Pros

Customer Service is making a strategy shift to home based agents and U.S. based vendor center involvement. Additionally, the release of 5G technology has been a market winner for the company, thus far, and has strengthened the stock. The announcement by the CEO to offer a widesweeping voluntary separation package has also had a positive "uptick" on the stock, as well.

Cons

Steps are underway via a voluntary separation program to gentrify the workforce and hopefully revitalize Verizon's overall operations (wireless and wire line). The publicly announced plan involves allowing an overall revitalization of the worforce with the opportunity being offered to a large amount of employees. The culture is still that of a company that struggles to avoid being too big, and thus out of touch with some of its consumers and constituents.

Pros

Great pay, great benefits. I had the ability to work remotely and hybrid during my 25 years. Had mostly good experiences and appreciate the time I worked there.

Cons

Unexpected layoffs, but those are pretty common these days.

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.
