MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Verizon Wireless is adding 23 full-time positions before the end of June in the state of Wisconsin. The positions will be based across state and interested candidates may apply online by visiting the Verizon Wireless website at www.vzwcareers.com.

The new positions offer competitive salaries and benefits, including health care coverage that begins on the first day of employment, and participation in the company's 401 (k) program with a dollar-for-dollar match of up to six percent of an employee's salary contribution.

Verizon, which employs more than 480 across the state of Wisconsin, offers tuition reimbursement, adoption assistance and bonuses.

The company promotes work/life balance by offering lactation rooms for new mothers, on-site college courses, tutoring services, dining facilities and an Employee Assistance Program.

Verizon Wireless has been named one of the best companies for working moms by Working Mother for 13 straight years.

Computer World lists Verizon Wireless as one of the "100 Best Places to Work in IT."

"Verizon Wireless is a growing company in an exciting industry, and we are expanding here in Wisconsin," said Brian Pascoe, president of the Illinois/Wisconsin Region for Verizon Wireless. "We are committed to offering resources to all our employees that help them enjoy work and grow their careers without sacrificing the things that are most important to their families."

Verizon Wireless also actively recruits military veterans.

"Veterans return home every day and have to begin new lives as civilians," said Michael McMahon, director of business sales, Illinois/Wisconsin Region for Verizon Wireless, and former U.S. Army Sergeant. "Verizon recruiters are trained to understand the value of a candidate's military experience. We believe those sometimes intangible skills add value to our company and help a veteran to thrive in a team environment like ours."
