Pluspunten

Paycheck is good (though I hear the newer younger workers are making less than I would have thought). Benefits are good (even if employee contribution amount is increasing, benefits still good). Bonus amount quite good in recent years. 401K plan options and matching dollars is pretty good (options not great but OK). Training is available and required (good thing .. though it depends if you will ever get to use it). Depending on the job and/or group, job flexibility can be very good.

Minpunten

IT work constantly being migrated to India and other offshore locations. Very little job security for most older IT workers and even for many newer younger hires. Some groups work a lot of hours while groups physically right next to them work much less OT, if any (hurts morale for the workers required to work 50-60-70-80 hours and all hours of the day and night). Wireline side of the house is treated with little respect compared to the wireless side. Layoffs are no longer restricted to those with lower skills or knowledge but more on how much one makes. Company decisions still appear to be political (internally) and short-term focused.

Pluspunten

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Minpunten

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
