Pros

work life balance; fair pay; decent benefits; strong 401k (despite removal of pension for managers); teamwork is strong; nice people work for the company; if you can duck the rifs and focus on your work, you are rewarded well

Cons

job security; upward mobility for those not interested in living in Jersey; bureacracy losing focus on getting it done for the customer; we are so busy feeding reports that we are not feeding the business that generates the reports; recent rifs have created a sense of distrust and insecurity that will be difficult to move beyond

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
