      Benefits and pay seem really good vacation days start day 1. Pretty good amount of training if you have some type of skill with technology

      I worked at Verizon full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Some of the supervisors are awesome and work really hard to support their teams. The benefits are great and the pay is pretty good.

      Cons

      Higher management only thinks about the bottom line not the employees. Making goals just isn't good enough for them they always want more. They used to give bonuses for ranking at the top but they took that away.

      Advice to Management

      Give back the rewards. Your employees deserve to be rewarded when the are at the top

      Very generous health insurance, 401K match, sick days. Vacation and personal days given. Discount, 50%, on wireless service and other items that are sold through your wireless account.

      Beware of the negative public reaction to moving jobs to foreign countries.
