Pros

The benefits are excellent. They have medical, dental, vision, 401k, profit sharing life insurance and more. The best part is it is 100% paid for by Verizon (and your family is included for free too). The starting pay is great and you get a raise every 6 months!

Cons

The management was inconsistent. She was very unprofessional. Dealing with seniority could be a pain sometime when on the lower rung of the ladder. The job was mindless. Every 28 seconds there is a new call, dealing with a new persons problems.

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.
