Pros

Salaries are very competitive and you can make a good living. Overall benefits..i.e. Medical/401k/stock/bonuses/tuition reimbursement are fantastic Some nice people to work with

Cons

You are not a person but another object within the company. There is no work/life balance even though they like to say there is. There is a lot of favortism and advancement is mostly based on who you know. The stress is too much because you take work home so you really never have time off. There is very little encouragement or praise. The environment is like being back in high school, too much gossip.

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.
