Pros

For the most part, there's general goodwill and team work among the rank and file. There are a lot of diverse personalities and experiences at the company and everyone seems to come together to get things done when there's a fire drill (which is very often). The good leaders in the company really do care about their employees and want them to do well in their career - just cross your fingers that you get one of these individuals as your manager - and that there isn't a re-org within your first two months on the job.

Cons

Some of the challenges I have with T-Mobile are probably similar to those I would find working in any large, global company. The specific things that I would caution someone considering T-Mobile as an employer about would include: * Always looking for the quick fix and making knee-jerk reactions to competitive moves * Fire drill mentality 24x7 * Mass confusion amongst the ranks on current strategy, tactics, etc * Constant re-orgs, which increase the perception that the company has no strategy * Similarly titled/compensated employees working vastly different hours 40/wk to 70/wk

Pros

They are pretty flexible if you are a part-time sales rep, but beyond that be prepared to dedicate your life to them. They do allow you to develop your management skills , with a lot of off site and online courses.

Cons

Full-Timers, Key Holders and Managers are expected to be "Team Players" and basically live at work - they always talk about having a work/life balance but they don't live up to their own hype. Favoritism rules here as well - its more who you know and kiss up to rather than actual ability and competence that matter here. Upper management changes directions WAYYYYY to often - its seems like there is a new "focus" every week! and the stuff that was last week's "focus" gets dropped in favor of the new "focus" of the week.

Pros

Great peers. Good benefits / discounts. Starting compensation is competitive.

Cons

Raises are always squeezed as low as possible and over the last few years offset with stock options locked to multi-year vesting terms. Workers deserves compensation for their work's value, and not tied to the company's success in an "ever-changing marketplace". RTO and mandatory in-person work is ridiculous for a telecommunications company. Especially one that prides itself on wireless solutions for customers. It makes it very apparent that it's just used as leverage against the employee when layoffs are looming. The company culture is fostered primarily for the image of the brand and to drive profit. This would be fine if there were follow-through with valuing the employees, however you can go years being told that it's a great company to build your career in, that you're part of a family, and that you have great opportunities, but regardless how loyal an employee is to the company, how many awards you've gotten, and how valued they tell you that you are, you can still get cut in a wide swath layoff because of sweeping changes.
