Pros

Emphasis on internal promotion and pay in comparison to competition are the reason i accepted the job. benefits, available resources for career advancement, open door policy, etc.

Cons

Mainly retail hours, but that's expected with the position. Overtime is usual, you work more hours than 40 then are sent home early to comply with schedule. That makes you miss opportunities for sales in this position if you stay after for a customer issue then are sent home early later in the week due to overtime.

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.
