Pros

The benefits are wonderful, commission used to be good

Cons

The quotas are becoming unattainable making commission payout half of what it used to be while goals climb and you do double the work for half the pay. Your job satisfaction depends on your management and through the years I've had the best manager ever and I've had one that will make your life a living hell. Retail hours including working until up to 10PM every night which could make family life tough.

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.
