Pros

The money was ok in the beginig and had a good benifits package until taken away by Seidenberg. He is actually proud that he has taken away a pension plan from thousands of management employees to save $7billion over 10 yrs. Verizon makes this kind of money in a quarter. When does his greed stop.

Cons

They really don't care about employees and hire managers that don't know anything about what thier people do. Most of mid-level management have no clue what it is they are looking at. This is fina as long as the work force knows what to do. What will this company do in 10 years when the Jr management starts looking to these managers for guidance and thay have no clue what it is the technicians do?

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
