Pros

The health benefits and 401k are the best things about working at this company. The overall benefit package is solid compared to the competition.

Cons

It is surprising that the company lacks good process and procedures. Some managers try to address this issue, but politics seem to get into the way. Most career advancement requires being on the east coast. Talent is not developed and you could get stuck doing the same thing for your entire career,

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.
