Pros

Compensation and benefits are outstanding! If you want to stay busy and sell products and services, this is the right place for you. Great schedules if you perform well.

Cons

Call volume is extremely high. Back-to-back calls all day. As soon as a customer hangs up, you receive another call without time in between. You are required to make offers on all calls with no exception, even if you are dealing with an irate customer. Sales goals are difficult to reach and that is the primary focus of a customer care rep. Extremely high demand from supervisors and management to sell sell sell which makes the job more stressful than it needs to be (on top of stressful customers). Seemed like if you were pals with management, you were promoted regardless of skills or previous experience. There are too many subjective metrics to keep track of and meet, like if a customer calls back with-in 48 hours it counts against you. Customers also grade you and can submit a bad score just because you didn't give them the credit they were demanding which can also count against you.

Pros

You can spend a lot of time to get your job done since nobody really care about it and people just simply point fingers to the others. If nobody blame you, you should be fine.

Cons

T-Mobile doesn't want to pay good for good person. Most design engineers are greatly under qualified (or knowledge and skills are out of date). They are highly depend on vendor supports. Those guys dare to design anything they never knew about to skew up everything. If problem happened, just blame the others. If anything good, please hurry up to take the credit.

Pros

None, except job is easy because they don't let you do anything. In T-mobile, if you are a new comer then be expect to give no responsibility for awhile because you are invariably taking over someone else's responsibility before and they are not willing to let it go. This makes work easy becasue you're not asigned of anything in consequence anyhow. There are rampant jealousy around from the management team that has been there for 5+ years as these crowd are the least capable crowd but held the most management/athourity power in the company. Make every new comers life easy as there is plenty to do but no one is let you doing it, so just relex and lay back.

Cons

Everything, they have great executive team but the VPs and Diredtors whom has been around for 5+ years are old school. These folks refuse to change, can not innovate and are so insucured they often use new hires as their blame rod. See above, the downside ofcourse, is theese crowd invariably blame all the failure on you and since you're new, they'll just have to get rid of you on the blaming game. That's why it seems like they are always hiring, they just need to hire the next fall guy in their linne up so failure can be blamed on the next new hire.
