Pros

Steady pay, good benefits package, climate controlled, in-building ameneties. Great job if you need something that provides good benefits for you and your family/spouse/domestic partner.

Cons

Completely monotonous, little to no individual lattitude with decision making in any respect, completely numbers driven with no human element. I had a time off request for a Tuesday in August that I had submitted 6 months prior. It was not approved until the week before. It's nearly impossible to schedule any length of time off in advance without going through completely ridiculous lengths.

Pros

For the most part, there's general goodwill and team work among the rank and file. There are a lot of diverse personalities and experiences at the company and everyone seems to come together to get things done when there's a fire drill (which is very often). The good leaders in the company really do care about their employees and want them to do well in their career - just cross your fingers that you get one of these individuals as your manager - and that there isn't a re-org within your first two months on the job.

Cons

Some of the challenges I have with T-Mobile are probably similar to those I would find working in any large, global company. The specific things that I would caution someone considering T-Mobile as an employer about would include: * Always looking for the quick fix and making knee-jerk reactions to competitive moves * Fire drill mentality 24x7 * Mass confusion amongst the ranks on current strategy, tactics, etc * Constant re-orgs, which increase the perception that the company has no strategy * Similarly titled/compensated employees working vastly different hours 40/wk to 70/wk

Pros

Family friendly. Work life balance is good. Taking care of their employees is a high priority.

Cons

They have some of the least capable people working there, but these people are well cared for and happy (see comment above). As a company they are WEAKER because they are so nice to all employees that less capable people are not pushed to contribute more or leave.
