Pros

Verizon is an amazing Fortune 500 company. They offer a very competitive salary and bonus. The main campus is beautiful, lots of restaurants to choose from. Also working from home is a big plus. Very fast paced so good for those who like a challenge. There is ALWAYS work to be done, it is never a slow day at Verizon. Great place to learn and advance your career. They also offer tuition if you would like to return to school.

Cons

If you work in any IT or Marketing position, be prepared to say good bye to your social and personal life. At Verizon the hours are long, and never ending. You will be working day to night, weekends and Holidays. You are not compensated for these hours if you are salary.

Pros

Great pay, great benefits. I had the ability to work remotely and hybrid during my 25 years. Had mostly good experiences and appreciate the time I worked there.

Cons

Unexpected layoffs, but those are pretty common these days.

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.
