Pros of working at Verizon Communications

I was most often given the freedom to do my job without being micromanaged. Pay and benefits were outstanding.

Cons of working at Verizon Communications

A few years before the Covid pandemic the business became a very "reactionary" environment, chasing stock price. This to me said that upper management had "lost their way" so to speak. It became no fun to work there.

Verizon Communications benefits

Vacation and time away were generous. But you had to find time to take it.

Cons of working at Verizon Communications

Leadership. From CEO down to Vice President. Greed and lots of it. Cuts in pay and commission structure. It’s terrible. Not the place to be for post at all. That goes to the executives because after all they do all the work. They keep the clients happy. It’s a “what have you done for me today” industry.

Retirement benefits. Used to be more but be CEO and leadership movement changed that. I’ve been here 13 years. Now I hate it and looking elsewhere

Pros of working at Verizon Communications

Working at the biggest cell phone company in the country was very rewarding, and educational. I have been in customer service my whole career, and working at Verizon Wireless helped me hone my customer service skills. I was on the highest ranked customer service team in the company for almost 6 years of my 6.5 year career at Verizon Wireless. I appreciated that they gave me the tools and trust to take "High Value" customer calls.

Pros of working at Verizon Communications

People, credo, amazing benefits and great pay! Overall my experience with the company was really good, but poor upper management made my work life balance pretty much 0 and my leader was never around to assist. More and more Verizon is weeding out the bad employees and bring in new talent hopefully this helps eliminate these negative events from happening.

Cons of working at Verizon Communications

Some members of upper management are still stuck on the old ways and therefore made it hard to enjoy your job.
