Welcome to the Jungle

Pros

There are some good niches if you are lucky enough to land in one.

Cons

In the years I worked at T-Mobile’s US headquarters in Seattle, I found a prevailing ethic of opportunism and survival of the most aggressive. Managers feel free to trespass over what would be bounds in more mature organizations. Coordination and control are fractured, so you can be viewed as valuable one moment and as redundant the next. I have to think that the German parent treats its good German citizens much better than the US satellite treats Americans. Whether you seek a service provider, an investment or a job, do yourself a favor and seek it elsewhere in the industry.

Pros

It's an inclusive work environment. Lots of decent people. I've made a lot of friends here. And while it depends on your manager and role, there's definitely opportunity to leave your lane and make an impact. There's typical big company politics and silos, but they're often navigable. Pretty good paid-time-off policy, especially for a big company.

Cons

The work environment is miserable and is essentially what I imagine a prison cafeteria to be like. Think of a big concrete box, very open, with 100's of desks lined up in row after row after row. No dividers, nothing to dampen sound, no "concentration rooms" to escape to, no common space to go have a personal conversation... if you need to think, or do real work that requires concentration, you'll have to take it home and do it there after hours. It's really bad. There's also no green space, parking is hard to find, bathrooms are overcrowded, there are no standing desks, and the coffee is undrinkable. But... if you like lots of rah-rah speeches from management about how great things are while you're suffering through the work day, this is definitely the place to be.

DON'T GET SICK

Pros

Bonuses are great. Good pay. Benefits/ perks for doing good work/ exceeding metric goals.

Cons

They treat you great in the beginning and will tell you anything you want to hear to make you feel like you are part of the team. But if you get sick, forget it. The company they use for their leave process will deny your claim no matter what and will continuously ask for more paperwork. T-Mobile uses this to to force you out, regardless of your past work history with the company. They don't treat chronic, debilitating illnesses seriously whatsoever. Before I left they were closing multiple departments and just having the phone reps take on the added responsibility without further pay compensation or training to an already overworked staff. They praise the "team of experts" design like it's the next best thing when in reality it causes longer hold times, more customer frustration and more call overflow. A lot of coaches will just tell you to do something but not give you the tools on how to succeed to accomplish the goal (ex. Setting sales goals without giving advice on how to achieve them. Increase survey scores with no advice on to achieve. "Just do it").
