Toxic management pushes loyal employees out

Pros

The people you work with

Cons

Management pretending to care but they don’t. Also begging for 5 star reviews from employees is gross. Don’t make a single mistake or they’ll be looking to hire someone who will expect less money for the same amount of work. Also their “Presidents Club” is just a big popularity contest for anyone who doesn’t have a metric to follow. And if you are an employee who gets bonuses you should know that your manager is only allowed to have a certain percentage of people at the highest bonus rating and the top rating is the smallest so good luck getting that 4 rating! Most will be in the 2 or 3 rating which doesn’t feel great when you’ve been getting 3’s and 4’s in your quarterly reviews throughout the year.

Pros

•People first approach (both employees & customers) •Career advancement (ample opportunities to promote, development from leadership, and continue education options) •Fun and celebratory environment (frequent appreciation events, milestone celebrations, reward programs, recognition, etc.) •Generous benefit package (time off, paid holidays, medical/dental/vision, tuition reimbursement, cell phone plan, and the list goes on and on) •Work from home option •Bonus programs While this list is not all inclusive, it certainly gives some great highlights I have enjoyed in my time with Consumer Cellular. I started over 13 years ago as an entry level employee and have been afforded many rewarding opportunities to advance my career through numerous promotions. What started as an uncertain jump into a new industry resulted in a fulfilling career that I have had zero regrets about. Consumer Cellular believes that happy employees make happy customers, and both are equally important. Because of this, I not only get to enjoy what I do for work every day, but I’ve had the job and financial security to pursue life goals outside of work such as purchase multiple homes, start a family, and enjoy a wonderful work/life balance. For anyone considering, I would highly recommend Consumer Cellular as a place to call your work home!

Cons

I genuinely do not find any cons in working for Consumer Cellular. If I had to share anything remotely close, it would be that the company is top rated in it’s industry and very successful, which leads to rapid growth and a fast-paced environment in pursuit of remaining the best! So, while I do not feel this is a con as this provides ample opportunities for growth and promotions, it may be perceived as one to those who are not a fan of continually evolving their skills.

Pros

I started here from the ground up nearly 24 years ago, and I am proud to say I’ve grown into a Management role. This company isn't just a place where you clock in; it’s a place where a long-term career is actually possible if you are willing to put in the work. What I Love (Pros) True Upward Mobility: I am living proof that this company promotes from within. They don't just look at your starting point; they look at your potential. Educational Support: One of the best perks here is their commitment to learning. They offer to pay for college tuition, which is a game-changer for anyone looking to level up their skills without the burden of student debt. The Culture: After two decades, the culture remains the strongest "pro." There is a sense of community and support here that is rare in larger organizations and hard to find.

Cons

Compensation: While the benefits and culture are top-tier, the pay is best described as "okay." It is competitive enough to stay, but there is room for improvement to ensure it keeps pace with the high level of dedication the staff provides. Reward the loyal employee's they will stay forever.
