Pros

The total compensation at Verizon exceeds what is provided for similar positions at comparable companies within the telecommunications industry. This includes the salary and the benefits provided which include medical, dental, vision, employee resource programs, counseling, adoption assistance, training, tuition reimbursement, and others.

Cons

The environment within Verizon is very discouraging and employee moral is very low due to the constant never ending downsizing environment. Every month, reductions are made within the management workforce. Often, your performance does not factor into being selected for job elimination. Often, being the "odd man out" within the team will result in your being selected for having your position eliminated.

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.
