Pros

Company still puts out a quality product and has good name recognition. Benfits are good and pay is in line.

Cons

I think current President of our business unit it too focused on costs to where we have cut and continue to cut into the quality and quantity of the people who help make this company run. In my opinion we will start to see a very negative impact as a result of these continued cut backs. When you nickle and dime the employees you quicly lose their dedication to the company.

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.
