Pros

Great benefits, good training opportunities, and great profit sharing. Management seemed to try to keep a good corporate culture and have employees enjoy working for the company. Generally a belief that a happy employee makes for a happy customer.

Cons

Corporate politics, seems managers always had to be implementing some type of change or improvement all the time to appear effective to their leadership. In the many years I spent here I saw the same failed projects or programs recycled every two years. Alot of times management would present the face of listening to employees, but would disregard suggestions. This is a company that sticks to its yearly game plan regardless of the good or bad outcomes. Lack of promotion opportunities outside of the sales organizations. Unless you are in a HQ market not alot of opportunity to move up the ranks unless you are in sales.

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.
