Pros

Well, you get to work for a company that has good name recognition.

Cons

They have a lot of contractors, some of which never make it to the employee stage. My PC IT guy was great, but after five years, they never did him the honor of giving him some semblance of security or benefits. They are tight, and tend to run the company like a mom-and-pop store, with lots of oversight from above. They make a great deal about their customer service rep going the extra mile for customers, but they don't treat their employees the same way.

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.
