Pros

Company with good opportunity for advancement. Great benefits, tuition reimbursement, job share for Moms. Leader in wireless industry, service and devices keeps you at the forefront of technology.

Cons

Senior management sometimes requests demands without seeing big picture. Demands are high for results without understanding work involved in achieving them. They require quantity without care for quality sometimes. In addition, I find some leaders do not have the people skills to be effective Managers. Leading by example is not always the case. Sometimes I feel that some management is too insecure in themselves to praise or provide positive feedback to their dirct reports.

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.
