Pros

The benefits started day one, the tutition reimbusment funds are awesome. Plus, Verizon will pay for your education directly to the college before your classes start, which means no money out of your pocket.

Cons

The politics made it difficult to get promoted. Open positions are listed but ususally the actual position has already been given to someone. Management will still go through the motions of interviewing people who do not stand a chance of getting the job.

Pros

Great benefits! Much better than other companies in the industry. Compensation is also slightly higher than in other positions, at least in my area. The atmosphere is pretty friendly and people seem to want to work together as a team rather than every man for himself.

Cons

There's a lot of "red tape" surrounding promotions. Positions are posted as open and then filled without interviewing all applicants. The promotion process is very political and unfair. Senior leadership, at least in my location, seems very out of touch with front-line representatives and supervisors and out of touch with their day to day duties.
