Pros

Great benefits, pay is all right. Obvious great discount on cell bill.

Cons

'Commissions structure constantly played with. More "guidelines" put in place to supposedly help the customer select the right device or plan but massive downsides to commission check if only a very small amount of phones are exchanged by customer. Difficult to take vacations, prorated quota relief given for taking at least three days off for vacation but no more than 5 days relief in a single month allowed, makes planning long trips hard. Sales reps are also told to handle technical problems for customers not just sales or billing inquiries, can become quite time consuming and seems to force a rep to want to get a customer with a phone issue out of the store as fast as possible to allow the chance to find a purchasing customer.

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.
