Pros

You cannot get fired period. The pay Is ok, It was better. It is a good place to get sales experience and then go elsewhere. Easy to become a store manager.

Cons

Job Security for anyone, even the worst of the worst. You now need a college degree to do something anyone can do. The way they restructured commission is awful. I knew sales reps in regular stores making 70+ a year. Now your'e lucky to make 50. Verizon likes to measure with broken rulers, and beat you up for things way beyond anyones control. Numbers and abillities don't matter as much as knowing someone who'll pull strings. Its very cliqueish(?).

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.
