Pros

Local to home residence and Ashburn is a nice community to live. Verizon offers a reasonable education package and has online training available for all employees.

Cons

Management fails to ask "why" and fix processess to allow employees to be successful. Most management has no real experience in the fields they are responsible for. Benefits are below industry standards. The company culture and especially that of executive managment is still the old telephone company culture.

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.
