Pros

You get to have one of the two biggest names in the rapidly shrinking cellular industry on your resume. There is significant job security as long as Vodafone doesnt sell out its share of ownership to VZ Comms, then everyone is screwed and there really won't be any good reason to work here. The benefits are really good and you get a great bonus, for now.

Cons

No career development opportunities unless you are part of "the club" click of old timers and brown nosers. If you haven't been around from the beginning then you ain't getting anywhere. Its very easy to get pigeon holed into one veryt narrow job description as well. Management is extremely arrogant. Human resources is completely incompetant.

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.
