Minpunten

Stop outsourcing to Manila so you can take advantage of cheap, foreign, unregulated, labor. Stop downsizing Stop corporate canabalism! I shouldn't be competing against agents selling the same products for cheaper. Customers should have their account manager’s direct line listed on their bills. Your prices are ridiculously higher than your competitors a customer can get a 100M from a competitor for what Verizon Charges for a 10M, good luck selling value on that one, especially with all of your backend problems. Train your new people better no more three week crash courses Train your existing people better, online courses in between selling are pointless. Start placing your customers and employees first or there will be no bottom line to worry about and there will be no more shareholders. CEO needs to stop making short sighted bottom line decisions based on the current quarters stock price. CEO only earned 22.5M last year and the top execs about 14M each yet they are laying people off like crazy MCI WorldCom part duece Did I mention that the same people who ran that company into the ground now have high ranking positions at Verizon Business? Stop making your sales people wait two months to get their comp checks Stop making people go into payback because a customer canceled a circuit they sold six months ago, yes there is a six month window! And that doesn’t reset after the new year or even Verizon’s new year which begins sometime in late March apparently Give routers and equipment sales credit values. Start billing your customers when their router is installed and pinged not when the circuit is installed. Own the entire install, stop making people pay extra for demarc extensions and having Adtran handle the router install and making their vendors do cross connects for VoIP it's a total mess, it never used to be that way... Why is it like pulling teeth to get a tech to go on-site to fix a repair or install issue? Takes multiple tickets to get anything done… if your lucky. That goes for billing issues too… Start billing your customers correctly the first time! 90% of the time they are billed incorrectly Consolidate your systems there are a hundred it's ridiculous And have everyone use the same ones! One hand does not know what the other is doing. Streamline your processes it took me an entire day to return a router for a customer... literally! Hire more install people, 6 months for and Internet dedicated Ethernet circuit install is absolutely absurd.

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.
