Pros

Benefits, medical, dental, vision, life and 401k match incentives, competitive pay, paid vacation, stock options, thorough training program, educational reimbursement. Union support.

Cons

Not all employees are treated equally in job distribution and attendance requirements. Favoritism applies in most departments. Some dispatch clerks earn $5.00/hour more than others based on a previous union contract.

Pros

It was great to always be able to meet and help people. You got to form bonds with customers, take ownership of them in a way. I guess more like the customer took ownership of you, brought you all their business and referred people to you.

Cons

Typical office politics...which only got worse after the Alltel merger. The monthly review and annual review are almost completely unrelated; there needs to be consistency. The key points of the reviews also sometimes are in conflict with the corporate buzz line of the month/year, which sometimes caused a moral dilemma between doing what is right by the customer and doing what will keep you employed.

Pros

You will never be bored! Numerous opportunities to be involved in, and the ability to learn new technologies is definitely there.

Cons

While there are numerous opportunities to be involved in, the problem is that if you are good you will be completely inundated.
