Pros

This company inspires me and excites me. I still remember getting chills when I first entered the lobby and read the large plate with the Verizon Wireless credo. This is a company built around a set of values and ideals which drive and direct every aspect of the way it does business. I'm tempted to paste the whole credo here but I won't. I'm not a sucker or a fanboy or someone who is easily impressed but I've worked for a number of "best to work for" companies and Cellco / Verizon Wireless is hands down the best company I've ever been a part of. I feel that the entire company is working for my success and development. My benefits are excellent. I've seen quick advancement and my development within the company has been better than I ever expected.

Cons

The only possible downside is that it's very performance driven which can be a little stressful for those who aren't energized by this. It's an incredibly fast moving industry and requires constant learning and adaptation to change. I wouldn't recommend the company to someone who doesn't work hard and take challenges head on and definitely wouldn't recommend the company to anyone who wants to settle into a routine and will have a hard time with change.

Pros

Verizon is a great place to work. They propagate an entrepreneurial atmosphere and encourage innovation. Employees are accountable for what they do and everyone is tasked to create value for the company and create the best user experience possible for the customer while doing that. Creativity is nurtured and there is a sense everyone is working towards the 'greater good'.

Cons

At times working for a large company can feel overwhelming in that changing directions to deal with market conditions becomes very difficult. Finding enough growth areas for a company of this size is key to the success of the company over the next 10 years and key for professional growth off the employees.
