      Pros

      Verizon is a good place to work. They have a lot of employees and the on the job training is probably some of the best there is. Lots of knowledgable people to learn from in all facets of business and business operations. Their benefits are second to none!

      Cons

      Verizon since 2006 has been laying off people virtually every time payday rolls around. Some layoffs are huge and you never know if you will be the next one to go. Verizon is trying to hire younger employees so as to cut their payroll cost and hopefully infuse the company with new creative ideas. They are laying off all their older workers with the knowledge and experience that built the company. If you are over 40 you can expect you will be on the chopping block soon!

      Pros

      There were a lot of pros to working for Verizon. Endless job opportunities was one of them. They had depts in marketing, customer service, sales or other depts. Also they had shadowing programs that would let you try out one of the depts. for a day and share results with your peers. Endless trainings! I started as a customer service rep and through company sponsored trainings, I was able to become a supervisor. In those trainings was taught a lot about how to effectively and lawfully manage employees. After my call center closed in 2012 I had a lot of skills to take back in to the job market and ever since then I have never had problems with finding excellent jobs. In fact because of the experience and education I received while working here, I've had my pick of some excellent career opportunities and numerous recruiters leaving voicemails seeking my experience. This Company also invests a lot of money in modernizing its systems in the call center, as well as additional product trainings. Corporate culture always made me feel like I was working for the best in the industry. We had a lot of company sponsored events which also taught be able teamwork and leadership.

      Cons

      While my review of the pros is glowing,There a few cons. Everything you did or said in the call center was pretty much recorded. The elevators were recorded too. It was a demanding environment. Failure to meet metrics was not acceptable. Every metric not meeting required a massive in depth story. It can be stressful sometimes. In relationship to compensation Verizon is a little bit behind, more so since everyone in the call center is partially a revenue generating employee. Employee benefits were amazing! Lots of PTO options too! Executives at VZW were thinking years ahead and were steering the company in the right direction.
