Pros

Fast pace, never boring Access to training, including tuition reimbursement Ability to make an impact on bottom line Team work with others Health care benefits

Cons

Rewards never commensurate to sacrifice made in personal life, including hours away from family Financial recognition and performance ratings based on bell curve rather than actual results accomplished (i.e. performance reviews are really worthless and do more to hurt morale than to improve it) Never enough staff for work assignments, resulting in 60+ hour work weeks

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.
