      Challenging times ahead for Telecom

      Senior marketing manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Verizon offers a lot of breadth and opportunity to do many different things without having to seek external employment.

      Cons

      Upper Management has increased greatly over the last several years, there are now more layers of executive management within the company than there are staff contributors. A very top-heavy business organization.

      Big Ship, Great People, Good Compensation

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      As with any job Verizon can be a great place, depending on your team/boss. My boss was the most down to earth person I have ever met. He got me any resource I needed to get the job done and I always felt that I could call on him if I were in a pinch. The company itself offers great benefits (especially if you are a non-smoker). I think I paid $100 a year for health insurance (one step down from a PPO). Plus the bonus amounts to around 14% of your salary if you company objectives are met. I received 90% of what the goal in that regard. Pay is good. One thing I can say are the people at Verizon are some of the nicest and congenial people I have ever worked for.

      Cons

      Big Ship, Changes Direction Very Slowly. Having said that it took me two weeks to get a computer (and with Windows 2000 too). Get an email address took even longer. Everything is computer automated (benefits, email address, etc.), however there aren't clear instructions on where to go to get these items. Also on the first day of work when I asked an admin. assistant for Fantastic to clean off my dusty desk, she asked me what budget I needed to use as it wasn't coming out of hers (again your results may vary). Also because of it being such a big org it is hard to get anything done that is out of scope, even if direly needed. My building (your results may vary) was nothing fancy and a little demotivating. There was no hot water and the building was in poor shape carried over from one of the bells.

      Verizon.... a Good place to work?

      Senior technical support
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Verizon is a great place to work, technically speaking. In just the sheer size of the network, equipment, and internal users to support, will present more opportunities to learn than most will see in a lifetime. If you like continous change, this is the place for you.

      Cons

      Verizon expects a "professional" work week - that is somewhere between 40 and 60 hours, depending on the needs of the business. On the positive side, taking time off during the work day to attend to family and personal business is not a problem. As long as the needs of the business are met first.
