Pros

Competition from other stores, zones, and reps is tremendous and keeps you on your toes.

Cons

Starting the first day of the month and looking at your quota reset for the new month, but hey thats sales...sales is tough in general in a saturated market where it is hard to find 40-50 new customers per month and trying to get existing customers to upgrade and spend an extra 40 to 80 dollars more per month in revenue locked for 2 years.

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.
