Pros

The compensation is good. There is still a pension plan for associates with free medical insurance. Not so for management however. Verizon will pay for your college education.

Cons

The union has sold out the associates, Upper management is full of cronyism and nepotism and treat lower management simply as pawns to further their own agendas and careers. The constant downsizing has created a fearful atmosphere and there is constant backstabbing and brown nosing. The needs of the customer are getting totally lost in the numbers game. They pretend to care about customer service, but internal roadblocks constantly prevent employees from actually doing their job.

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.
