Pros

Best pay in industry in terms of base and commission, benefits also good including solid health care, 401K, tuition assistance, adoption assistance, partner benefits, etc. Lot of promotion from within with typical combination of politics and merit. For career minded and "lifers" this is the best place to be for wireless.

Cons

Pay and benefits cut over time and results demanded increases exponentially. A lot of internal competition with other sales channels including own resellers that create conflict and mistrust. Most importantly, culture exists only in webinars and pamphlets. Employee morale abnormally low and openly ignored to the point of irony.

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.
