Pros

The customers are wonderful people. The other associates are great to work with The benefits package is nice Free college education (as long as it can be applied to USCC) Free phone once a year and free service Discounts on products

Cons

The changes to our operating systems has been a complete nightmare. Our customers went from not getting a bill to getting doubled or triple billed for services. Personally, I have seen a vast difference in my sales numbers post change. Many people have decided to go with less reception then to feel screwed by their cell phone provider. We are close to completing our first year with the new software and people are still coming in asking about billing issues or who have never been able to get bill straight. Not to mention the other inconsistencies with the program. The unexplained stuck orders, the freezes, the errors, it beyond comprehension. You still have to do an account review and sell a new product to a person with a bill 5x their normal amount. REALLY.....i'm not kidding. Just when you thought things couldn't get worse, our commission structure has been changed. From what I understand, this is the second time in the last few years that this has been done and each time we RWCs can be expected to work harder for less money. So before you work here look somewhere else!!!!

Pros

Great people to work with, enjoyed all my co-workers and their dedication to doing the right thing for the customers and the business.

Cons

Senior Management has no clue how to lead through the conversion to their new billing system. I do not think US Cellular will be around much longer. They are constantly reacting without taking the necessary time to put in a pro-active response and plan together to address the current issues.

Pros

If you were in a secluded area that your ASM doesn't get to often, the culture is great. You can have great managers who shield you from what's really going on. The pay is excellent and the benefits are great. They really reward high performers. They have a dynamic organizational model and used to actually believe in it.

Cons

They don't listen to employees when they scream for help. If you're in a hostile environment, HR will tell you that you're making up stories in your head. If you are working too much and getting burnt out, they don't care. Also, they fire people for no reason. I was not fired, but I saw many people go for things that were completely unexplained. "Your work is no longer needed here" is wrongful termination. From everyone you've fired in the Des Moines area, I can't believe you don't have a law suit on your hands. You can't just fire people because they make more than what you could pay some shmuck. They bring in management from T-Mobile that believes in winning and winning alone, even if it requires you to be unethical. USC used to care about it's customers, now they only care about money. Terrible hostility from management and too much pressure to do more than humanly possible.
