Pros

Good compensation, good benefits. Lots of opportunities for advancement or lateral moves to other areas of company. Good paying jobs in retail, especially in more rural areas.

Cons

The higher you go, less opportunity to use accumulated vacation, even if you have a large amount due to tenure. Work/life balance needs work, especially in the retail channel. Changes in commission and compensation structure often changes, meaning huge pay cuts to sales force, but other channels not effected equally. Constant "stretch" goals being set as expectations.

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.
