A great company that has undergone a great many challenges and changes - the Mobile Division.

Business Outlook

Pros

Fabulous employee benefits, exemplary work/life balance, wonderful people and terrific leadership within the North America customer unit. Camaraderie and teamwork was evident everyday. We were family. Pay was above average. Well-respected leadership. Happy environment. Business casual dress code. Everyone had the same goal in mind - to make the mobile business a success.

Cons

Too many people involved in the decision-making. Not enough attention paid to the people doing the work in the trenches and their recommendations. Not enough opportunities for growth within the ranks. Inept HR department - not thought of favorably by employees. Not much in the way of training.
