Everything I’ve heard about Verizon is terrible, including friends on the brand side.
If this app had a search function, you would see a thread where Verizon was nominated as the worst client next to Samsung.
CMO is a nightmare.
Had a couple account and operations people jump ship from our agency to Verizon
RUN. THE. FUCK. AWAY. Telcom is terrible no matter what side you are on.

Probably terrible. But won't blame you for taking the $$$
@MediaAssociate1 any word from your former colleagues?
Just higher salary. Everyone I know that went there was associate or senior associate level, but Verizon offered most of them 150% current salary
Interviewed there in April or May, can't remember. Team seemed young and very friendly. They mentioned the goal is to take everything in-house in a few years but for now it's just websites, brochures, emails, and POS collateral.
I believe the CMO came from Apple.
Office was a ghost town and I got the vibe they weren't looking for big ideas, just production.
All valid impressions. I also wish this app had a search function.

I interviewed back in April and politely declined a 2nd interview. It was meant to be a NYC based role but somehow expected me to get to their office way out in NJ twice a week (with no car). The minimal pay increase would not have been worth it with the extra uber rides. Plus the idea of creating my own decks scared the shit out of me.
A recruiter for them reached out again last week and I declined again. Just not worth it
Interviewed with McCann about their VZ account. Felt like I was joining a cult. Ran like Forrest.
Be prepared to not ever have a vacation day
