Pros

Most of the people there are good people that want to see you grow. The culture, the old culture that is hanging on, is a good one. People work hard and you are rewarded for your work.

Cons

Beware of HR. They have proven themselves to be untrustworthy and have a very bad reputation in the organization, but they'll never learn about it because they don't want to know and the rule by fear. Personally, I've tested my HR rep by giving them confidential information and my leader knew what I'd told them within 2 days - twice this has happened. They also like to make threats and accusations that are completely unfounded - I've seen this happen to a number of people - usually to anyone that questions them or pushes back. They decide they don't like them and they start working to get them out. I'm not sure if it they are even aware. . . . Be particularly careful of the ER and CP.

Pros

Pay is decent. Benefits are okay if you choose GHC. Which really only works for people living in Madison. 401k is a scam, so why bother.

Cons

Pushing jobs overseas. First was customer service. Then tech support. Who knows what's next. They're literally cutting jobs from the TDS side of thing because they own US Cellular and US Cellular is struggling. Managers give 0 fudges about you. You're just another seat to earn them their bonuses. HR is buddy with the managers because they're friends outside of work and have been working together for more than a decade

Pros

Welcoming culture. Competitive pay. Good benefits. You don't have to do your job if you don't want to

Cons

Don't come to work at TDS if you are an all star or even good at your job. They give a work life balance to their mediocre employees and work their all stars to the bone. You will be expected to carry your team.
