Pros

Supportive co-workers and a cooperative environment. Innovation and stability, as well as a large presence in a number of fields; wireless, phone, data, corporate and government. If there's something new, we'll be working with it. A feeling that though phone is dying, wireless is doing great and we're moving into delivery area (FIOS) ahead of competition.

Cons

Unsupportive or difficult and unproductive workers seem to be able to camp out and collect pay with no repercussions. Their workload is shifted to other employees who are untrained in that area, or already overworked. Training is infrequent. Little opportunity to advance unless you leave or devote serious personal time to learning new skills. Some promotions occur but appear based more on friendships and politics than skills or abilities.

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.
