Pros

You have telecommunications experience and knowledge and need a job with benefits. and it won't bother you too much to be part of such a poor overall organization.

Cons

The systems are poor and require a lot of manual work by agents to complete tasks. The systems don't communicate with each other where it would improve work production and data accuracy. There is an overall lack of cooperation between different segments, with not much focus on the big picture of what the organization is trying accomplish. Knowledge is horded and not shared, and training is a joke. Even though they talk up the Customer Rules to make customer satisfaction a priority, all the business decisions run contrary to that goal.

Pros

As an industry standard, it is one of the better places to both learn and develop employable skills: technologically in terms of resources and functionality, it is without peer. For one searching for an opportunity to receive one of the broadest and most intensive educations into the communications industry, it is fairly generous in giving its employees a chance to dig in.

Cons

As the company has grown and become enveloped back into a corporate climate, the once-personal feel of the wireless company has returned to the dark and monolithic premise of the all-powerful corporate machine. It has lost many of its previous foundations of employee benefits packages, using words like "competitive" and "industry standard" as a way to conceal that where once it led the pack in terms of employee benefits packages, it now follows the pack.

Pros

The concessions are great, and the people are great. It's a good, central location near a Metrolink station, and there's always something to do. Plenty of opportunities if you know where to work.

Cons

Too much red tape, too much focus on process over product. We outsource too much, and then wonder why our products suck. There aren't many restaurants nearby. Awkward hours sometimes occur due to time zone differences.
