Pros

Good pay and benefits. They pay double time after working 50 hours. Plenty of vacation time and personal time, if you can ever actually use it.

Cons

If you are in a professional or leadership position, it is hell. They work you to death and tell you that it is not enough. I was a very good, dedicated employee. I practically gave them my life. Things have continued to get worse. I worked with a team of top-performing employees, and we put in a minimum of 60 hours per week. The demands were unreasonable and leadership could not recognize it because they did not have any field experience. We all felt like we were constantly in trouble because we did not give enough. The life that it sucks out of you is not worth the pay and benefits. Please don't drink the kool-aid.

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.
