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

None so far. I just got hired so I'm stoked and it's been so long I had to leave a review because I've been reading them while going through this process hope it helps someone else out.

Pros
It's a great place to work.

Can go on strike every 3 years, when contracts are up. Small price to pay for a good job. New hourly and salaried employees won't receive a pension.
Advice to Management
To get respect, you have to give it.

Advancement, good pay and benefits.
Free company phone and discount on service. Training is very important to Verizon so you learn alot.Cons
Escalated customers can be hard to deal with. You have to have a thick skin and remember they are not mad at you.

Pros
Great compensation-- truly get paid for how hard you work. This company places great value on performance. So if you do not want to be held accountable, choose a different company. But if you like being paid what you are worth, this is a fantastic place to work.
Great work life balance-- as long as I get my work done, I'm free to use my time as I feel like I need to.
Awesome benefits. Better than any other company I've been a part of.Cons
As with any corporation there can be policy's and procedures that seem to be old and unnecessary, but the good news is the company looks to always improve-- sometimes it's just not as quickly as we'd like.
Advice to Management
Continue to treat others fairly, pay people well, and be willing to change.

"Excellent Union Strong Company"
StarStarStarStarStarPros
Income potential is amazing bonus payouts top in the industry. Potential to move forward with the company boundless. Potential for younger new to the work place environment to learn more and a chance to make it your 1st and last employer is yours for the taking.
Cons
Not great for work life balance. The company has the right to move around your off days at their leisure. Not family friendly. Attendance policy unrealistic leaves no room for life events that may affect the average human being.
No support for the high goals that are set is a sink or swim position. Highly competitive position that is more focused on the end result but no road map to get there. Union although strong in negotiations during the contract phase very little influence after to adapt to management changes, management has the upper hand until time for new contract.Advice to Management
Remember that consultants work to live not live to work. Balance is key.
