Pros

Excellent pay for the industry. Excellent benefits. If you're in the right position, the work can be interesting. No other pros I can think of.

Cons

Union/management relations are deplorable and they're caught in a never ending cycle of finger pointing. The union tacitly encourages doing as little as possible and management consistently behaves in a way that justifies the need for unions. It's really sad.

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.
