Pros

Verizon is a good place to work. They have a lot of employees and the on the job training is probably some of the best there is. Lots of knowledgable people to learn from in all facets of business and business operations. Their benefits are second to none!

Cons

Verizon since 2006 has been laying off people virtually every time payday rolls around. Some layoffs are huge and you never know if you will be the next one to go. Verizon is trying to hire younger employees so as to cut their payroll cost and hopefully infuse the company with new creative ideas. They are laying off all their older workers with the knowledge and experience that built the company. If you are over 40 you can expect you will be on the chopping block soon!

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.
