Pros

The pay and the benefits like free medical, life insurance, tuition etc. Working with the latest technology. There are some good and very knowledgeable direct supervisors.

Cons

Negative work environment, intense micro-managing, management imposed metrics that have little to no relationship to quality or servicing the customer even adequately, poor communication about technology changes that directly impact your work, poor inter-departmental communication at the expense of the customer and associate, poorly designed and frequently unstable software, horrible HR, no allowance for illness or even real emergencies, forced O/T, very poor life/work balance, very high-pressure environment where the bar is set so impossibly high that fewer than 10% of associates even meet the requirements, little recognition for quality work only for quantity work at the customer expense.

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.
