Pros

The pay and benefits are the only pros working for T-Mobile

Cons

Leadership at T-Mobile is horrible all the way up to the CEO. Direct managers micro-manage to the extreme but when you actually need help they are not willing to help. Also T-Mobile is now requiring the C shot which is ridiculous. T-Mobile is all about being inclusive to everyone but there is no way to be inclusive and force medical treatment on people who do not belive in it. Leadership participates in gossip and they are extremely biased. Anyone with a medical condition that you can't see they will treat you badly and gossip about you. It's extremely hard to promote there unless you are a brown noser. Working at the call center is alot like High School, the cliques are obvious. When T-Mobile raised the base pay for all new hires a few months ago they also increased the pay for current employees, which sounds good but it wasn't. It was a slap in the face. For example someone working at T-Mobile for 10 years started at $14 and increased over the years to $19.77. Then the $20 minimum was applied so was given a raise to $20.39 which seems good but now this person with 10 years tenure and experience is only making .39 more than an inexpericed new hire. T-Mobile is desperate for new hires but you can't get hired unless you have the shot so they made it more attractive for new hires but screwed their long time workers. The way it is now at T-Mobile is completely different than it was my first 4 years there. They also say they don't force you to use a script but that is not true they absolutely do force scripts. They also focus heavily on sales more then they do customer service. They keep making the metrics harder to reach so our monthly bonuses are less than half of what they used to be.

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
