Pros

The pay is decent and the benefits are decent.

Cons

If you don't play office politics and get in good with your coach and go drinking and partying with them, then you become a target. They will then scrutinize everything you've ever done. They do not share knowledge with you, there is no central knowledge that everyone shares. It's every man for themself. The senior reps and coaches are rude and disrespectful. They are insulting and try to make jokes of people that are their subordinates. The management team makes this a horrible place to work. The reps dress like they are street workers and the dress code is not inforced. The building is in shambles, the tools you need never work, test phones don't even work or are non existent when you need them. If you work a weekend and need to take a Friday Saturday or Sunday off, good luck. You give back to the company your time and they don't reciprocate. Work life balance is a joke unless you get in good with someone you work with. Inconsistent scoring from coach to coach so you never get a fair shake unless you're in tight with someone. Leaders coach and develop leaders is a joke because your coach doesn't want you to be successful. There are very few coaches that live the values up there. Upper management is slimey and will smile in your face one day and then stab you in the back the next. It's worse than highschool or melrose place drama, it's a madhouse. They don't want to admit they need to do layoffs, so they find any reason to get rid of people for the most ridiculous of crap.

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
