      Consumer specialist (retention)

      Pros

      Great pay, benefits are really goo as well. Some of the people I worked with were awesome

      Cons

      I felt like I was going to a high school EVERY day! The Attendance policy was horrible! Even with a reasonable accommodation if you worked less that your scheduled hours ie 40 a week they would start taking away your benefits! Also one of the consumer specialist managers would constantly Make fun of the advisors...act like a child, and play favorites with his team only! it was absolutely ridiculous and childish. I am happy that I left because there is no reason for that type of behavior. also to tell an advisor that people only come to the consumer specialist team to either stay there for ever or to "die" that is not professional at all.

      TDS is an EXCELLENT place to work!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      TDS has excellent benefits, 401K, and vacation/sick time. TDS has also paid for my continued education! They invest in their employees and their Managers. They want both to succeed. TDS does not make decisions in a hasty manner to be just another company in the telelcommmuncations business. They make decisions and investments they will do well for the future of the business and that is why they have been around for so long! This is why I have chosen to retire from here. If you are a great employee your opportunities will be great at TDS!

      Cons

      The only part I don't like is we can't get all the same services to all of our customers in all of the states that we cover. Sometimes this is a problem. This can also be a benefit because as a decision-maker you just can't always put all of your investments on the line to make 1 or 2 customers in a certain area happy and that is just business.

      Dinosaur: milking the last drops from old technology

      Account executive

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They make a solid effort at sales training. Several non-consecutive weeks of very good quality training at company headquarters. Compensation would be quite good, if they had a reasonable product to sell. Benefits were very good.

      Cons

      Outdated products and services Non-competitive pricing NO LEADS - All cold calling TERRIBLE CRM system: corrupt or no data/little to no history of who called on who. Multiple profiles for one company so rep can lay claim to "new account." No controls. No advertising/marketing. High pressure management: all threats, no support. Reducing customer service and technical staff: again, no support
