Pros

Great benefits. Health care, dental, vision, all good. You do get a nice bonus. You get sick time, personal time, and vacation days. Pay is decent.

Cons

Lay offs every couple of years, never really know who will get hit. Lots of anxiety and stress. High stress job, lots of pressure to meet deadlines. Because of frequent layoffs and condensing of positions each year you seem to have more and more work with less and less people but the pay stays relatively the same. It's a high price for benefits and vacation days...

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.
