Pros

Company offer high technology environment in order for a progressive career.

Cons

Verizon do not care at all about employees. They are cutting everywhere and replacing US Engineers for Engineers from India. Your job is at risk all the time now. For the last lay off in December 2017, they promised retire benefits that were not true. For instance, the retiree employee phone program, they told retire employees that if you qualified (it was my case), you will received 50% discount price plan. Now suddenly they decided to change that starting in 2019. In FLorida a verbal agreement could be considered a contract. I will look for LEGAL help. IT is time that somebody start requesting our right as employees. Also, they try to push away UNIONS. Manages constantly thread you regarding any contact that you can do with Unions's people. IT is a BAD environment for professionals in the industry.

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.
