Pros

401k matched at 6%, profit sharing, yearly bonus for employees at each level, up to 8,000 tution prepayment/reimbursment, 26 paid days off in the first year of employement. Benefits start the first day of employment!

Cons

Rules change everyday, opportunities for advancement aren't always known or shared by management. To much bureaucracy. In customer care moral is low.

Pros

Very good benefits package when it comes to health, dental and 401K options. Vacation and benefits start from your first day of employment. Salaries start better than average for the industry and facilities are an A+

Cons

Fear Factor Wireless should be called instead of Verizon Wireless. This company only focuses in killing AT&T, Sprint and some other competitors that numbers is what counts (and you will be treated like a Zero). Forget about your life as you knew it and be prepared to work all kind of crazy hours and listen to senseless conference calls and unproductive meetings. The company blocks so many weeks of the year for vacation time that you can take only one week at the time if you are lucky; most of the time you accumulate vacation that you can't enjoy. You better know how to take some pressure before you apply there.

Pros

Working from home is an accepted practice. The benefits are better than average.

Cons

There is always a chance of being laid-off, no matter how long you have been there or how good of a job you do.
