Pros

Good severance package. Good people working there in spite of how they are treated. Could maybe treated like gold if you're part of wireless.

Cons

Being sent to do someone else's job when union goes on strike. Seems like there are people who's job it is just to make yours harder. Calling yourself Verizon 2.0 and actually changing are different things. New CEO was at Ericsson when they were part of a bribery scandal in EMEA.

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.
