Pros

You get paid every two weeks and it's close to where i live. Very good network. The Insurance dental/vision are decent compared to other large companies. 401k is good.. Ability to work from home. Annual bonus.

Cons

No pension. Benefits cut every year. Multiple layoffs each year. People forced to train their H1B replacements. Very little chance to move between groups or advance skill sets. In IT most new hires are non US. Very little vision of IT. IT functions on chaos - there is very little vision or direction. Too much management leads to red tape and plenty of political battles, wasted effort and wasted $$.

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.
