Pros

great pay, flexible schedule, paid overtime, lots of perks and bonuses.

Cons

high stress environment, the expectation is to be #1 at all times, anything less is an opportunity to grow. The position is great for type A, vanilla personalities who fit social norms. If you are alternative, a free thinker, and have a healthy understanding that there is no way to be #1 all of the time, you will not do well with the company. If you are doing well management tends to be embrace and encourage you, which is nice, but be prepared for the opposite if you happen to be less than #1.

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.
