Pros

Insurance 401k match Decent work flexibility Plenty of opportunities to grow your career, especially if you're willing to move. Sales leadership seems to be comprised of level headed and understanding people who will help you succeed. It isn't always the case, but no company has perfect leadership.

Cons

Capped commissions (caps are pretty high and this seems to be common across companies, but still annoying if it happens) Leadership is using SalesForce to manage sales activity and forecasting more and more. Not necessarily a con but if you can't manage your sales funnel with this tool, then this job will be stressful. This isn't a position where you sell and hand the customer off to a support team. Sales reps can spend a fair amount of time servicing customers on top of selling. There are avenues to reduce the service burden, but it has always been a part of the job.

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.
