Pros

pay is great with a great set up, unfortunately there are so many politics that its hard to get what you have earned unless you know someone

Cons

politics, advancement opportunities, for a company that boasts the opportunities you are only awarded those opportunities if you know someone, I have been a top 5 manager in my region for 2+ years and i have yet to be noticed or earned a position that many of my coworkers think i have earned. the position has always been awarded to people outside my channel and does not boast a promote from within. many of the people that were promoted over me fail at their job and are replaced within a year. also the employee is always defended by the company and you will never get a fair investigation in anything.

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.
