Pros

Cellco offers excellent pay and has some of the best benefits in the industry. Cellco's compensation structure is far above the industry average. It is not easy to get a job with Cellco and there is a very long screening process. Meaning, usually only very strong candidates are hired. Cellco store environments are highly professional and dress code is strictly enforced, which I think customers appreciate. Cellco also gives very good pay raises. If you are willing to relocate opportunities for advancement can be quite good. Cellco also offers some of the best tuition assistance in the wireless industry. Most Cellco employees are very proud of the work they do.

Cons

Cellco pays a lot of lip service to coaching and employee development with very little follow through. Many employees are thrown to the wolves the second they get out of basic training. This can be very difficult for employees who do not pick up things as quickly or who may need a little more personalized training. Cellco is also a very HR friendly company and it is very difficult to get fired. This is extremely frustrating for the hard working employees who see other employees slacking off with very little consequences. Wireless customers also tend to be very demanding and have a high sense of self entitlement. This can be very unpleasant to deal with and it becomes taxing after a while.

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.
