Pros

Compensation and new FiOS Internet & TV technology. The overall compensation is still competitive and beats some employers. In the geographic areas where FiOS is provided and planned, Verizon 'feels' like a real force that could successfully survive the tough economy. In non-FiOS areas with prevalent DSL availability that appears somewhat true as well.

Cons

Continual restructuring can impact perceived job security for low- to mid-level management. In non-FiOS areas, even some with DSL available, the future feels more uncertain with regard to selling off parts someday.

Pros

Very strong comp/benefits package, including great tuition assistance benefit; performance based culture that generally weeds out the incompetent quickly; strong emphasis on the customer and conducting business in an ethical way. A leading performer in a growth industry. Senior Mgmt takes a long term view and generally makes sound, business savy decisions; extensive online training offerings available on company intranet.

Cons

Work/life balance is a challenge in certain departments/jobs, especially the retail channel. Pressure to perform / deliver the numbers constantly drives some level of burnout, particularly in the sales functions; like any large company, there is some level of bureaucracy, but not overwhelming.
