Pros

There are a lot of professional development opportunities here - computer based training, mentorships, employee resource groups etc. Company pays above industry average. Large corporation so lots of benefits.

Cons

Lots of nepotism. Widespread history of racial segregation amongst employees. No work life balance. Expected to work 7 days a week sometimes. Expected to work on off days. History of mismanagement creating more difficult problems for operations managers today.

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.
