Pros

Pay is decent, and that's about it. Fairly flexible to get time off quickly.

Cons

Managers have extremely stressful and unrealistic goals and objectives. Long hours also and being constantly tied to the phone make the situation worse. No department has matching objectives so it is impossible to get anything done. Everyone washes hands of issues. Senior management while claim to be working on bureaucracy only make things worse and keep piling work on with no end in site.

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.
