Pros

Has been a great and stable company for 34 years !

Cons

Until I was one of 15k employees in the last round of layoffs. Until they started freaking out about the competition, and then they just started doing knee jerk manuvers to keep business and cutting OT to zero and pinching every penny they tripped over. Even during all of this they kept buying losing company's like AOL, Yahoo, and others, they are very confused right now and most of the employees fear for their jobs and the next layoff.

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.
