Does not value employees

Pros

Pay rate is above industry standards for telecom field work

Cons

Poor management and unethical management practices. Company repays many years of loyal service with layoffs. Company does not invest money in new technology causing service offerings to lag behind competitors. Medical benefits not very good compared to others in the industry. Little room for growth in field services.

Pros

Company has a long history & is a recognized provider on both the ILEC & CLEC sides of the fence. They have done what they can to launch new technologies such as MIP Hosted solutions & cable TV.

Cons

Working in the offices or maybe as a ILEC sales rep may be a secure career option. However, any employment on the CLEC or "TDS Metrocom" side of the company is very temporary for most. I have witnessed many sales reps work hard for a company that is constantly changing the rules, reps that in the end are terminated & escorted out like a criminal. The average sales position w this company survives 12-16 months at the most.

Pros

Willing to work with you and your schedule. Its an 8 - 5 job with some overtime with weekends and major holidays off.

Cons

Most of the co-workers are lazy, hard to get any new tools or even any tool at all.
