Pros

Outstanding benefits, decent pay, agile company, and typically thoughtful moves made with employees in mind

Cons

As a Senior Manager, you are asked to work 3 Saturdays, 2 Sundays, and to coach up/out poor sales people by using methods that will get you in trouble and leadership will deny telling you these things. Prepare to be hounded on your days off, asked to be on pointless rally calls when you should be getting your store ready to be open, and be prepared to use shady tactics to avoid tripping the wrong banner which looks bad on reporting. Don’t get me started on the absolute sh-show that is customer service, you are essentially defending yourself from customer service mistakes on a regular basis because these 3rd party workers do not care about customer service experience just as Verizon does not ultimately care about it.

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.
