Pros

If you can deal with the culture and are willing to 'put in your time,' limitless growth potential. Big if, though. If you have a low education level, this can be a great place to start a career and develop one - work hard, explore your options, and a lot can happen. Benefits were quite good, and start almost immediately, bonuses even at entry-level posts.

Cons

Endless bureaucracy, incompetent and clueless middle management. Retail customers are a tough crowd at times, which can be very tiring. People often get promoted to one level above their competency, so watch out. HR doesn't care about you in the slightest (they work for VZ), so again, be on your guard.

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.
