Pros

The salary and benefits are good.

Cons

Almost all management has no idea what happens in the field, they make bad policy decision after bad policy decision. Most recently, they hired a number of people, barely trained them, supplied almost no tools and then sent them to the field to work on their own to do Line work. This is a dangerous job when trained, to send people in the field unprepared like this is irresponsible and could potentially result in injuries or worse. Management never admits when they are wrong and are too far removed from what happens in the field to make good decisions.

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.
