Pros

The pay and benefits kept me working at Verizon Business. Training courses were available online but since you work 50 - 60+ hours a week, when do you have time to take them?

Cons

Too many long hours and weekend work. Little to no recognition for the job you do. Very little senior management support when things are going badly. Absolutely no training available. Learn as you go but make sure the schedule doesn't slip.

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
