Pros

I learned a lot working at Verizon. Management was very flexible. Benefits are excellent. Good exposure to the latest and greatest technology and software.

Cons

Lots of volatility and frequent layoffs. Decisions seem to be driven by short term profitability rather than long term strategy.

Pros

Good compensation, good benefits. Lots of opportunities for advancement or lateral moves to other areas of company. Good paying jobs in retail, especially in more rural areas.

Cons

The higher you go, less opportunity to use accumulated vacation, even if you have a large amount due to tenure. Work/life balance needs work, especially in the retail channel. Changes in commission and compensation structure often changes, meaning huge pay cuts to sales force, but other channels not effected equally. Constant "stretch" goals being set as expectations.

nice people, good environment, more flexibility to move, every intern has corresponding mentor to follow with, great opportunity to stay after intern ends.

Cons

This is really a very huge company, so you have to be initiative enough to find your opportunities which is more than you can imagine.
