Pros

Underground parking and great cafeteria.

Cons

Wireline management is in a "time warp" in the '60's where VP's and Directors don't speak respectfully to lower levels. Very non-inclusive, fear mongering, talent stifling environment. Changing the cube structure and creating hubs will not make you into Google. Investing in talent management and showing the arrogant and out of touch VP's and Directors the door will keep the good talent from leaving. Spend some money on 360 reviews for Director and VP levels. Ridiculous redundant processes, massive double work, and think they are state of the art.

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.
