Pluspunten

Verizon has good health and other benefits due to it's size. You can move up within the company with the right education and training. They still provide reimbursement for classes.

Minpunten

Verizon continues to tell Wall Street that they will grow every quarter. That's kind of impossible so each quarter we miss our numbers and "cost cutting" has to happen. That means thousands lose their jobs because we're basically lying about possible sales. Who do you know that doesn't have a cell phone yet? Yes we make some money on ringtones, accessories. Most people are cutting back at home - no need for phone line, less TV channels, etc. And then there is the business sector - when companies go out of business we lose money. No way to save or winback that customer with the economy the way it is. So where is this growth we're predicting coming from? Cannabalizing - more wireless sales link to lost landlines; more FiOS sales usually link to lower High Speed Internet (HSI) sales; more FiOS TV means less DirecTV, etc.

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.
