Pros

The compensation for an entry level job is fantastic honestly with experience you can start off making 15 dollars an hour and if you meet goals (which change every month and is not consistent) you can bonus an additional 500-600 dollars a month if you are a top performer.

Cons

Management sets unrealistic goals constantly. The majority of the employees can not meet these goals and you are required to do a job that consists of every aspect of the business. Customer care deals with billing, sales, new lines, financial care, tech support, etc. You are EVERYTHING. There is no other department. And becoming a top performer can take months of time. Also there is alot of favortism in the call center. Getting promoted is not a by product of performance its about who you know and how much face time you have with the Team managers and coaches. This is a HIGH School environment. Also I have never gone to a job that does not allow sick days. When you are Ill you have NO choice but to go into work or face consequences up to termination for something that you have no control over. Also No upward movement considering that the company is going under. This is the Honest truth people!

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
