Pros

Working in the mall and girls. The hours are flexible, so it gives me time to pursue my other passions, including completing my schooling. In my particular case, I'm still enrolled in a local junior college, and I have high hopes that some day, I will earn enough credits and good grades, that will allow me to propel myself to the next level - either a state college or university - hooray. Whether I will want to stay in the cellular/communications industry, that has yet to be seen.

Cons

Working in the mall, not sure how much room there is for growth. How much transferable job skills am I really gaining when I'm selling cellphone plans to random strangers trolling through the mall?... It makes me wonder about my long-term career prospects.

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.
