Pros

To have a work in the current economy, [consider] few perks like discounts in wireless and phone service, some insurance discounts, etc.

Cons

To replace a broken PC, it took them 3 weeks!!!! No work/life balance – working over the weekends is the norm. Cheap labor in Verizon India makes onshore employees not valuable. Medical benefits suck. Salary is much less than in the finance sector.

Advice to Management

Be respectful to employees, not only in slogans. I hate those "We never stop working for you!" It's actually "We never stop working YOU."
