      Pros

      Good salary and benefits Tuition Assistance for degrees that support your job function

      Cons

      No opportunity for advancement unless you are willing to move to New Jersey There is no employee development or encouragement to take training outside of Verizon products and pricing. Achieving an MBA is not celebrated or recognized. How performance ratings and pay increases are determined are not standard across workgroups. When a layoff occurs, performance is of no importance. Most layoffs are due to age and if the employee is near the top of a salary band.

      Was a great place to work

      Senior analyst - finance

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In October of 2015 they reorganized the company, centralized the 21 regions into 5 markets and centralized all controls and decision making. The layoffs will continue into 2016 and rumor is 35,000 jobs in all will be cut and 30% of retail stores closed. I think what I did and what I got paid will be pretty meaningless in the near future. I was with them since 1999 in a variety of operation and finance roles. They took great care of those of us who got riffed but in a few years, I won't recognize what is left of the company.

      Cons

      Like any big company, they will do whatever serves the shareholders' best interest. Company focuses so much on it's customers, they are losing valuable talent to add a couple of points to the stock shares. Leadership doesn't share long term strategy with the team.

      Great career

      Product manager
      Recommend

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great salary and benefits, great people, solid industry, focus on giving back to the community and significant volunteer and financial support opportunities; I have been proud to work for Verizon Wireless (or some previous version of the company) for 21 years.

      Cons

      Significant organizational change and opportunities are now limited to fewer major cities. Disappointing that a telecommunications company that markets to its customers that its service will allow them to work and play anywhere does not promote remote work ability for its employees.
