Pros

Generally stable, good benefits packages, decent pay. Many talented co-workers so there are good opportunities to learn new skills and knowledge

Cons

Work environment is terrible; to save money, management is cramming more and more people into the same office space, making the environment stressful and counter-productive. Despite obvious detrimental impact on employees, management is continuing the process because, seemingly, they really don't care about the employees Culture is deteriorating quickly; lots of politics and back-stabbing. It wasn't like this before but under the current CEO, things have gone downhill significantly

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.
