Pros

Good pay and benefits. Great job if you land in the right department with the right people.

Cons

Lousy management. constant reorgs result in mgrs who don’t know the job so they resort the BFF / Inner circle style of mgmt to get their job done. Very cut throat in some depts. Some folks will try to throw you under the bus at every opportunity. Also, constant lay offs. No room to advance...and if you do you advance may be laid off. Last in, first out in most departments

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.
