Pros

Great work performance is recognized and rewarded. Management cares and works just as hard as their direct reports. Health benefits are EXCELLENT. Regular performance reviews/raises help the employee know where they stand. Good bonus programs that reward great performance. Verizon also has a very good 401k program. They match dollar for dollar up to 6%. In addition, depending on the Verizon annual financial numbers, they kick in up to an additional 3%. Overall, very satisfying place to work, you feel like you make a difference.

Cons

Sometimes Verizon being too big hurts. Also, there are issues between the different business units (Wireless/Business/Telco).

Pros

Compensation good, especially for the undereducated. Sales Reps are very well-respected and well-compensated. Team spirit is often very high.

Cons

Terrible, TERRIBLE, lack of co-ordination between the krytocrats and the ground-level employees. Initial training is very good, but afterwards Senior Management's lack of respect for their employees as assets kicks in and expectations are never communicated well down the chain of command.
