Pros

Great Benifits such as medical, dental, vision, full pay short term and half off cell phone bill. Pay is great, above local and national averages for equivalent positions ms at other companies.

Cons

High stress. Difficult to meet quotas. “ Hero to Zero” mentality. Win an award one month and next month be on write up. Many different products you have so sell or face disciplinary steps. Several products launched half baked and you are still expected to sell. Local management has their hands tied on policies. Must know someone and be willing to relocate for advancement. Micromanagement very common.

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.
