Pros

There are no longer any reason on earth to work at T-Mobile.

Cons

You are not compensated. A company who prides themselves on helping people stay connected to their loved ones --- just not their employees! What a bunch of PR B.S.!!! Best Place to Perform --- that's because management, especially the DM's in NY are all a bunch of performers--- tell you whatever you want to hear.

Pros

The pay was better than most companies in the area. The insurance was good as well. Management did the best they could to make the environment as fun as they could to work in. Whenever a customer told a supervisor something good about you, they always shouted it out for everyone to hear. They often had dinners, picnics, and other events to break up the monotony of the day.

Cons

I worked in the call center and it is extremely stressful. Not only did you have to deal with rude customers but the company had expectations that were impossible for nearly anybody to reach. You might take upwards of 300-400 calls in a week and they only scored you on 2 of them and those always seem to be the ones you didnt do your best on. Even if all of the others were good, it didnt matter! When I scored bad on my last 2 calls, I was not even given the opportunity to see what went wrong. Even though our call volume was low, I was still not given a chance to get off the phones to be coached on my mistakes nor was I able to listen to the calls. I was making the effort to correct my error but they did not meet me halfway. In fact, they acted as if they didnt care. Also, when you needed help on a call, support was often scarce as the coaches, management, and senior reps were always pulled away to meetings or they were just standing around talking. Either way, they were often nonexistent. You had to watch how long you kept customers on hold and you were expected to take calls even if your systems did not come up due to problems with their system! They monitored everything you did and it seemed as if they wanted to blame all of the problems the company had on the employees. When they lost the JD Powers award, everything they did was about getting it back even if their expectations were unreasonable!

Pros

The only reason to work here is for the pay and the benefits. At least they try to keep these competative. It will be interesting to see if these remain in tact as the results continue to decline.

Cons

The leadership team does not know what they are doing. They do not provide direction, do not have any desire to lead in wireless, are selfish and manage their teams in silos. They talk about values but ususally only use them to cover up and disguise their real actions. It is easy to be tricked into situations and they love to point fingers and lay blame on those outside their own group or lower level employees.
