Pros

Good benefits including tuition assistance, 401K, pd Holidays Top notch Training & Development team

Cons

The environment is toxic. They say they're all about team culture but really all they care about are strategic ways to eliminate hard working employees. After 9yrs I quit. Be prepared to increase your stress level by 1000%. Its not worth the pay. Most employees are on anti depressants or some type of FML mental health leave because the pressure from management and customers prevent any reprieve. You'll take abuse daily from customers who will use u as a punching bag and you must find a way to turn their world around or get a negative customer satisfaction survey. Reviews and raises are not about your ability to use the system and provide correct info but instead on how you make the customer feel. So u can do EVERYTHING right and still not perform. You rank is stacked company wide which means you can pass all expected goals quarterly and still be considered poor performance at the end of the year.

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.
