Pros

The benefits are great. So are the opportunities for advancement as well as the opportunities for city to city transfers.

Cons

It is very political. You have to know someone to make it through all the "channels" for promotions. It's definitely who not what you know.

Pros

Verizon offers a lot of extra perks besides a nice paycheck. Tuition reimbursement, paid time off, matching 401K, etc. It is a great place to learn about the telecommunications industry, to grow professionally and personally, and is very invested in the development of its employees.

Cons

There is a lot of emphais on performance so if you don't do well with constant feedback and competition then Verizon is not the place for you. The only other thing that would be a Con is the office politics. It isn't near as bad as most companies, but there are definitely a lot of self promoting in order to get recognized and move up in certain departments.
