Pros

Work balance is nice, especially with options to telecommute. Wonderful colleagues who become life long friends. Vacation time & flex time are good. Training and tuition assistance are available. There are many great benefits at Verizon unfortunately it is over shadowed by the constant reminder of the next workforce reduction.

Cons

Job stability is not based on performance in IT organization. One year it's 110% bonus and the very NEXT year it's massive workforce reduction; would you run your household that way too? I have been at the company for 14 years and have experienced a layoff announcement every year, sometimes even 2+ times a year. There is no team consistency as working relationships are shortened due to contracts expiring and layoffs.

Pros

I work with and for some really great people. Annual bonus provided based on performance.

Cons

If you are new to the company the HR process is labyrinthine. Training is minimal for support staff. Admin staff are in a lower band and therefore are given a lower percentage of yearly bonus.
