Pros

The money was good! The clients were good, management was ok. They have the best online product in IYP and also do search engine marketing. They have good benefits and good prepping tools for sales reps. The training is thorough and the transition to selling is smooth.

Cons

It is a union environment - in sales!! The print yellow pages are dying. There is still a growth objective for the sales rep in print. There is also additional competition - cheaper. Not so good in a bad economy. There are no more company cars and their reimbursment is not up to par. The union contract is up for renegotiation in 10-08. Last time we were on strike for 4 months!

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.
