Pros

- Good benefits and salary if you manage to negotiate good package going in - Laid back culture, if you like slow-paced environments

Cons

- Very limited opportunities to grow internally - Too many restructuring and layoffs (twice a year and sometimes more) - The leadership team seems clueless and lacks vision, strategy, and clear direction - Stock options are offered only to directors (and sometimes managers) - Some executives are jerks and bluntly threaten to cut heads on conference calls and meetings - Doesn't foster open-door policy where you can reach out and talk to directors and executives - There are always rumors going around about downsizing and those rumors end up being true most of the time. Bad management decisions and tough competition is driving Verizon Enterprise Services into the ground

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.
