Pros

Great environment, well organized, nice offices. The company values and organization are great, of course if you're looking from the outside. From the inside it's a different thing.

Cons

Tuition program is a bluff: you have to pay for your entire education and THEN you can start to ask for the reimbursement. This is the main reason I've changed company, and I feel I've wasted my time. The main problem with the Tuition Program is that the salary is not much, and I can't afford to pay for a college fee and wait for them to recognize my expenses. In addition, at least in my position, they've called me day and night, 24-7, without thinking that I'm not a 24-7 employee. My managers don't care about my free time, sleep hours or at least the minimun rest time. It reminded me to some IBM cases...

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.
