Pros

If you are looking to skate by, stay under the radar, and have an average job all your life w/o opportunity for promotion but also without much true scrutinization -- Verizon is the place for you.

Cons

Tough place to work if you want upward mobility. I had many promotions and opportunities at previous companies I worked -- none at Verizon over a lengthy stay. Finally was frustrated, left, and glad I did! I've heard nothing but worse news over the past couple years from friends still there...

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.
