There is no work life balance at Verizon. They expect you to work day and night. For a Fortune 500 company, there benefits are TERRIBLE. They only offer 10% off daycare for working parents and 2 weeks vacation a year. That is a slap in the face considering the amount of time employees sacrifice for this place. If you have a family don't work here you will never see them again. There is no opportunity here because you manager does not have time to prepare you for the next level since there is so much work to be done.
