Pros

Retail Channel...There are lots of opprtunities for adavncement within the retail channel. My advice to anyone is stay in retail and get a management position. Then, you can more easily move to other areas of the company if you desire. They recognize talent and are willing to develop employees, not just hold them to an artificial timeline for advancement.

Cons

LOTS of favoritism all around. Business channel... It seems that once you get into this channel, you are stuck with little opputunity move advance. You are accountable for lots of things when dealing with corporate accounts but are givin no authority to handle situations. Everything has to go through a chain of command that does not make decisions in a timely manner.

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.
