Pros

Better than industry median rate of pay and benefits. Has great depth in technical know-how but underutilizes it.

Cons

Verizon is no Bell Atlantic, from which it was formed. The close knit community that was fostered at Bell Atlantic was looked down upon by Verizon. Driven my metrics that do not lead to anything tangible. Generate numbers and data just for the sake of management reviews.

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.
