Pros

medical, dental, 401k these are the only thing that is positive other then the tuition reimbursement ..but It is hard to go to school and learn when you are worn out.

Cons

Sales based on how fast you get through a transaction, not helping the customer. Sales reps galore but everyone just stands around waiting for the customer to come in. It doesn't pay to help anyone unless they are going to buy something and the employees that do end up being let go for not meeting their quota and the ones that go fast and just double talk the customers get the praise.

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.
