Pros

Good place to start a sales career. Very good benefits and tuition assistance

Cons

Long hours Early morning redundant meetings Micromanagement will drive you insane You will not make as much money as they say you will Expectations are too high and/or ridiculous The entire sales process and coaching from management seems too robotic Upper management says that they listen to our ideas and want to help us enjoy our jobs more, then they enforce a score card that could literally have you fired within 2 months for not meeting sales numbers

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.
