Pros

The benefits, they are instant, the day you are hired.

Cons

Scheduling is a nightmare, you must be available 7 days a week. Schedule changes every week. You have to fight for vacation, if someone puts in for vacation/personal day before you, you may not get yours. If store closes at 9:00pm and manager has things to do, you could be there for hours longer, you just never know, you can't plan on your time off. Quotas unrealistic, and of course set by management. Worst job experience ever!

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.
