Pros

Afforded a lot of momentum by the large machine that was major portions of the bell system. So occupation in that space has afforded some un-deserved respect.

Cons

The leaders here does not understand basic leadership principles and for the most part have no idea about servant leadership. The leaders at Verizon are only interested in what they can get out of the employee and has no interest in development of the employee. Additionally the 40 hour work week is not only lost, but is frowned upon. A typical organizational expectation is in the 60 hour range.

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.
