Pros

• Great compensation & benefits; better than anyone else in their industry • They have a clear vision of where they want to be and well-defined goals • Truly try to take care of the customer • Lots of bright and good people, including highest levels of management

Cons

• Retail sales is not for everyone and the competition can be very stressful; if the company set an aggressive growth objective of 12%, by the time it gets to the retail rep level their managers could be demanding for a surreal 100% improvement (due to the multiplying bonus) • Metrics-oriented environment can lead to cheating, fraud, and misleading customers in order to obtain a bonus • Lots of unprofessional and underqualified people in lower management • Very hard to go to other areas of the company once initiated in Retail Sales

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.
