Pros

Great products/solutions Great hard working people Excellent benefits Flexibility to work from home in some groups

Cons

Be careful if you are working in sales. Some groups manage by fear, threats, lies, and upper management will cover for bad middle management hirers to cover up their bad choices. HR and the ethics group aren’t helpful since they are only concerned about protecting the company. Some sales groups are tech boiler rooms. Taking vacation or even lunch is often challenging. Quotas are too high in most sales verticals. Management on many occasions will over commit sales and then lecture and threaten individuals when they don’t make commits due to management over committing them. Management isn’t always ethical. Process is awful. Sales is often chained to their computers to complete difficult processes. To many jobs are outsourced which in most cases produces a terrible outcome for both the customers and sales. Sales often has to clean up issues after mistakes have been made. Resources are often over-worked which can lead to negativity when trying to get pricing, legal and implementation.

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.
