      Verizon - So so place to work - Systems Administrator Verizon Employee Review

      Pros

      Compensation at Verizon, in non-union positions is fairly good vis-a-vis other telecommunication providers. Having worked at MCI who was bought out by WorldCom, who, as we all know, went the BK route then reverted back to the good old MCI name - then was bought out by Verizon, I can easily attest to the fair compensation. This, of course, after having been there for many many years. I believe with any large corporation that if you put in your years you will be well compensated.

      Cons

      Too little opportunity to adance within the company. Very political environment in order to advance. Unfortunately it is now how well you do your job, it is who you know.

      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.
