Pros

Great benefits! Much better than other companies in the industry. Compensation is also slightly higher than in other positions, at least in my area. The atmosphere is pretty friendly and people seem to want to work together as a team rather than every man for himself.

Cons

There's a lot of "red tape" surrounding promotions. Positions are posted as open and then filled without interviewing all applicants. The promotion process is very political and unfair. Senior leadership, at least in my location, seems very out of touch with front-line representatives and supervisors and out of touch with their day to day duties.

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.
