Pros

Verizon offers great salaries and benefits for there hourly employees. Management on the other hand actually makes less than the associates they manage. If you are looking to make good money in a management position, then Verizon is not for you. If you are interested in being a technician, they Verizon is the best. They offer great training and excellent pay and benefits.

Cons

Promoting from associate level to management is near impossible. Outside interviewees have a better chance of hiring into management. Associates are looked down upon no matter how hard they work and how much they try to better themselves.

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.
