Pros

They do pay well. Good discounts.

Cons

Zero freedom to act. EEs with multiple disciplinary incidents including harassment, racism, theft of time and violent outbursts are never terminated. Peers in the same job title supervise service technicians with no call out requirements. Those supervising splicing technicians are subject to round the clock work with no compensation. This was changed in 2017 with no notification. My check was just short and then came the explanation. A 35 year employee told me he first worked in HR. His first assignment was to sort through applications. The boss told him to toss all the applications that listed public, not parochial schools into the trash. So, when you aren't marked on Ash Wednesday, people notice. Safety and quality are box checking exercises that show no commitment to these ideals

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.
