Pros

Good pay PTO is generous Tuition assistance Lots of employee resource groups.

Cons

This is the hardest part for managers: Almost no training before you're expected to perform the job. Some teams do help train but it's not a requirement. Many managers just start out doing the job without knowing how. Upper managers can be inflexible regarding what works best for different employees. People who do the best work are rewarded with more messes to fix. No exchange of knowledge from work force that is aging out of the company to the new work force so the next generation has less help, the records continue to be more confusing and they are expected to do much more.

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.
