      The Verizon Business unit of Verizon is a meat grinder. - SAM Verizon Employee Review

      Pros

      Big name on resume because some value that highly, exposure to wide variety of marketplace solutions, financial stability of company, a good place for a young pup to cut his/her teeth in workplace. Very politically correct (a two edged sword to be sure) but if you can stomach or need this kind of benefit, it's there. And it offers increasing opportunities abroad, speaking specifically to the VZ Business unit.

      Cons

      Rigidness, excessive process orientation, stifled creativity. Similar to many large companies, a double standard which benefits the "mother ship" and not the employee. Rigidness--worth repeating.

      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.
