Pros

There are no longer any positives to working at T-Mobile since the reorganization in early 2007 --- at that time we were told that the company was moving in a new direction. Times change & we needed to change with them --- so they “let experienced people go” and promoted inexperienced people --- not to mention giving the biggest market to a ‘robot’ someone who in no way shape or form motivates his sales team to go out & get others excited. Instead there are always ‘fire drills’ that only amount to causing some of us to see our doctors due to the stress.

Cons

Personal life no longer exists. For a company that advertise ‘sticking together’ they sure don’t practice it with their employees == at least not here on the east coast. We take the on line course regarding only working 8hrs. and if you happen to go over then by all means document it so that you are paid. Well when this does occur management doesn’t want to approve it – they make you feel like a slacker or guilty for having a life outside the company! I am sorry but I no longer feel appreciated -- instead I am constantly faced with the threat of termination!

Pros

This company is great if you are looking for a great work/life balance. The company does not work people to death. You have plenty of time to relax. You can start out with a lot of vacation even in the first year. The company recognizes great performance and puts a lot of effort into celebrating those successes. Working with people at T-Mobile is a very positive experience as well. The company is successful in generating a good team work environment. People are usually very open to help you.

Cons

For a finance guy it can be very frustrating seeing every day how much money is wasted. There are a lot of good things happening at T-Mobile. But if you want to be a successful technology company you need to write software in-house. People have a lot of good ideas about how to improve business and it always stops (or drastically slows down) because the IT department is a protected monopoly. Your are also less empowered at this company than with others. Getting more free time comes at a price - gaining less experience and getting less exposed to new challenges.
