Pros

Good pay compared to other jobs at my level of experience and education at the time

Cons

Upper level Leadership were incompetent morons that constantly used the threat of losing your job as a motivator to sale more plans. Constantly changed the score card to the point where literally every employee from our entire district was on a final and they constantly moved around employees and managers from one store to the other with only 24 hr notice. I almost felt like we were cattle being hurled from one barn to the next with little regard for where we lived and how much more of a commute we would have to make.

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.
