      demotivated employees, uninspiring work, constant layoff due to declining business. Bureaucratic executives and managers

      Pros

      benefits, people stay in their silos. Takes a very very long time to get a small scale project done. old technology in use.

      Cons

      Company values are non-existent... Very old school mentality. Full of Indians executives with big egos, they promise a lot to higher ups and thus upper, middle management and down ends up doing all work, long hours and on weekends. Weekend work is assumed as part of work, no questions asked, just like that weekend is assigned and you are assumed to be working. Lot of meetings and inter department fights, nothing gets achieved in end. Same cycle repeats over years and years.

      Consistent lower pay with added pressure to perform (sales).

      Pros

      You get to work around the neatest, newest cellular technology. Good 401k benefits, health and education benefits. At least some consistent pay (because it's a huge corporation – you don't have to worry about bounced checks).

      Cons

      It used to be a truly great place to work at. Over the years they made it harder for sales reps to make commission. They foster an unhealthy, competitive environment between co-workers. Employees are rewarded for acting unethical if it's done in a way that can look unintentional (oops, did I add VZ Navigator to that customer's account without explaining anything to them?!). Their sales focus is constantly changing – some months they want you to focus on adding new lines, others selling accessories. The problem isn't the changing focus, but the way they make employees go about it. The "train" us to listen to the customer and sell them what they need (so on the FACE it seems legit), but they reprimand the employees for not hitting certain metrics, thus the EFFECT is that Verizon forces its sales reps to force products onto customers that they don't need or want and often end up returning. This is a constant battle that is never resolved and always taking place.
