Pros

Work/Life balance is very good. Lots of sick, personal, holiday and vacation days, raises, bonuses, profit sharing

Cons

Career progression is non existent. Company follows a "union style" employment mentality, keeping dead wood long past the time to get rid of them. Raises are generally granted based on being alive, no such thing as a true merit increase. Same goes for bonuses. Performance reviews are a waste of time, never looked at. No recognition for performance that exceeds expectations. Company is filled with upper management that is clueless to technology, especially in IT dept.

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.
