Pros

They have mediocre benefits. Depending who your manager is it can be a decent. They have a few different roles that you can possible go into if you don't like what you do.

Cons

Toxic work culture, HR and management gatekeep promotions based on; likability, how extroverted you are, loud obnoxious people get promoted easily, and very much a popularity contest. Bonuses are monthly but are inconsistent. Metrics are not sales based but you still get in trouble for not focusing on sales. Leadership sucks and demands from everyone even top performers get told they aren't good enough. Constantly told "feedback" is a gift to make sure you don't ever feel accomplished. Constantly pitted against each other to create tense work environments. Forced to do those "Best Places to Work" surveys. Benefits are not as great as they make it seem. The company makes so many mistakes and then makes representatives answer to customer with scripts that gaslight and ignore massive issues like data breeches that allows customers information to get stolen. They constantly tell you they want you to promote within the company and lead you to believe you'll be able to but realistically unless your willing to drink the T-Mobile cool-aid of it being the greatest place ever it won't happen. Biased and Racist leadership is pervasive in the company despite their constant inclusivity talks. The only people who last are on LOA and get to take extended leaves.

Pros

Training and "green days" to work on training courses online, team activities for teambuilding, excellent benefits including up to a 10% yearly bonus (merit-based), tuition reimbursement, extra insurance options besides health insurance (pet insurance, free life insurance up to 1.5x yearly salary), stock purchase options and yearly stock award to each employee. One of my favorite benefits is job swaps - so long as your manager clears it, you can swap jobs with an employee from another related department for up to a couple months to gain insight and experience into what the other department does from day to day. I left my last company as it had become a bad environment, and after joining with T-Mobile I realized it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. There are very few days where I wake up not wanting to go to work, and I learn something new every day. When I come across a process I'm not familiar with, my teammates are more than happy to provide on-the-spot training, or schedule a time that works for both of us to do so. Above all, the managers set you up to succeed rather than to fail - they want you to do well, and do everything in their power to make sure you have the tools to do well.

Cons

There's some of the same political bs that any company has, but my team has two excellent managers that make work enjoyable. There are a couple personality issues within the team, as happens with any job, but overall everyone gets along. As far as training goes, there wasn't a whole ton initially (though I believe it's more due to the nature of the job - it's impossible to condense everything into a couple week training course).

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this -- we love hearing how much you love coming to work! Your words were spot on when you said your team wants you to "do well". That's exactly what we want for all of our team members! The nature of our business is constantly changing and we know how important it is to provide good benefits and equip you with the training and development you need to be successful. We're glad you're taking full advantage of all of it. As we continue to grow and evolve, so will our training and tools. If you ever feel like you're not getting enough of what you need, though, talk it over with your manager and they'll help you get back on track. Thanks again for your feedback and your dedication to T-Mobile. -- T-Mobile Careers Team
