Pros

Wonderful benefits along with solid base pay. Commission structure is alright. Vacation is plentiful as long as the numbers are there.

Cons

Number, Number, Numbers...I like selling but if you are not selling or fall on couple hard months see you later. It is the hero to zero mentality every month and it gets old. Need more support in day to day operations. Cannot sell sell sell like they state when I have some much maintenance with existing customers that need help.

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.
