Pros

Verizon provides best trainings to its employees across the industry. They have culture and values and very diversified workforce. Good company to work for.

Cons

Good enough to work but not to stay there forever. Kind of work is very bad, new technologies are seldom used. Exposure to business is lesser in IT department.

Great pay and benefits, but not much else.

Pros

The pay is top of the industry (in a union job) and the benefits are outstanding. There are lots of locations to work at thru the bidding process.

Cons

Adversarial relationship between management and union leads to petty conflicts. Company is top heavy with management so bad ideas get pushed forward in the name of "accomplishments" Employees have very little feedback about how to do their jobs. In the end, customer service suffers.

Pros

Loved the customer service part - helping people with their wants and needs, establishing a strong connection with customers, and seeing the repeat business from your hard work.

Cons

We were treated like we were stupid, as if we didn't understand the ulterior motives of upper management. Superiors intentionally created a hostile work environment to get everyone to quit so that they wouldn't have to fire them and pay unemployment.
