Pros

Good Benefits. Free Phone. School reembursement

Cons

Politics play a role in career growth. Dont expect HR to help you if someone sexualy harasses you. Imcompetent management. The comission enviroment can become extremelly hectic with people fighting over sales. If you make a sale, the pay that you receive can be taken away from you if the cutomers switches servives.

Pros

The only real reason to work for them is for the discounts on the phones. If you happen to work in the field it's good but all that is changing now. They are outsourcing everything.

Cons

When it comes to working in the field everthing is outsourced so there is no real control despite what management thinks. I have watched outsourcers steal thousands of dollars worth of equiptment but the Verizon employees say nothing and just laugh it off.

Pros

Benefits/401K good growth opport. if you work hard and get the proper skill sets. verizon pays for your education if you are "smart enough" to use. You don't sit around and wait for a promotion. You go and get it yourself! learn your job, demonstrate your competencies, get a good review and look to advance yourself. make it a point to understand the big picture of this company...ie. how the entire company fits together, how each part supports the rest etc. Too many folks have worked here in a position for 10-20 years and have no clue what goes on in other parts of the business.

Cons

Benefits have been paired down, however not for upper management. What is good for the goose should be good for the gander too.
