Pros

The pay and benefits are very competitive for the industry. The position can offer many types of versatile trainings applicable to many occupations.

Cons

You never can and never will do anything satisfactorily. They will tell you that you are doing "ok", but when you want to get to a different position, they will say your numbers haven't been meeting for quite some time despite the recurring months where you have achieved bonus payouts. If you question them, they give you 30 days to get your numbers to where management feels they should be or they threaten your job. I experienced this first hand. T-mobile also appears to widely discourage the establishment of unions who would stand up for their workers. This alone suggests that the methods of management might be less than ethical, and what's worse is that management might be well aware of said fact. For further information on the topic, visit weexpectbetter.org or lowering the bar (google search). Let's also not forget the lawsuit involving numerous employees (across multiple US call centers) reporting they didn't receive all of their wages. In short, there are some great benefits, but are they worth the other prices you pay? (for the sedentary lifestyle induced by the line of work, or from the stress from customers and management alike)-

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
