Pros

T-Mobile is one of the best places to work in the city I live in. Whenever someone asks me where I work I take great pride in telling them. They do a great job with letting you know when they are proud of the work you do. The leadership is great and always there to help you whenever you need it and however you need it. The pay is great, and they regularly look at statistics of other similar companies in the area to make sure they have competitive pay and give us raises accordingly. T-Mobile is a pay for performance company, so your hourly rate as well as bonuses solely depend on how much effort you put into the job. At your peak, you could be making upwards of 800-1100 a month extra above your hourly pay just for the various bonuses and incentives surrounding performance. They have a "best place to work" committee and take suggestions extremely seriously and in most cases you will see a change based on feedback very quickly from small things like can openers in the lunch room to big things like serenity rooms and holidays off. Most recently, almost every holiday we get off.

Cons

The job itself is not so fun. Dealing with angry customers and being on phone calls just about all day is strenuous and tiring. T-Mobile knows this, and throws money at us to stay. At times, T-Mobile does have its "corporate" attitude towards some things as far as being extremely picky with the smallest things. A lot of the time things are done or decisions are made without having any kind of why behind the what. One goal or aspiration is "leaders coach and develop leaders," but when you try to voice your opinion about things that arent working, or give constructive critcism its more looked at as complaining than criticism. You cant say anything negative without it showing up on your review and losing you money. You have to be a different person at work than in normal life. You must always be "gung-ho" T-Mobile otherwise you will never move up in the company.

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
