Pros

When I started at Verizon as a solutions specialist it was great pay and a fun workplace. I was able to live comfortably and achieve my financial goals. I thought there was a lot of opportunity and I could grow my career by being the best. At least that’s what I was told for years.

Cons

I found it it’s actually very hard to move up if your not chosen/ friends with the general managers, I stayed for the pay I figured well if I can’t move up I can still work hard and be happy with my commission. Recently they changed the commission structure to team commission, it’s a lot less. After all these years I’m pretty demotivated. Can’t maximize my checks anymore and couldn’t move up because I wasn’t in the circle.

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.
