Pros

Salary, some benefits, some of the people you meet.

Cons

Very stressful! I found the work environment to be physically, mentally, & emotionally stressful. The company suits only cared about their own advancement and that often comes at the cost of the lower level management & employees. Middle Management was made up of people who either sought their own glory or who were incompetent or who were promoted for reasons other than their abilities.

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.
