Pros

In a time where the economy is dwindling, it is good to know as someone in their 20's, I can still make over $15/hr without any sort of degree. They advertise many different incentives in the call center that you can "strive" to reach. The people you work with are generally fun to be around, and you can joke around with just about anyone. The phone benefit really is beneficial. I appreciate having health insurance at a reasonable rate.

Cons

Upper management is so in their own world, the decisions they make make it so clear that really don't know what we REALLY need. They care about numbers only, and don't really change what matters most. Employee satisfaction is getting lower and lower as they are, in my opinion, focusing more on the numbers than employee satisfaction like they were when I started with the company 2 and a half years ago. It was all about the balance of decisions between the owners, employees and customers and every decision was made through this balance. Now, it is hard to find many decisions with employees in mind. I work in such a small department within the call center we often get over looked and sort of "given whats left" in many different aspects. Our department is ran by a bunch of jokers who, like I said before, don't know what our department needs to be succesful, but make decisions based off of what looks good on paper. The incentives, while great on paper, are in a lot of cases VERY untouchable and only create more frustration and disappointment. Oh, and we now pay additional taxes on our phone benefit that make it a bit less appealing...just the cherry on top.

Pros

Training and "green days" to work on training courses online, team activities for teambuilding, excellent benefits including up to a 10% yearly bonus (merit-based), tuition reimbursement, extra insurance options besides health insurance (pet insurance, free life insurance up to 1.5x yearly salary), stock purchase options and yearly stock award to each employee. One of my favorite benefits is job swaps - so long as your manager clears it, you can swap jobs with an employee from another related department for up to a couple months to gain insight and experience into what the other department does from day to day. I left my last company as it had become a bad environment, and after joining with T-Mobile I realized it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. There are very few days where I wake up not wanting to go to work, and I learn something new every day. When I come across a process I'm not familiar with, my teammates are more than happy to provide on-the-spot training, or schedule a time that works for both of us to do so. Above all, the managers set you up to succeed rather than to fail - they want you to do well, and do everything in their power to make sure you have the tools to do well.

Cons

There's some of the same political bs that any company has, but my team has two excellent managers that make work enjoyable. There are a couple personality issues within the team, as happens with any job, but overall everyone gets along. As far as training goes, there wasn't a whole ton initially (though I believe it's more due to the nature of the job - it's impossible to condense everything into a couple week training course).

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this -- we love hearing how much you love coming to work! Your words were spot on when you said your team wants you to "do well". That's exactly what we want for all of our team members! The nature of our business is constantly changing and we know how important it is to provide good benefits and equip you with the training and development you need to be successful. We're glad you're taking full advantage of all of it. As we continue to grow and evolve, so will our training and tools. If you ever feel like you're not getting enough of what you need, though, talk it over with your manager and they'll help you get back on track. Thanks again for your feedback and your dedication to T-Mobile. -- T-Mobile Careers Team
