Pros

Verizon Wireless is a very good company to work for. They offer very competitive starting salaries and they offer Tuition assistance. If you manage to successful network the higher management staff there are endless opportunities for advancement within the company. If you like enjoy technology and innovation then Verizon Wireless has that to offer. Also the benefits with Verizon are amazing. A lot of companies are unable to offer the type of benefits that Verizon Wireless have to offer. Verizon does try there best to take care of there New Hires. So if your looking for a Career rather than a job then Verizon Wireless is a good place to start.

Cons

Verizon Wireless is a very good company to work for, but it is also a very stressful company to work for. Once you move past your new hire stages senior management becomes very inconsiderate. Verizon wants it's employee's to be all about Verizon Wireless. If your very family oriented person then it may be difficult to maintain and healthy personal life outside Verizon Wireless. The hours are very demanding depending on your field and the company expects you to meet those demands. Verizon Wireless has many different opportunities and fields of work but you advancement in the company depends on who you know and not what you know.

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.
