Pros

401k matching ,tuition reimbursement, great medical and dental insurance. You can definitely grow knowing the right people at the right time. Lots of opportunities .

Cons

No matter how many targets you exceed it won't be enough. Commission payout gets lower as quotas get higher. There is no time to take advantage of all of the training and developmental tools available because sverything is sell sell sell. Sales reps do everything in store including tech support, customer service, bill analysis, inventory, operations and even cleaning. It's burn out with no compliments or rewards. Management isn't always supportive and sometimes less knowledgeable then plenty of the reps. You have to be self motivated and get to know lots of the important people. So much talent sitting and waiting for opportunities that never become available.

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.
