Pros

Ease of schedule and lack of stress. I was given the opportunity to work from home 2 days a week which was wonderful. The workload was not overly complicated or time consuming. Also, the benefits were very competitive along with an excellent 401k and bonus program.

Cons

No chance for promotion or recognition. The management has been placed in their positions simply because of longevity at a certain position, NOT because of competency. This is frustrating, promotions need to be applied for and are never given. This exposes internal candidates to external competition. Also, the base salaries were not as competitive as other large firms.

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.
