Pros

Good 401k, good medical/dental, overall company is decent however this is not a company to grow in as it is landline telephones and old dsl internet which is hard to sell due to cable being much faster and less expensive. The company is trying to stay afloat more than trying to grow.

Cons

Unethical Management, Takes 15 minutes to log into systems in the morning, so either you arrive 15 minutes early or you are late. Managers are in the old school landline days. I have heard bad stories of business management staff bullying team members and forcing employees to quit. Very "clicky environment" You are either friends with management or you are an outsider. Promotions usually only happen if you are in good with management. Lots of qualified candidates get passed over for friends of management. The company in general is decent, HR staff is friendly and professional, benefits are good. The people who work at TDS generally care about other employees. The bad part of this company is the management of front line sales, customer service, and billing.
