Pros

Great money compared to other companies, but still was under paid given they did not allow us to just be off two days a week.

Cons

No work/life balance. Upper management does not respect your time off. They even called when you are on vacation. Some upper leadership is very condescending and unappreciative. Lots of bullying and inappropriate comments made. Could be an HR nightmare. Force specific schedules based on “policy” but nothing in writing and actually disgruntled employees more to not be able to control their schedules. Very micro managed. Women are not promoted easily due to the Good Ol’ Boys’ Club mentality. Actually the women leadership programs were often made fun of by the male employees and not supported at all. Very hard to get out of retail even when you are qualified with Undergraduate degrees and Graduate Degrees.

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.
