reckless, cancerous growth with no foundations - Network Specialist TDS Telecommunications Employee Review

Pros

Consistent schedule and some holidays off. Work from home. There is always a lot of work to do (despite supposedly us needing to 'save money' and staffing so low). Days usually go by fast.

Cons

Let old systems, procedures, equipment rot for a couple decades. Nothing is even remotely efficient or practical for those who do other things but sit in meetings all day. Instead of growing slowly, scaling up in a careful pace, along with training people up on how to work with these newly implemented architectures and guidelines, we're thrown to the wolves and expected to figure everything out, while reckless expansion and buy-outs take priority. Now they fire people because they gotta get bigger faster, and any of the existing markets get treated terribly, or are abandoned entirely. It seems all exciting for these "new markets" but it is all a mess and you'll see that this was all rushed and for a quick buck.
