Verizon FNS, Verizon Business or MCIzon... whatever you want to call us
Pros
Good benefits including $8,000 towards school. 3 weeks of leave after 3 years. The PTO given is good. Verizon also matches 6% towards your 401k and gives up to a 10% bonus each year.
Cons
The Verizon 401k is no longer that great. Now, every fund is linked back to Verizon one way or another. You’re basically investing back into the company rather than more competitive funds. The 10% is the max you can earn but it's never that since Verizon Business never meets it's projected goals. According to management, the economy is playing a role and having a negative impact on our bonuses this year. Most of us believe the bonuses will be around 5%. Employees that are considered leading among other employees can earn up to 15%. However, we notice the same employees winning each year who happen to be within the good-old boy club.
