A total disappointment

Pros

Only Salary and benefits and Brand recognition.

Cons

High turnover. No time to take advantage of training when you are in sales or professional services. Many employees are doing the work of three people. Constant threat of layoffs, constant reorgs, RIFs have increased to almost quarterly. Overall telecoms are in a state of flux and chaos. Not a great place to be at the moment. Brand hype. Excessive politics. Executive salaries, perks, and bad managers a hard pill to swallow when you see the union strikes and layoffs of dedicated employees. Talk of work-life balance is just that...talk. Overall a great disappointment.
