Pros

The benefit package is very competitive and bonuses tend to be on the up side if you are a solid producer. The product lines are exciting and interesting. Management generally give the ability to implement your own ideas and is generally supportive of out of the box thinking.

Cons

Hours can tend to be long at times, with early start times and frequent evening hours. Lack of strategic planning can bring up multiple "on the fly" projects that have unclear strategies and require fast track implementation -- often resulting in a less than quality launch. Promotions require moving to New Jersey in some cases, which severely limits the talent pool of people able to get promoted.

Pros

The company is doing well and the bonuses have been good. Very few layoffs over the past decade.

Cons

Base pay is low. Not enough staff for a growing company. Constantly asked to do more with less. Will probably be absorbed in to Verizon Corporation.

Pros

Verizon brand name recognition open doors for sales opportunities. Verizon pays well for solid performance; albeit, upside is limited for outstanding achievement. Excellent training programs are available, and employees are encouraged to continue learning. Verizon also offers numerous products and services. Verizon attracts very talented people, and its top leadership are well deserving of their positions.

Cons

It's a large company with standard: processes, procedures, services so it can be difficult to bring additional value to customers, and react quickly in a dynamic market. As you would expect with any large, regulated company, the beauracracy is a challenge, but can be navigated with patience and persistence.
