Pros

Very strong comp/benefits package, including great tuition assistance benefit; performance based culture that generally weeds out the incompetent quickly; strong emphasis on the customer and conducting business in an ethical way. A leading performer in a growth industry. Senior Mgmt takes a long term view and generally makes sound, business savy decisions; extensive online training offerings available on company intranet.

Cons

Work/life balance is a challenge in certain departments/jobs, especially the retail channel. Pressure to perform / deliver the numbers constantly drives some level of burnout, particularly in the sales functions; like any large company, there is some level of bureaucracy, but not overwhelming.

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.
