Pros

Great salary and benefits, great people, solid industry, focus on giving back to the community and significant volunteer and financial support opportunities; I have been proud to work for Verizon Wireless (or some previous version of the company) for 21 years.

Cons

Significant organizational change and opportunities are now limited to fewer major cities. Disappointing that a telecommunications company that markets to its customers that its service will allow them to work and play anywhere does not promote remote work ability for its employees.

Finance Transformation - Elimination of Jobs

Systems specialist/project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits in relation to medical, compensation and tuition assistance.

Cons

Finance is going through "transformation'... moving employees into (3) major hubs; Tulsa, Ok; Lake Mary, FL; and New Jersey. The company is using the guise of transformation to eliminate thousands of job. Majority of all Finance groups are impacted and will be relocated into one of the hubs. This includes employees who currently work remote. Fran Shammo has 'eliminated' telecommuting and/or any other 'work-life' balance shift. All Finance employees have to report into the office (as of last year). The company is forcing those employees willing to move to 'reapply' for their position! Current employee's applying for their jobs are not guaranteed a position in 'new' location. THIS IS INSULTING. Outside of Finance, there is the constant worry about being layoff. Verizon has constant layoffs across the board every year.
