Pros

Benefits are good. Chances to work on new technologies Discounts on Verizon products and services

Cons

Layoffs every 6 months on wireline side. You can set your watch to it! Management always says it is a last resort but it always happens. work-life balance is awful You are nothing but a number on the corporate budget spreadsheet. When your number comes up, you are walked out. Telecommuting cut back significantly

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.
