dedicated to our employees

Verizon is, and continues to be recognized as a great place to work – a company that people are proud to say they work for and others want to join. Because we hold ourselves to very high standards of performance and accountability, we offer in return compensation and benefits that are among the best in corporate America, many opportunities for learning and career advancement, and useful programs for balancing the demands of work and home.

The opportunities for personal development remain a Verizon hallmark, and we are always investing in the development and training of our employees. Here are just a few of the great reasons to consider us:

Better Health

• Verizon spends nearly $4 billion annually on health care for approximately 900,000 Verizon employees, retirees and dependents.
• Most of our health plans cover preventive and detection screenings at 100 percent, and we increase efforts to raise awareness and encourage early detection by offering on-site services such as flu shots and mammography screenings.
• In selecting companies that make up our slate of health plan offerings, Verizon now weighs how they are addressing – and reducing – the racial and ethnic disparities in health care.

Verizon Tuition Assistance Programs

• Verizon’s tuition assistance programs pay 100 percent of approved tuition and fees at accredited institutions of higher education, up to $8,000 per year.

Safety

• We always endeavor to increase training, safety observations and communications, and are constantly reducing the number of occupational injuries and illnesses experienced by our valuable team.

Training

• Opportunities for ongoing learning and growth through training include everything from compliance issues to management techniques. There are also a variety of courses available for improving broadband, mobile and IP related skills.
