Pros

Great benefits and opportunity to learn telecom industry. Even going through many evolutions of the company through mergers and acquisitions, there seemed to be a place for me for many years. The company is solid and offers some excellent products and services that make it easy to get excited about. I like being proud of my employer and always felt like I could get behind the marketing intiatives I supported.

Cons

The normal big corporate bureaucracy type stuff. There are many cumbersome processes that I'm sure could be streamlined, but so many higher level managers and executives have been around a long time and might be a little resistant to change.

Pros

The benefits started day one, the tutition reimbusment funds are awesome. Plus, Verizon will pay for your education directly to the college before your classes start, which means no money out of your pocket.

Cons

The politics made it difficult to get promoted. Open positions are listed but ususally the actual position has already been given to someone. Management will still go through the motions of interviewing people who do not stand a chance of getting the job.
