Pros

Beautiful new offices, decent wages and convenient location.

Cons

Pathetic team leadership. Only one of five I've worked with was of any assistance. Sporadic "coaching" must include an area that is below expectations even if you are over-achieving in all the required metrics, and this affects all raises, bonuses, and shift bid ranking. We used to be encouraged to check for better plans or other benefits to retain customers but are now prohibited from doing so unless the customer specifically asks. Discrimination (gender and ethnic) and favoritism rampant. Also, even though the offices are less than a year old, it is impossible to use their restrooms as they are constantly filthy and just too disgusting to go into. Some people must go out of their way to be gross.

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.
