Pros

The pay for a retail employee is very good. Adjustments to salary were made periodically to keep Verizon competative.

Cons

Very sales driven environment that demands your full attention. Interpretation of company's rules do not take circumstance into consideration often favoring the safety of the corporation not the employee. You are expendable and a commodity. Promotions can be a very political issue and not necessarily due to you based on performance. Very few opportunities for a retail employee to move to a corporate job so succession is limited. You are given a cell phone, a blackberry, a laptop and aircard so that you will be accountable for anything at anytime regardless of whats going on in your own life.

Pros

Verizon has reasonable job security if you're working for corporate. The benefits are good. I have been lucky to work under some good mid-level managers. The people on my team are nice people and there is very little conflict within our department.

Cons

Poor work/life balance. Bureacracy. No risk taking. New ideas are not welcome. Time at company is more important than ability. Lot of long termers that don't provide much value. Internal corporate propaganda is mind numbing. Not a place to work if you have any progressive business thoughts.
