Pros

Great benefits. Chance to write your own paycheck with commissions. Industry leader it is easy to sell the best.

Cons

Retail hours not conducive for someone with a family. Always changing to stay ahead but never adapt the commission structure for these changes properly resulting in less money. Company makes it so hard to get rid of employees that shouldn't be here anymore. Never recognizing success instead always asking for more and highlighting the negatives first.

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.
