Pros

The pay compared to other retail positions is excellent. Top Sales Reps make over $80k annually, which is more than several managers. Aggressive behavior is highly rewarded, and the ability to move up (or at least laterally) within the company is always present.

Cons

Going through a formalization period, which means redundancy and beurocracy. If you are not in sales, the job is hellish. Additional mandates are placed on the customer service/retail operations staff on what seems like a weekly basis without additional reward or compensation. Verizon Wireless states that it has a commitment to customer service, but what they mean is they will encourage the customer service/sales reps to do everything they can for the customer, while making it increasingly more difficult to do. It makes the days draining.

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.
