Pros

Salary and Benefits are excellent. Most departments open to telecommuting.

Cons

RIFs (Reduction in Force) occur on a regular basis. Basically work with a guillotine hanging over your head. It is not a matter of IF you will be RIFFED it is a matter of WHEN. Usually have to handle responsibilities of those who were let go. Depending on who you work for, and reorgs are common, best not provide your opinion if it is not in line with your Manager's or Director's unless you have a very good repoire with them.

Pros

✔ Stock benefits are good. ✔ Work from Office (WFO) is flexible. ✔ Early increments compared to other companies.

Cons

🔴 As a Senior Software Engineer, I expected a professional and respectful work environment, but unfortunately, there is no peace in the company. 🔴 Even after working on weekends, my manager’s feedback was dismissive, saying "You're dumb, you take your sweet time." 🔴 The worst part is my team lead, who has been with Verizon for 10 years—he treats me like trash and does not respect my contributions. 🔴 Permanent employees look down on vendors, treating them as less than human. The way vendors are treated is highly unprofessional and degrading.

Pros

Good insurance. Pay was good. At. 11 years I had 200 vacation hours and 48 personal hours per year. Remote work was nice.

Cons

Everything else. Management doesn't care about what you deal with daily because they don't take calls. The CEO has no clue what he's doing. He ruined Sony Erickson, he's ruining Verizon. They let hundreds of employees go and outsourced the labor which is a bad combination with their zero lack of accountability. Customers are terrible and really no one cares if customers are abusing you. To get anyone to do anything about it, you have to endure it, say something nicely about keeping the conversation professional, enduring more, having to call another department to tell them what's happening (while the customer is getting pissed because they're on hold again), only for them to tell you to do what you've already done, so you go back to an even angrier customer, repeat what you said, get cursed out and called every name in the book, ask to put them on hold again, and talk to the department that's "helping" you deal with this customer again and hope they take over the call. There's little to no communication between departments so customers are always annoyed at having to repeat themselves. If you want to get yelled at by 50 year old children and management back the customer instead of you, knock yourself out. Be looking elsewhere while you work there too because it'll all be outsourced to overseas call centers soon because it'll save the company money.
