      Pros

      Good pay, excellent benefits, financially stable company with a solid product line and high quality service, excellent training programs, solid company reputation.

      Cons

      Out of touch with customers, poor leadership--VZW has started operating under a knee-jerk reaction/panic attack mentality, zero work/life balance. Inconsistent and unorganized HR.

      Pros

      The compensation is good. There is still a pension plan for associates with free medical insurance. Not so for management however. Verizon will pay for your college education.

      Cons

      The union has sold out the associates, Upper management is full of cronyism and nepotism and treat lower management simply as pawns to further their own agendas and careers. The constant downsizing has created a fearful atmosphere and there is constant backstabbing and brown nosing. The needs of the customer are getting totally lost in the numbers game. They pretend to care about customer service, but internal roadblocks constantly prevent employees from actually doing their job.

      Pros

      If you are a woman and having babies to milk the Health/Pregnancy benefits. If you are all about being a salesman, the company rewards sales heavily. Such as commissions and compensation for sales, even in other channels besides 'sales'. Industry is monopolized, and the company does not need to share much of the wealth beyond protecting itself against the ever growing threat of Unionization.

      Cons

      Very short-term company with a very short-term strategy of making as much cash as possible in the shortest timeframe. No real long term strategy. Leadership not knowledgeable of technology or direction things will go beyond 5 years. Very short-sighted business model and management of employees. Very afraid of unions, giving short-term benefits vs. any real long term stability.
