Pros

Great pay and benefits, co-workers are fun to work with. Always learning about new technology with phones and tablets. Great phone discount for employees.

Cons

T-mobile system for payments and sales is too slow. New updates on promotions for phones are given too late. Token code system is too tedious All managers care about is making quota don't really care about the customers Lunch time only 30 minutes you got to be kidding me. Right-fit guide is a complete time-waster if you already know what you are doing. Too much favoritism is shown everyone needs to be treated equal. No Special Treatment! Anything that you need in regards to products you have to wait for someone to get it for you which is a huge waste of time if they are busy doing something and the store is crowded. If someone keeps on calling out of work it affects everyone even people that are off that day so where is the penalty if it keeps on happening! Commission structures changes for the worst! Managers are not open to new ideas and think that they are perfect in every decision that they make. People that are scheduled to close the store should leave within an hour after the store is closed. Two or three hours after is ridiculous!

Pros

Training and "green days" to work on training courses online, team activities for teambuilding, excellent benefits including up to a 10% yearly bonus (merit-based), tuition reimbursement, extra insurance options besides health insurance (pet insurance, free life insurance up to 1.5x yearly salary), stock purchase options and yearly stock award to each employee. One of my favorite benefits is job swaps - so long as your manager clears it, you can swap jobs with an employee from another related department for up to a couple months to gain insight and experience into what the other department does from day to day. I left my last company as it had become a bad environment, and after joining with T-Mobile I realized it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. There are very few days where I wake up not wanting to go to work, and I learn something new every day. When I come across a process I'm not familiar with, my teammates are more than happy to provide on-the-spot training, or schedule a time that works for both of us to do so. Above all, the managers set you up to succeed rather than to fail - they want you to do well, and do everything in their power to make sure you have the tools to do well.

Cons

There's some of the same political bs that any company has, but my team has two excellent managers that make work enjoyable. There are a couple personality issues within the team, as happens with any job, but overall everyone gets along. As far as training goes, there wasn't a whole ton initially (though I believe it's more due to the nature of the job - it's impossible to condense everything into a couple week training course).

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this -- we love hearing how much you love coming to work! Your words were spot on when you said your team wants you to "do well". That's exactly what we want for all of our team members! The nature of our business is constantly changing and we know how important it is to provide good benefits and equip you with the training and development you need to be successful. We're glad you're taking full advantage of all of it. As we continue to grow and evolve, so will our training and tools. If you ever feel like you're not getting enough of what you need, though, talk it over with your manager and they'll help you get back on track. Thanks again for your feedback and your dedication to T-Mobile. -- T-Mobile Careers Team
