Former Suncom Employee perspective

I worked at Suncom from 2001- August 2003, I loved working for them and enjoyed the small team spirit that we shared in Financial services. I met some life long friends while working there ( Chris, Don, etc). After leaving Suncom I have worked for every major cell phone provider and the team spirit that I loved at Suncom has never been duplicated... Verizon comes close. The problem with Suncom early on was that relied to heavily on Sales and not retention of customers, and that the company execs worked in a totally different state and to me mismanaged company resources.

I hope the very best to all the employees at Suncom and that buyout helps you guys out.

Sorry I have to laugh my friend. You cannot put Suncom and Verizon in the same sentence. Verizon knows how to make money Suncom knows how to lose.

I was speaking in reference to employee morale. Suncom had the opportunity to penetrate the msrket in VA,SC,NC when the Unplan originaly came out, But Mike Kalagoris( misspelled) and the rest of the exec's in PA. drained the company dry. It was amazing to see profits declining but there salaries increasing.

Still, you cannot put Verizon and Suncom in the same category. I do give you the edge though with your great point because they do have great assets in the towers (used to) and spectrum but obviously they failed miserably. Well salaries increase for a variety of reasons so although it is a good point it might not be correlated factually.
