Pros
The pay for a retail employee is very good. Adjustments to salary were made periodically to keep Verizon competative.
Cons
Very sales driven environment that demands your full attention. Interpretation of company's rules do not take circumstance into consideration often favoring the safety of the corporation not the employee. You are expendable and a commodity. Promotions can be a very political issue and not necessarily due to you based on performance. Very few opportunities for a retail employee to move to a corporate job so succession is limited. You are given a cell phone, a blackberry, a laptop and aircard so that you will be accountable for anything at anytime regardless of whats going on in your own life.
