Pros
Good pay, unlimited sick time, 17 days vacation/PTO to start, 10%/12%/20% bonus based on pay band Bonus % went UP now that it's combined with Verizon Wireless (they did not like that). Some jobs allow work from home.
Cons
Not sure where to start here. Verizon is dying a slow painful death. Telecom is struggling with it's landlines, Business can't make any money, and wireless is starting to feel the pain. Obamacare is the only reason Business is breaking even. Your compensation is entirely based upon your manager and a flawed system. Mangers will give .5% raises while giving others 5% raises. Your bonus is based ENTIRELY on what your manager thinks of you. Example: You make 100k, you get UP to a 10% bonus, company votes to fund 80% (now 8% bonus), your boss gives you 75% of that......you get the picture. HR gives raise money to mangers even if many people are at max salary cap, allowing others to get large raises. Good if your manager likes you. Minorities or women will always be picked first, regardless of qualifications. Indians only hire Indians, etc. Training and upward mobility is once again limited by your immediate manager. If you have one that won't rock the boat, good luck. Quarterly "RIFs" : reduction in force. This hits Verizon Telecom and Business every quarter, not sure if it has happened at wireless yet.
