Pros

Awesome sales training and support. I started this job with only customer service experience (waiting tables) and a college degree and this job has given me a professional skill set and confidence. The leaders are open minded and humble. Hourly pay + commissions + bonuses + sales contests + 401k and benefits have kept me here longer than I anticipated.

Cons

A retail schedule is hard for work life balance, especially during the holidays. The company and industry is always evolving, sometimes multiple times within the same day or week, so if you are resistant to change this is not for you.

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.
