Pros

great benefits, makes it really hard to leave. Make sure you request all your vacations, even those before you get hired. If you get transferred talk to the District Manager to make sure those important days are solid. Even if you're not thinking of a vacation, schedule one up months in advance. Make friends with the senior staff, specially the support staff. They will trade with you important family days (easter, mother/father's day, christmas) for the singles (st pats, cinco de mayo, new years eve).

Cons

Gossip, lack of professionalism, favoritism Its definitely who you know, who doesn't see you as threat, who's friends with who

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.
