Pros

For the area that I live in, the work is an excellent compensation for customer service. The bonuses are top-notch, and the benefits are excellent.

Cons

The opportunities for career advancement are non-existent. Unless you have ambitions of becoming a management drone, this is not the career for you. Anyone with technical aptitude should look elsewhere for a permanent career. Moving from one department to another is nearly impossible. There is also the feeling that the customer support teams are "second class citizens." The intra-company praise is doled out to the sales teams on a constant basis, while the CS aspects are largely ignored, unless something goes wrong.

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.
