      Pros

      None at the moment now. Definately not money.

      Cons

      Rah rah environment more focused on recognition than money. Hired all younger people happy to make peanuts. Money decreased every year

      Wants to act hip & fun, but actually run like a small government

      Pros

      Good severance package. Good people working there in spite of how they are treated. Could maybe treated like gold if you're part of wireless.

      Cons

      Being sent to do someone else's job when union goes on strike. Seems like there are people who's job it is just to make yours harder. Calling yourself Verizon 2.0 and actually changing are different things. New CEO was at Ericsson when they were part of a bribery scandal in EMEA.

      Just Good Enough

      Tech expert
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay is competitive early on with quite good benefits. Ability to work from home is awesome, VZW has not off-shored its call centers. Benefits of a monolithic corporation which must avoid lawsuits at all costs mean racism, sexism, and general bigotry are absolutely not tolerated. VZW is quite ethical in its practices. Ultimately the benefits of working at VZW have been just good enough to keep me there.

      Cons

      You are micromanaged to hit unrealistic metrics. Your pay and shift options are based on a bell curve which inherently means 15% of employees MUST fail to meet targets... it's a quite insidious way to push performance without parallel employee compensation. Monolithic corporation downside is you will simply be a number which generates numbers. Pay stagnates with tenure. Some instability with centers closing, layoffs, and more reliance on cheaper (and worse) independently contracted call centers. The job can cause very high stress and anxiety levels. Pretty significant attrition.
