffs are a frequent occurrence although it varies by organization. This necessary to reduce expense. Telecommunications services is a capital intensive industry due to the constant need to upgrade the infrastructure to provide the latest services and remain competitive.

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.
