Current Employee – been working at Verizon full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Not much that can be said on the pro side

Cons – Backstabbing leadership; living incarnation of corporate Hunger Games- you only succeed by making others fail. Self aggrandizing statements about it being the best place to work are blatant lies. Never ending layoffs, penny pinching budget restrictions despite record making profits. Culture of it never being enough despite non stop work.

Advice to Senior Management – Just stop being 2 faced and state you are out to make as much as possible regardless of the toll on your employees.

Current Employee – been working at Verizon full-time for more than a year

Pros – A huge company with opportunities nationwide and overseas. They have fantastic benefits and employee perks. In sales you have an opportunity to make money and be on the cutting edge of technology. Union protection.

Cons – Management is not always the best.You can move up but in some cases it will take time. Some long time employees do not want to give up their position. This company is about the bottom line and its shareholders. Sometimes giving unrealistic quotas to meet. Too much like big brother.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep track of your employees and see where they are good at. Give them opportunities to shine elsewhere if that is where their talent is. Give employees a chance to move around and network and build business outside of work.
