      Pros

      The only reason to work for Verizon is the discounts. Coworkers are easy to get along with, a lot of who I've worked with have had college degrees. The customers are generally easy to get along with and there is a great opportunity to learn.

      Cons

      There is a lot of micromanagement at my location, not a lot of training provided, and there is no chance for advancement from retail sales if you are a sales associate. If your location is bad, then your pretty much just relying on your hourly pay which leaves a lot to be desired. Hours are bad even for retail. No work life balance.

      Pros

      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.

      Cons

      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.
