Pros

FLEXABLE SCHEDULE AND ALWAYS CHANGING. They pay well and have great benifits. They have locations everywhere and you can transfer after being employeed only one year. They also have a lot of training and support for your current position with the company.

Cons

Have to work weekends, Not much room to move up in the company past a store manager. There is not a lot of planning for your future with the company. It all about how well you are doing your job right now. In the retail environment they have unrealistic expectations of goals which turns a lot of employees off. I did not have a problem hitting the targets but co workers of mine did.

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.
