Pros

Great benefits! The best I have had at any company.

Cons

Management has the mentallity that the product will sale itself. You are considered just a number if you are not hitting your over inflated targets you will be fired and someone else will be brought in. I was an overachiever but still saw this happen to many well qualified and very good reps. There is no balance of work and personal life. You are told to not do any order entry or even return customers phone calls during the work day. All customers were directed to call centers for support. Anything besides cold calling and sales meeting will need to be done during off hours and we were told to report back to the office after dinner with our families to complete this work. Management also encourages you to use borderline unethical behavior to make sales. I elected to go elsewhere for employment.

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.
