Pros

Great benefits. You get a generous tuition reimbursement. The health benefits are better than 9/10 companies out there. You get a great the opportunity to be surrounded by technology.

Cons

They have a new flavor of the week every week. The work life balance is terrible (it's retail). The industry is so saturated that you feel like you work for geek squad because there's enormous amount of troubleshooting that walk through the doors. It's exhausting to deal with. They need to hire some sort of techs at the store level. Way too many meetings! We were having 3 early Friday morning meetings a month. If you had the day off your still required to come in. If you're single with no family it's a great job, but if you're married and have a family you may want to weigh your options.

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.
