Pros

It's almost impossible to be fired. (As a manager tho this means you have no control of bad apples destroying store moral, creating toxic and hostile work environments for your team. HR does absolutely nothing to support you...)

Cons

They used to be customer focused but ever since the Sprint merger they have gone downhill. Corporate greed has taken over. They push crazy sales quotas, expecting huge market growth with almost zero tools to help. The tools they do offer cannot seem to get you the supplies needed to run the many different pop up events they expect you to run outside your store. When review time comes there is no sympathy for the lack of support, they expect results. Terrible scheduling system that doesn't work properly. They have an AI auto generated scheduler that sucks. You take all this time to put in employees availability and it still schedules outside their available times. Also it often will not even schedule enough closers or openers (2 are required every day). To make matters worse you are only allowed to make 10% changes on the schedule or they dock you on your performance metrics. It's impossible to achieve this btw. I had to remake the schedule almost completely every week despite constantly telling upper management that it's terrible. I would send in screenshots of the before and after so they knew I was only making needed changes to meet their own requirements and I still had about a 30-40% change rate every week.

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
