Pros

Provide 6% matched 401k, Hybrid works. Great Health insurance Education assistance program

Cons

One potential con of working at the company is the perceived lack of diversity within the leadership of the technology department. Specifically, it has been noted that the director, managers, and VP of the department are all from the same ethnic background. This has led to perceptions among some employees that career advancement opportunities may be influenced by racial or ethnic affinity. Additionally, during periods of layoffs, there have been concerns that decisions may disproportionately affect employees who do not share the same ethnic background as the managers. Furthermore, the company has been outsourcing jobs to India, which can raise concerns about job security for local employees. These perceptions can impact overall morale and the sense of fairness within the team.

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.
