Pros

In October of 2015 they reorganized the company, centralized the 21 regions into 5 markets and centralized all controls and decision making. The layoffs will continue into 2016 and rumor is 35,000 jobs in all will be cut and 30% of retail stores closed. I think what I did and what I got paid will be pretty meaningless in the near future. I was with them since 1999 in a variety of operation and finance roles. They took great care of those of us who got riffed but in a few years, I won't recognize what is left of the company.

Cons

Like any big company, they will do whatever serves the shareholders' best interest. Company focuses so much on it's customers, they are losing valuable talent to add a couple of points to the stock shares. Leadership doesn't share long term strategy with the team.

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.
