Pros

The pay and benefits kept me working at Verizon Business. Training courses were available online, but since you work 50-60+ hours a week, when do you have time to take them?

Cons

Too many long hours and weekend work. Little to no recognition for the job you do. Very little senior management support when things are going badly. Absolutely no training available. Learn as you go, but make sure the schedule doesn't slip.

Advice to Management

Slow down! All of the releases you slam into production eventually will become a house of cards.

Take a reality check. Realize that improving market share does not mean you must have EVERY customer.

Learn to be transparent when dealing with your employees.
