Pros

Friendly atmosphere, many worthwhile events, and valuable training sessions. Hourly pay is also very good (approx $17 per hour). Interns can begin contributing to a 401k with the company. The company intends to breed interns into full time employees. Definately worth working at the headquarters as opposed to one of Verizon's small offices as the majority of its senior leadership is positioned in Basking Ridge.

Cons

Technical support issues with passwords/logon screens is highly frustrating. Little supervision of employees often leads to wandering minds. Need to better explain the steps that need to be taken to transition to a full time employee.

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.
