Pros

-great health benefits -above average pay compared to competitors -401 match (up to 6%) -yearly bonus -market leader -quality training

Cons

-call center atmosphere not for everybody -must take 60+ calls a day which means your held to very very tight time restrictions. -every call scored is based on a "conversation roadmap" (loose scripting) and depending on who is grading your calls, they can make or break you. -must adhere to very strict guidelines with regards to saving customers from canceling service, retaining and adding lines of service, average handling time on calls, amount of time customers can be on hold, amount of transfers you initiate to other departments.

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.
