Pros

Pay is decent, health benefits are really good, but that's also how they keep you reeled in.

Cons

Inconsistent metrics that horribly affect any bonuses you may be eligible for. Extreme mental health stress as half my team was in intermittent LOA due to the stress. Our best rep, who often went to the annual PEAK top achiever's events, spent at least one hour a week sobbing in the break room from the stress. Company is staunchly anti union and they have no issues outsourcing thousands of US employees at a time to cut corners. My entire division (1000 messaging reps) were outsourced during an all hands on deck conference call with them VP Callie Fields, who told us that (I kid you not) customers want outsourced care based on surveys despite documented evidence that Alorica (the company that we were outsourced to) intentionally promised the customers everything to get the top scores and then pawn the responsibility to the US call centers. Now Fields runs the Strategic Enterprise Government Accounts (SEGA) and is running that into the ground as most tenured reps already left from her insane changes and she replaced them with external hires. Now they're making a large push to "Digital Ready" which is getting clients to do everything online, thus making a final push to get all US based reps outsourced. I am not being hyperbolic, they achieved the merger, and now are moving to maximize short term profits to get the highest bonuses. If you are reading this and still work there, RUN! You are expendable to them no matter how well you achieve your metrics. Once your position is redundant or slightly less profitable, you will be booted out. Even the most staunch of supporters have left, leaving bootlickers and rookies who don't know how great the place used to be.

Pros

Training and "green days" to work on training courses online, team activities for teambuilding, excellent benefits including up to a 10% yearly bonus (merit-based), tuition reimbursement, extra insurance options besides health insurance (pet insurance, free life insurance up to 1.5x yearly salary), stock purchase options and yearly stock award to each employee. One of my favorite benefits is job swaps - so long as your manager clears it, you can swap jobs with an employee from another related department for up to a couple months to gain insight and experience into what the other department does from day to day. I left my last company as it had become a bad environment, and after joining with T-Mobile I realized it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. There are very few days where I wake up not wanting to go to work, and I learn something new every day. When I come across a process I'm not familiar with, my teammates are more than happy to provide on-the-spot training, or schedule a time that works for both of us to do so. Above all, the managers set you up to succeed rather than to fail - they want you to do well, and do everything in their power to make sure you have the tools to do well.

Cons

There's some of the same political bs that any company has, but my team has two excellent managers that make work enjoyable. There are a couple personality issues within the team, as happens with any job, but overall everyone gets along. As far as training goes, there wasn't a whole ton initially (though I believe it's more due to the nature of the job - it's impossible to condense everything into a couple week training course).

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this -- we love hearing how much you love coming to work! Your words were spot on when you said your team wants you to "do well". That's exactly what we want for all of our team members! The nature of our business is constantly changing and we know how important it is to provide good benefits and equip you with the training and development you need to be successful. We're glad you're taking full advantage of all of it. As we continue to grow and evolve, so will our training and tools. If you ever feel like you're not getting enough of what you need, though, talk it over with your manager and they'll help you get back on track. Thanks again for your feedback and your dedication to T-Mobile. -- T-Mobile Careers Team
