Pros

Comparing to my previous experience, really nothing special. Salary payment on time.

Cons

Too many people treating the place as retirement home. No drive, no risk taking. Very frustrating to get anything done. Mgmt very inexperienced in people management and no opinions asked when moving people, "my way or highway" type mentality. Still dress shirt mentality, for fun I break it every day and get looks :-)

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.
