Pros

As a union employee, I know that Verizon will sacrifice the job of an immensely talented manager in order to fulfill the needs of the worker under the bargained for contract. More job security for me...

Cons

If I wish to advance in my career I would have to think twice before venturing over into management. Although I am sure that I am more than capable of performing the additional duties that the promotion would entail, the job security of being under a bargained contract weighs heavily on my mind.

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.
