Pros

What you're paid. In the industry compared to other companies, they pay really well, especially for the location. The benefits are great as well. To be honest, I really enjoyed working with the employees who were on the front lines. It's a hard company to get into, so if you're wanting to go into another area, sales may be the best start.

Cons

The management is terrible for the most part. The good managers are grossly outnumbered by the dimwits. The only thing worse than most of the store managers are the district managers.

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.
