Pros

Decent pay, benefits, 401k, etc. Large, rich company, and growing, so no layoffs expected now or in the future. Better than other retail jobs.

Cons

Being in wireless retail means aggressive sales, impossible quotas, and plenty of pressure from management to do more. On top of that is the endless list of policies that constantly change, not always for the better. And customers are quite often unhappy about visiting wireless phone stores. Feels like working at the DMV and Carmax at the same time.

Pros

Good pay, excellent benefits, financially stable company with a solid product line and high quality service, excellent training programs, solid company reputation.

Cons

Out of touch with customers, poor leadership--VZW has started operating under a knee-jerk reaction/panic attack mentality, zero work/life balance. Inconsistent and unorganized HR.

Pros

You get paid every two weeks and it's close to where i live. Very good network. The Insurance dental/vision are decent compared to other large companies. 401k is good.. Ability to work from home. Annual bonus.

Cons

No pension. Benefits cut every year. Multiple layoffs each year. People forced to train their H1B replacements. Very little chance to move between groups or advance skill sets. In IT most new hires are non US. Very little vision of IT. IT functions on chaos - there is very little vision or direction. Too much management leads to red tape and plenty of political battles, wasted effort and wasted $$.
