Pros

great money, great friends made, great bonuses. I would reccomend this job to anyone who wants to work in a fast paced result driven industry

Cons

I would not reccomend this place of employment to anyone who has a family that they enjoy seeing, as this job especially the retail end of this job is very frustrating as they dont give good vacation time around the holidays.

Pros

Competitive compensation, decent benefits, good first sales experience, opportunities for advancement, paid time off, many different opportunities within the company

Cons

I actually really enjoyed working at Verizon Wireless but it seems as soon as you get comfortable there, policies change and it seems like you're always being threatened with your job. Also working in a store you are competing against your own company when customers can go online for better deals or get a Verizon cell phone from Best Buy, Costco, or any other number of places that usually offer it a little cheaper or with free accessories.

Pros

The pay and compensation is good as well as the benefits. It enabled my family to get out of debt and turn our finances around through some strict budgeting. There are many people out of work or under-employed doing hard labor for little money so I appreciate the opportunity. Not only were we able to accomplish our personal goals but the company provided $8,000 yr toward education that allowed me to get reacquainted with college and am now pursuing a high level education as a result.

Cons

I have never worked somewhere that allows such deceit and provided zero opportunity for advancement. Management within the center seem inept and feel the need to demonstrate to you that they are in charge and if they feel you have any ambition at all and you dont fit their idea of a lackey, you dont have a prayer in that center. My hope was to put in the 18 month minimum in the center then move on but all opportunities seemed to disapear. I found the union (IBEW 824) to be helpful once a new business manager was in place but the seniority aspect with regard to advancement creates a time served over qualified situation.
