Pros

Great benefits, great amount of PTO, Sick Days, Good co-workers, great customers(most of the time).

Cons

Managers that hold down their employees, I worked my butt off for 4 years trying to get promoted, only to be held down by two separate district managers(who were friends), when asking for advice to get promoted, they would sabatoge your work to make it look bad, then tell you that’s why you won’t get promoted. Meanwhile as an employee you believe to yourself you are not worth moving forward because the managers are too busy grooming those who are on their fantasy football league. Lots of conflict of interests, but they have been so intertwined for the last 20 years with the business that they know how to hide their steps. It was very nerve wrecking. Total career killers.

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.
