Pros

Benefits are pretty good. The potential commissions are great if you have above average sales skills. There are managers that care about employees and work with you to improve in areas. Overtime is available during busy seasons.

Cons

New commission structures almost annually add ways of decreasing payouts. The sales process the company wants is very time consuming as you are measured in about 20 or so metrics. Even if you are doing well with commissions and sales, management will find things to hound you about. You will spend much of your time being worried about non-commisionable aspects of sales and if you take the time to achieve those other goals, you will almost always miss your quota (Which means not only is you pay low, management will hound you about missing quota).

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.
