Pros

The Benefits, especially the 401(K). Another pro is the free, covered parking. That's about it.

Cons

There are truly so many things wrong with this company that I'm not even sure where to begin. First off, there are many, many, many overworked individuals with little or no guidance. This is related to the limited head count that exists and the fact that priorities seem to change on a daily basis due. This is due to the constant, numerous "escalations" submitted (this company obviously doesn't realize that this word has a negative connotation) or "who has the most pull in the company" and screams the loudest. I've actually witnessed individuals in Upper Management blow their top in a meeting towards attendees because they didn't agree with the attendee's opinion or there was a chance the manager wouldn't receive something they requested by a certain date. There's no need to be a passive, aggressive tyrant so take your meds or take up Yoga. There is just complete dysfunction, friction, and backstabbing throughout this entire company, from the top down. There's no organization or consistent processes being utilized. Just total chaos on a daily basis that makes your mind numb by Wednesday (sometimes Tuesday) of every week. You're not allowed to work from home, ever. You're expected to work many hours and weekends, especially if you're in IT. My advice, stay very, very far away from this company. I realize that they may dangle a very enticing carrot in front of you but I promise that it's not worth it and you'll be miserable here. I expect a defensive response to this posting from a member of Verizon Telematics management because this company cannot even get people to apply for the constant, open positions that are posted everywhere. Guess the word is out...this place is Hell.

Pros

There is a base salary and a commission. The benefits are good. It's a set Monday through Friday schedule, mostly. If you don't have a career path or an advanced education this job has more to offer than many jobs out there.

Cons

Constant high pressure mentality. Expect to be talked down to a lot. Don't plan on being treated like a person. You are only as good as your current month. If you were number one last month, but your numbers are not what they want this month you will get publically called on it. There is lots of public shaming in front of the entire team. The promotions are heavily based on who your friends are, and they are rarely based on actual performance. Higher education will not help you advance up the ladder. Although you have a set Monday through Friday schedule, you are required to hit your daily call quota before you leave. It's common for employees to put in extra time to meet the quota, and you may get contacted on weekends or afterhours to respond to leads. There is also a lot of lead stealing and reassignment of good leads to friends of the managers. It is not uncommon for an employee to work a lead or get results with a lead only to have that lead transferred to a manger's friend. Inbound hot leads are often assigned to friends of management as well.
