Pros

The money. Sort of the benefits but hard to use. Personally went through personal crisis that management was understanding about and worked with me so I could keep my job. The only area I lacked in was making the CST although because of 1 supervisors belief in me I came very close, unfortunately, she died.

Cons

Too many constant changes esp. in methods with 15 minutes at the minimum of training. Had 5 supervisors with varying instructions on expectations and what method was correct. Call serve time so low that customer's frequently expressed dissatisfaction as they weren't receiving what they needed. Many expressed that they would be dropping this company at the end of their contract.

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.
