Pros

Verizon is one of the best companies to work for as far as culture, benefits, and overall satisfaction. The company works diligently to incorporate good diversity practices and has a pay structure that, based on market standards, is decent.

Cons

Verizon has a tendency to make employee impacting moves on short notice. Closing centers is one such move. Every other year or so Verizon moves one of its centers by either closing or consolidating. This significantly impacts employees, especially those who are high performers and have a lot of tenure.

Pros

Pay is decent, most of the co-workers can be really cool

Cons

Too many to list but I will try. First off, they act like they want you to do the right thing for the customer but in reality, they want you to sell them things they don't need. They are constantly taking advantage of people's ignorance of the market, mostly the elderly. And management doesn't want you to help those who are ignorant with their devices...they want you to push them home and have them figure it out on their own. They also have a thing where they'll add the insurance on an ignorant customer's plan and make it sound like it's part of the deal. Which is totally illegal. Management told us to "manipulate the customer" so that they buy more. I get that it's a commission job and maybe it's just not for me, but it seems very awful to be doing these things. Maybe I just work in a bad store, but it is a terrible working environment.
