      Pros

      Very good pay and benefits. Verizon delivers a comprehensive leadership training program for new and existing leaders at all levels. Internal education is very diverse and well done. Time off policies and work-life balance issues are easily worked out ans supported, as well as internal employee assistance with a variety of personal experiences, i.e. adoption, military service, tuition assistance.

      Cons

      Company values espouse value of customers and employees, however, employees are treated like disposable assets. Constant reorganizations ( 3 this year!) shows a lack of planning and leadership at all levels, Director and above. Since all "new" leaders at Verizon are required to attend the Leadership University, existing leaders should also be required to attend refresher courses. That might give them a fresh perspective on appropriate behavior and appreciation for their resources. Employees are not made to feel valuable nor "safe" fro more than 6 months at a time. This is very poor management and detrimental to performance.
