Pros

Verizon is a large company with good benefits - Health, vision, dental, 401K matching and a decent vacation and personal day policy. With many positions, Verizon allows telecommuting. Verizon has a strong sense of values and ethics. The staff are very dedicated to customer service and satisfaction and are willing to help each other. Verizon understands the value of Project Management to customer service and satisfaction.

Cons

Verizon, as with other companies during this recession, continues to cut staff, leaving the remaining staff left to complete more work in little time. The work to complete can be overwhelming.

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.
