Pros

This is a great comapany to work for with excellent benefits. There is room for advancement. You manage your own time.

Cons

Well since it is a sales job you know all the pressure and stress that goes along with this job. There are a few negative people but you do your job and you're fine.

Pros

Verizon has good health and other benefits due to it's size. You can move up within the company with the right education and training. They still provide reimbursement for classes.

Cons

Verizon continues to tell Wall Street that they will grow every quarter. That's kind of impossible so each quarter we miss our numbers and "cost cutting" has to happen. That means thousands lose their jobs because we're basically lying about possible sales. Who do you know that doesn't have a cell phone yet? Yes we make some money on ringtones, accessories. Most people are cutting back at home - no need for phone line, less TV channels, etc. And then there is the business sector - when companies go out of business we lose money. No way to save or winback that customer with the economy the way it is. So where is this growth we're predicting coming from? Cannabalizing - more wireless sales link to lost landlines; more FiOS sales usually link to lower High Speed Internet (HSI) sales; more FiOS TV means less DirecTV, etc.

Pros

Benefits, yearly bonus, discounted cell phone plan

Cons

I don't know where to start. The commission gets worse every month. They will take money out of your commission check if you discount phones for customers, or if you have too many phones returned. Their policies are not employee centric at all. Mandatory six day work weeks are the norm during certain times of the year. There is no work/life balance at all. Micromanagement is constant from all levels. It is the most stressful place I have ever worked.
