The good and bad balance.

A/r specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ease of schedule and lack of stress. I was given the opportunity to work from home 2 days a week which was wonderful. The workload was not overly complicated or time consuming. Also, the benefits were very competitive along with an excellent 401k and bonus program.

Cons

No chance for promotion or recognition. The management has been placed in their positions simply because of longevity at a certain position, NOT because of competency. This is frustrating, promotions need to be applied for and are never given. This exposes internal candidates to external competition. Also, the base salaries were not as competitive as other large firms.

Verizon Business isn't half bad.

Project manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefits. My group allows working from home. Supportive direct management. Will assist with tuition reimbursement.

Cons

Direct managers have large impact. I am fortunate to work in a group that supports a healthy work/life balance and allows us to work from home occasionally. That can change very quickly between groups under different directors. Company has a hard time "pushing back" on larger customers. Most career opportunties seem to be in DC and NYC/NJ area. Comapny sends out plently of communications, to the point where it just becomes noise. Morale varies, and you must remember this is old MCI/Worldcom.

Don't work at Verizon as a manager, it's just not worth it.

Local manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is decent, and that's about it. Fairly flexible to get time off quickly.

Cons

Managers have extremely stressful and unrealistic goals and objectives. Long hours also and being constantly tied to the phone make the situation worse. No department has matching objectives so it is impossible to get anything done. Everyone washes hands of issues. Senior management while claim to be working on bureaucracy only make things worse and keep piling work on with no end in site.
