Pros

Industry leader. Great products and technology. Good benefits. Fast paced, ever changing environment for those that like that sort of thing.

Cons

Very much in a your face sales environment. Constant metric calls and reviews. Felt like I could be fired at any minute. Seems like there is an Ops review every week. Forget talking to management for weeks prior as they prep for Ops.

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.
