Pros

Pay decent for retail.Decent benefits. Pretty good training programs.

Cons

Favoritism, extreme pressure. Management weak. Retail managers clueless. You could never do enough for this company and the people crushing the numbers are the biggest liars and cheaters in the stores. They talk all day about having integrity but don't practice what they preach. You're trained to mislead customers with clever appoaches like bundling. Horrible work, life mix. Since you're always under pressure to hit unrealistic quotas you practically have to live at a store.

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.
