Pros

Verizon is working to expand their managed portfolio at a much faster rate than competitors. Their automation tools are far superior as well.

Cons

There was no clear direction as to where the company is headed technologically or financially. The company continuously reorganizes which brings great uncertainty. It's restructured groups in the Philippines is not making much of an impact as they continue to cut. The company is now cutting into its money making arms which could potentially bring future success to its knees. Sr. Management is trying to formulate a plan but so far, the plan is simply to cut more people. The company lacks focus on developing quality, standardized, and marketable solutions because they're trying to impact the bottom line but in so doing, they've begun to undermine the entire process. I predict a brain-drain on the company in the upcoming months and years.

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.
