Pros

Compensation in hourly wage and salary for competent employees is near the very top in retail sales in the US. Benefits package is standard yet very employee-friendly in that retirement deductions are company-matched up to 6% total salary. Health benefits are also standard but through PPO, not HMO.

Cons

Schedule regularity varies dramatically. Although retail hours in my region are 8am-9pm most of the time, you may close one day, then open the next. If good biorhythm is a factor in your deciding where to work, Verizon Wireless retail may not be for you.

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.
