Pros

- Great Benifits - Some really experienced managers - Monthly recognition calls

Cons

-Work expectations and requirements are not matching the pay anymore. (They ask for more and keep paying less on commissions, sad) -inexperienced managers -Stressful -Management pushes employees too a 'I want too quit' breaking point. -A lot of brown nosing people in the company.(most often --people will get promoted from this rather then from sales results) -Too much back and fourth strategies. -Breaks/lunches are discouraged// frowned on in some locations. -People can get away with anything if they know the right person. -coworkers throw each other under the bus all the time. Been with the company for over 6 years pay is gradually becoming less even with continual raises. Quotas are constantly being raised.

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.
