Pros

Tuition reimbursement, half off service, fun work environment. Good pay, commissions, incentives and bonuses are high. Opportunity for advancement if you want to advance in sales.

Cons

Retail hours, heavy sales focus... Very hard if you have a family ..unrealistic goals in sales. Are you willing to do gray area type things to make your goals?? Eventually it happens to us all.

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.
