Great pay and benefits but it's a virtual pressure cooker in which you pop or you don't. - Retail Sales Representative Verizon Employee Review

Pros

They have great pay and benefits. If you are at the top. Congrats! You will be making very good money in a short time. That was not a sarcastic statement. If you make it at VZW you will be set. Their managers make killer money.

Cons

However, the management is under enormous pressure to hit very challenging goals, and as they say, $H!t roles down hill. But more than likely you will simply give your youth to the company, while you can take this pressure cooker style management, until you have a nervous breakdown and have to stay because the benefits are the only thing that can keep you in the expensive anti-anxiety/depression medication that you have begun popping like candy. Otherwise, its great!

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.
