Pros

Fantastic benefits (health, vision, dental, tuition reimbursement) and good PTO. Fun co-workers. Competitive pay. Managers buy lunch on launch days and holidays which is a perk. You can learn a lot if you invest yourself.

Cons

Constant reorganization within the company and budget cuts make you question your job security. The obsessed need to be "more than a wireless carrier" for the investors has you selling things that customers don't want or need, and a new off-the-wall product gets added every month to your list of 12 things to sell to every person who walks in the door. Every interaction is micromanaged. If you're looking to advance your career you're up against hundreds of people going for one position, and oftentimes it's about who you know or number pushing, not your actual work performance. No results are celebrated because it's always about the next goal.

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.
