T-Mobile reviews

You will asked to live and die for the company but get shafted in the end. I spent almost 12 years as an account manager with T-Mobile (and VoiceStream). I had a lot of success and the awards to prove it. I took two weeks off for Medical Leave under FMLA and I was fired while I was out. No real reason was given. I was just told that since I was an "At Will" employee I could be let go for any reason with no right to appeal. I asked for severance and was told that it was "against company policy to provide severance" which is a lie since I know of others that received severance packages. HR is a tool of management. Never, ever, report wrong doing or abuse by your manager. HR sides with management. The next thing that happens is retaliation followed by termination. I learned too late what type of company T-Mobile had become. If you are still working for T-Mobile you must support a union to protect your rights,Go to www.t-mobileunion.com.

Managers do not have discretion to give raises to their key producing employees without having to hurdle the political barriers. Belief they can grow the skills needed in the rank and file through coaching and so they under-hire for staff positions. This is why the compensation is lower than average, and management is overworked. The goals and objectives are achieved but at a very high cost of manager burn out, leading to employee dissatisfaction with management. T-Mobile has a policy of "no references" with the penalty of job loss to any employee caught providing a reference. As a past member of management, this is a difficult hurdle when seeking new employment, when other employers require references and evidence of achievements
