      Pros

      Benefits are amazing, it would be hard to find better benefits,.other than maybe having a pension. There are also many opportunities within the company to advance. The tuition assistance is great,..currently 8000 per year. There is also an open door philosophy.

      Cons

      Some of the hiring practices internally leave something to be desired. More emphasis than necessary is placed on recruiting minorities into positions, even if someone is better qualified. Also, there is too much emphasis put on hiring from within, although it is great to have a promote from within philosophy, it would be nice to get outsider views as well.

      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.
