TDS Telecommunications reviews

-Old school mentality and constant political battles -Small Bonuses if you're not a tenured employee -Refusal of others to look beyond the "way we have always done it mentality" -Poor middle management and managers who do not have an interest in developing talent. TDS is widely regarded in the Madison area as being a stepping stone for good talent. People who aspire for more often go to TDS for a few years of experience and then move on. I can only speak for myself, but while the benefits are nice they certainly do not make up for poor management, messy systems, and countless other internal problems that seem like constant battles. My best advice to any applicant would be to seriously consider working here and have a vested interest in who your manager is. It is important to truly understand that who you work for makes a drastic difference in your experience, TDS is certainly is no exception.

Do not work for this company if your already working for a telecommunications company. They will lure you in telling you all the good and once hired on tell you all the bad. They will not let you use sick time so what’s the point in having it. The plant and records are horrible! They don’t know what cable pair is working at any house which really sucks. More frogged cable pairs than any other company I have worked for.
