Pros

Good benefits, relatively short hours with flexible schedules, several professional development and career development programs are available for employees with good performance records, can expect to receive a bonus regardless of the company performance, though you will not know the amount until the day before the payout.

Cons

senior management makes most of the decisions, jobs are awarded based on diversity targets rather than actual qualifications, people will ask you about billing issues, how to use their cell phone, etc. Performance objectives are not always clear and it is difficult to understand how bonus amounts are calcualted. Unions - every 5 years they threaten to go on strike if they do not continue to get free health insurance, unlimited time off with pay, etc.

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.
