Pros

Solid company. Benefits are great. Good product to sell. Flexible schedule.

Cons

Made around $70K/ yr. Commission restructured. Now closer to $40K/yr. Quite a pay cut from an extremely profitable company! Company preaches Selling With Integrity but if you're not adding data packages to little old ladys' accounts, you are reprimanded or even fired. VERY shady. If a customer upgrades to a new phone that uses the same car charger and headset as the old phone, you are encouraged to sell them a new car charger and headset. I could go on and on....

Pros

I needed to gain the technical side of project management and took a position as Quality Assurance End to End Test PM. I have learned more about the technical than I knew existed. Great teams and very good processes for adequate requirements testing. Streamlined and automated communication processes keep Verizon paperwork light compared to IBM.

Cons

Contractors are restricted by the 4160 rule, meaning you can only owrk your contract for a maximum of approximately 2 years, then you are let go. Pay is very very low comparatively and I would not have taken the job if I had not needed to fill out my business heavy resume with technical expertise. No conract to hire.
