Pros

Being in the union as customer support agent - the pay and benefits are the best around. $30/hour, free health coverage, pension and 401k is a rare find these days. Especially for a job like that

Cons

The micro managing and lack of communication are very frustrating. As well as the company forced OT policy and the lack of care of people personals lifes is very annoying. I guess this is somewhat normal for a big telecom company.

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.
