My coworkers were hard workers and we all worked together to achieve are goals.The job wasnt hard at all, the most enjoyable part of it was are productivity meetings, my – more... boss would say the funniest jokes about my manager. – less

Friendly environment focused on productivity
Commission/Credit Analyst (Current Employee), Chicago, IL – May 17, 2013
Pros: flexible lunch hour, open communication, tuition reimbursement
Our department is responsible for contingent refunds and compensation for independent agents that represent our company. A supportive staff that is approachable for assistance makes working at the corporate office easy even though the work is engaging and difficult at times.

It's Up and Downs.
Authorized Agent (Current Employee), Humboldt, IA – May 16, 2013
Pros: employer, co-workers, and customers.
Cons: unsatisfied customers.
Every day I'm learning something whether it's a new program or new phones. Every day is exciting you never what you can get from until it walks in through the doors. My typical day at work, requires me to make sure I'm up to date with the devices, plans, and pricing and of course that I have a positive attitude for customers. I have my days where I – more... know I satisfied my customers and they thank me for my services, and I have my days where I've done I can and am allowed to do but still couldn't satisfy my customers. Working for Us Cellular is an awesome job, and what makes it so awesome is with the people you work with ho keep making the job interesting, and especially be able to work and help customers. Overall it's a great base job and could turn out to be a career for some people, but as for I would to work in a profession that entitles for my future A.A. degree in Political Science. – less

Unfair Company
cashier greeter (Former Employee), north carolina – May 15, 2013
Pros: benefits
Cons: bad management
the only thing that I consider good about this company is the benefits. Management was horrible, apparently knew nothing about employment laws. No regards to single parents, they expect you to put the company before your kids. No job security, I've seen them terminate someone for being late for work due to pregnancy sickness. I think its okay company – more... for maybe a teenager. – less

Great place to work and feel valued!
HR Coord./Exec. Asst. (Current Employee), Chicago, IL – May 14, 2013
A very "meeting-centric" place! A typical day for me would be to check email, review calendars and schedule meetings. Scheduling conflicts inevitably arise so I had to learn how to be creative in resolving those calendar conflicts. I learned that I had to be flexible and proactive, as the way the day/week looked could change on a dime! Other project – more... work filled in my time.

The most enjoyable part of the job was the team that I worked with! My team is awesome! – less

Productive & Competitive Job
Retail Wireless Consultant (Current Employee), Deerfield, IL – May 8, 2013
Team friendly competition and goal oriented work on a daily basis. Different stores have different work atmospheres but in general working with customers and providing them the worlds best customer experience and making them part of the US Cellular family. Could be fun at times or stressful at the same time but its all part of being a part of the sales – more... industry in telecommunications. – less

Johan – May 6, 2013

Another 300 People just got laid off last week! Not because of any excess resources. Sr IT Mgmt is blind to issues, and have the mantra to "Blame everyone and everything else" except their own incompetence causing the exodus, voluntary and involuntary.

Great work environment.
Retail Wireless Consultant (Former Employee), Eastern, WA – May 1, 2013
Pros: great pay, great co-workers, friendly customers, exceptional regional and district managers.
Cons: long work days and weeks
I worked for Us Cellular for about 4 years. I learned so much working there, they really train you well and hand deliver skills that will help you in whatever career you choose. The only downside to working here depending on where you're located you get worked a lot. Expect to work very long hours, many times in the locations near me they were low staffed, – more... the employee churn rate is high mostly because of this. Normally you work about 9 to 10 hour shifts, and if people are out on vacation or someone calls in sick or they lose an employee you will work about 6 to 8 days straight. Management is tough, some managers in some locations have horrible communications skills, however the regional managers are wonderful!! They are always there to solve issues, this company does very well with listening to their employees with any issue you might have so don't be afraid to talk to someone above your leader if you're having an issue that isn't resolved. I luckily while working with Us Cellular had an incredible Store Manager he was the best in my opinion, our small store was always full of energy and charisma. We had really long work days, and extensive work weeks however under the right leader and with the right team it can often feel like home. The customers are normally very friendly and you get to know them by name quickly, expect to have "regulars". Also make sure when applying for Us Cellular you are willing to create you're own customer base, this is a sales position and Us Cellular will only hire the best, do not be discouraged if you're not hired right away keep trying and most certainly stay in contact with the manager because of employee churn positions open fast and fill fast. Be ready to start a career when you begin working here, they have many opportunities, and most leaders are willing and ready to help you succeed. Like I said some managers do not have good communications skills, often one needs to be a leader in their store regardless of rank, this is highly noted by upper level management. Good luck with your application and may you find great success here as I did. – less

Upper Management
Quality Liaison Lead (Former Employee), Chicago, IL – April 28, 2013
Pros: benefits
Cons: advancement in the company is challenging.
Upper management needs to be held accountable the same way associates are. They make decisions that are often costly to the employees and no backlash to them.

There are plenty of opportunities to learn and the benefits are great. The problem is advancing in the company is challenging especially for minorities.

Great place to work
Sales Consultant (Current Employee), St. Louis, MO – April 27, 2013
Pros: flexible schedule
Cons: you have to work weekends and they left the saint louis area
I became certified in the 5 steps selling process. I had a flexible schedule and enjoyed working with my peers. We coached and held one another accountable. I enjoy working with the public and being able to help. The hardest part of my job is not being able to resolve every issue.

Retail Wireless Consultant (Former Employee), Elkins, WV – April 26, 2013
Pros: compensation and benefits
Cons: meeting goals constantly
I learned so much about cell phones. I did everything from running the cash register to cleaning in any given day. I had some really great co-workers. The hardest part of my job was to meet my goal every month. Most people have cell phones and only want to renew their contract.

Fun, rewarding, challenging, evolving, and exciting!
Administrative Assistant (Current Employee), DeKalb, IL – April 25, 2013
Pros: flexibility, being empowered, and benefits
Cons: if you don't know how to manage your time and schedule you're work-life balance can be impacted.
Working at U.S. Cellular has afforded me an opportunity to develop many positive lasting relationships with management at all levels within the organization. I'm empowered to do my job with minimal supervision. Being the main point of contact for my market allows me to remove distractions from our field leaders so they can focus on serving our customers – more... which is our #1 priority. I cannot ask for a better group of people to work for. My co-workers are like family, we support each other, encourage, motivate, inspire, mentor, and help develop others.

I've learned over the years that in order to help produce the kind of prolonged success that this wireless industry demands today we must embrace change. Change is inevitable.

The hardest part of my job is not being able to say no respectfully when my plate is on overload. Because I love what I do I make myself available at all times and even for overtime when required.

The most enjoyable part of my job is being the go to person/main point of contact for our market. It allows me to remove distractions from our field leaders so they can focus on serving our customers which is our #1 priority. Knowing that leaders have a great level of confidence in me to deliver allows me to execute with excellence and with bare minimal direction.

I show up everyday ready to take charge. – less
