Pros

Pay is decent. Commission is decent. Bonuses are decent. 401K match is great. Tuition program is outstanding. Fun work environment.

Cons

I can't even begin to list all the cons/negative about this place. Management is a joke. Plays favorites. Promises the world at the interview and training and then it's like pulling teeth to get even a lateral move. Don't use your paid time off if you plan on leaving because they will take it out of your last check and bill you for the rest of it. They will fire your for even the slightest rule infraction. Almost every customer who calls in is pissed off and screaming at you. Very high stress level, not worth the aggravation. Typical call center micromanagement. Can't leave your desk for 2 minutes without someone trying to find out where you are. Do it too much and get written up. Teams and schedules switch every 6 months.

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.
