Pros

The benefits (IE medical, dental, etc.) are really good, but what really impressed me was their 401k plan which really benefits the employee by matching dollar to dollar up to the first 5% of each paycheck deduction (I believe). Also, the discounts on phones and service we get through T-Mobile is unmatchable. Basically, the benefits and perks of working for this company are the best I've ever seen. Aside from that, there has been good communication amongst management and the employees. Everyone is provided with an E-mail account so that whenever there's an important update, or any need from anybody, any given problem is addressed quickly. Lastly, the employees are a lot of fun to work with. Not only are they easy to get along with, but when I started, and needed help, they were always there to guide me and address my concern at the drop of a dime.

Cons

When I got hired on, the manager wanted me to have 100% open availability for them, but quite honestly, when you're only going to get 25 hours a week, and you're part time, how can your demand such a thing of your employees? Also, the hiring process that I had to go through was ridiculous. While I can understand that they need to make sure I'm the right guy for the job, is it really necessary to make me drive 45 minutes to a store in another state for a second interview? From the point I got my first interview request, to the point I worked my first day, I believe it was about 45 days.

Pros

Training and "green days" to work on training courses online, team activities for teambuilding, excellent benefits including up to a 10% yearly bonus (merit-based), tuition reimbursement, extra insurance options besides health insurance (pet insurance, free life insurance up to 1.5x yearly salary), stock purchase options and yearly stock award to each employee. One of my favorite benefits is job swaps - so long as your manager clears it, you can swap jobs with an employee from another related department for up to a couple months to gain insight and experience into what the other department does from day to day. I left my last company as it had become a bad environment, and after joining with T-Mobile I realized it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. There are very few days where I wake up not wanting to go to work, and I learn something new every day. When I come across a process I'm not familiar with, my teammates are more than happy to provide on-the-spot training, or schedule a time that works for both of us to do so. Above all, the managers set you up to succeed rather than to fail - they want you to do well, and do everything in their power to make sure you have the tools to do well.

Cons

There's some of the same political bs that any company has, but my team has two excellent managers that make work enjoyable. There are a couple personality issues within the team, as happens with any job, but overall everyone gets along. As far as training goes, there wasn't a whole ton initially (though I believe it's more due to the nature of the job - it's impossible to condense everything into a couple week training course).

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this -- we love hearing how much you love coming to work! Your words were spot on when you said your team wants you to "do well". That's exactly what we want for all of our team members! The nature of our business is constantly changing and we know how important it is to provide good benefits and equip you with the training and development you need to be successful. We're glad you're taking full advantage of all of it. As we continue to grow and evolve, so will our training and tools. If you ever feel like you're not getting enough of what you need, though, talk it over with your manager and they'll help you get back on track. Thanks again for your feedback and your dedication to T-Mobile. -- T-Mobile Careers Team
