Pluspunten

I (with 23 years service) work on the outside plant (installing FiOS), and where we are at this point in time, overtime is very good. We still have very good (if not THE best) benefits package because of our union, NOT the company! Overall, my coworkers are still motivated to do a good job, despite the lack of competence exhibited by our immediate supervisors.

Minpunten

NEVER, EVER do we get positive feedback from Management. It's always MORE MORE MORE! They also have the most unobtainable goals for daily productivity. The goals mentioned are seriously jeopardizing quality on a day to day basis, by "suggesting" how long certain parts of an installation should take. If they only knew what is involved in an installation, they wouldn't mention the ridiculous numbers that "have to be met". By that I mean 1st level supervisors have little or NO job experience, yet somehow they know exactly how the job "should" be done AND how long it should take! So what is happening is that newer, less experienced Tech's are taking shortcuts to meet these ridiculous objectives and quality is falling by the wayside.

Pluspunten

The sheer volume of data, infrastructure, and budget allows you to build and run initiatives that you simply cannot replicate at smaller companies. While being here, we have had to solve complex, high-impact problems with strong results, the resources are absolutely here. The frontline teams and mid-level leaders (at least mine) are deeply knowledgeable technical experts who genuinely care about protecting and enabling the business. Leading people of this caliber makes cascading a vision highly rewarding, as the execution capability is top-tier. We are always striving to make the company better without compromising integrity.

Minpunten

Moving large initiatives or projects through a matrixed organization like Verizon requires an exhausting amount of red tape - no matter how much they want to claim otherwise. Decisions that should take days can take weeks or months due to the endless layers of alignment and stakeholder sign-offs required. This is further complicated as the company undergoes regular structural shifts, reorgs, and "strategy pivots". As a leader, a significant portion of your energy will be spent managing team fatigue and keeping folks steady through constant organizational "evolutions."

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
