Pros

- Health benefits - Stock grants and bonuses could be, but great effort is made to ensure only the socially valued employees receive them and stay long enough to taken advantage of them.

Cons

The ecosystem does not allow for the delivery of meaningful work - Talk, talk and more talk about changes, but leadership changes, which are frequent, ensure that real change will never occur. 50% off service, and that's it? Finance told me prices were raised a few years ago due to financial difficulties. Not sure how the employee plans were affecting corporate finances, especially considering the product... Emotions & Perception Rule - No value is placed on honestly delivering work and the eggs that are broken each time. Nope. Do not break eggs and ensure time is spent reporting the same data 10 different ways, each of which will change each week. If you are ok showing up to meaningless meetings, wearing your magenta, then you will be fine. If you actually want to accomplish something, forget it. Fake Work Everywhere - Way too many people manage processes, all of which add egregious amounts of time to any effort. Have a car? Forget about parking. Even FTEs are now parking offsite. Cubes are being removed. Hope you like sharing a small table.

Pros

Training and "green days" to work on training courses online, team activities for teambuilding, excellent benefits including up to a 10% yearly bonus (merit-based), tuition reimbursement, extra insurance options besides health insurance (pet insurance, free life insurance up to 1.5x yearly salary), stock purchase options and yearly stock award to each employee. One of my favorite benefits is job swaps - so long as your manager clears it, you can swap jobs with an employee from another related department for up to a couple months to gain insight and experience into what the other department does from day to day. I left my last company as it had become a bad environment, and after joining with T-Mobile I realized it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. There are very few days where I wake up not wanting to go to work, and I learn something new every day. When I come across a process I'm not familiar with, my teammates are more than happy to provide on-the-spot training, or schedule a time that works for both of us to do so. Above all, the managers set you up to succeed rather than to fail - they want you to do well, and do everything in their power to make sure you have the tools to do well.

Cons

There's some of the same political bs that any company has, but my team has two excellent managers that make work enjoyable. There are a couple personality issues within the team, as happens with any job, but overall everyone gets along. As far as training goes, there wasn't a whole ton initially (though I believe it's more due to the nature of the job - it's impossible to condense everything into a couple week training course).

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this -- we love hearing how much you love coming to work! Your words were spot on when you said your team wants you to "do well". That's exactly what we want for all of our team members! The nature of our business is constantly changing and we know how important it is to provide good benefits and equip you with the training and development you need to be successful. We're glad you're taking full advantage of all of it. As we continue to grow and evolve, so will our training and tools. If you ever feel like you're not getting enough of what you need, though, talk it over with your manager and they'll help you get back on track. Thanks again for your feedback and your dedication to T-Mobile. -- T-Mobile Careers Team
