Pros

The job is very stable. Decent compensation. Financially solid.

Cons

Upper management is disconnected with the employees. Much of the strategic decision making is hard to rationalize logically. Not an environment that supports and fosters innovation. Employee morale is pretty low, which is surprising in fact that comp and benefits are very competitive. The old 'Bell' mentality is still deeply rooted in the company culture. Basically you work because it pays the bills and the job market is not very good. If you are technical, forget about career opportunities.

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.
