Pros

Pay and benefits are good.

Cons

Since Verizon 2.0 has been announced, there is next to no communication from leadership. They've laid off a bunch of people and just expect who's left to pick up the slack. If you're salaried, expect to work 55+ hours a week. There are processes for everything to properly funnel work, but executives just go around it. Morale is at an all-time low and executives don't seem to care. Verizon will continue to lose top talent as more and more people reach their breaking point.

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.
