Pros

Compensation was good, but it came at a price.

Cons

Working for Verizon Wireless was one of the worst experiences I have had in my professional life. There is no direction and no guidance, and you are held accountable for everything that is given to you, even though you are not told how to do your job.

The management will try to pile on as much work as you and your team are able to handle, and then add more, and then will hold you accountable if the work is not done on time.

There is also preferential treatment.

  • If you are an employee, you will always be treated better and get the better projects.
  • If you are a Muslim, you will be treated badly.
  • You will be treated better if you are Caucasian.

One more thing: the hours are extremely long, so do not hope to maintain a personal life.

My best advice is: do not work there.

Advice to Management

Management should be replaced by people who understand proper processes. They are horrible people who will stab you in the back given a chance.
