Pros

Benefits, above avg pay, but not for most contractors

Cons

Dismal treatment of contractors, continuous offshoring and layoffs that cause low morale, extreme overtime, total chaos due to inadequate management. As a contractor & former employee of Verizon Business (the former MCI / WorldCom), I see the work environment keeps deteriorating. It used to be a great place to work when it was MCI! WorldCom ruined it. The merger with Verizon has improved things somewhat, though.

Pros

The pay and benefits at Verizon are the best in the industry.

Cons

There is very limited opportunity for growth in many non-management positions. Even if you use the educational benefits and get all the degrees and certificates available, unfortunately, in order to put those skills to work, you will likely be forced to seek employment elsewhere. Many employees promoted to management positions have only demonstrated the ability to do their previous job well and have not demonstrated the ability to lead. Consequently, many employees holding management positions do not understand how job satisfaction directly affects employee performance and attendance, which in turn directly affects customer satisfaction.
