Pros

The pay is decent, benefits are the best anywhere. You will have very little free time. The demands far outweigh the compensation. After working there for 5 years you may receive a 'promotion" to asst. manager, which is a pay cut if you are a worthwhile sales rep. This is a young persons job with no kids/life. Overall a good job. Lots and lots of bs goes in to this job. You can consistently make 45k If you work your life away you will make 60k plus.

Cons

no personal time. management could care less about you. unreal demands. advancement is very slow.

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.
