Pros

US Cellular has many positions available. In the past they have had a strong associate culture and there is plenty of opportunity to move upward.

Cons

US Cellular was a great company to work for when people were signing up for cell phones for the first time. However, now that the telecom market is saturated and the most common way of obtaining new customers is by winning them over from other carriers, their excellent associate culture has gone down hill quickly and has created a somewhat hostile work environment of mistrust and over cautiousness. The over-cautiousness comes in the form of the CIO, COO, as well as all the IT directors reviewing and scrutinizing every change to production. If they don't receive answers that are acceptable the conversations can turn violent quickly - even for standard changes. There has also been a severe amount of people leaving the country due to these circumstances, and the feeling of job instability both for associates and leaders
