Pros

Nice people to work with in immediate areas of work. Fairly comfortable environment to work in. Good medical benefits.

Cons

Very few job advancement opportunities; a very closed system. Mid to upper management does not leverage the knowledge and experience of personnel who have come in from other companies with more experience. Very frustrating when one cannot fully utilize their skills and talents.

Pros

Even with the bad that I know of them, upper management for Cellular South is top notch with great vision and dedication. The company is very involved in the local community and benefits are pretty good. The majority of people are very easy to work with. The company has been growing extremely fast recently so growing pains are a part of the game, but it is great to be a growing company in a down economy. Technology seems to be on the cutting edge of telecom business and is on par with other national carriers. Upper management has been altering the business based on year-end surveys and that has been a big plus in my book.

Cons

The southern charm loyalty to long time employees is keeping true talent from being seen and heard since many of the old timers play the “cause I’m the boss” card rather than comparing ROI and true business needs. Employees are scared to use the internal feedback email address because HR tends to be part of the bureaucratic problem that sometimes equates to a stab in the back. Expect to be at work at or before 8a since arrival time is monitored electronically by HR and late employee reports are sent to your boss. I had a co-worker get in trouble for an 8:02a arrival time which seems like HR treating him like a 5 year old. A good experience here is departmentally specific and based on whether or not you trust your boss to defend you.

Pros

The benefits and stability of the company.

Cons

Very little recognition of any kind. Very little room for advancement. Not able to go work for another cellular provider without having legal action taken. This allows cellular south to keep employees from makeing the same pay as other company's.
