Pros

benefits, some pay rates-based on your degree

Cons

Must use a very rigid call flow to sell to each and every person you speak to- missing one of these steps will get you a ticket to the unemployment line! "team leaders" don't know the job so they are worthless- there is a union, they collected dues out of each of my checks but did NOTHING to support or aid in saving my job. Upper management is as clueless as they come- riding around on a segway while the reps talk angry call after call- its non stop you don't get a breathe between calls! You get "personal time" to use the restroom- if you go over 10 minutes, they actually come looking for you! Its all dog eat dog and sell something whatever means necessary. Also there is a real problem with favoritism, if you didn't make your goal, your "team leader" didn't know you were alive. Asking for support or additional training to improve was also asking for your walking papers.

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.
