Pros

Good benefits: medical, dental, tuition assistance. If you like a challenge, then Verizon is for you. The company is engaged in many very challenging and difficult projects so there is opportunity to push yourself to the limits and learn new things.

Cons

work and life balance equals you revolving your life around work. Not very flexible with work schedules. Salaried employees required to work 60-80 hours in a given week without notice. Weekend work without notice. Very limited advancement potential.

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.
