Pros

The people you work with are the only pro that I experienced.

Cons

The pay is low and the attendance policies are crazy. I made more as a contractor. Took a pay cut to be hired on because I thought there was opportunities there. When presented with Family issues. I was told I should take FMLA. I was amazed at the way management pushes FMLA. For any and everything. I had employees telling me to get with my doc and just come up with something. Really. Then you have Sick time that is earned over the year. It is part of your benefits package. Well, if you give over an hour of notice and use earned sick time. You will be written up for unplanned absences. For using your earned "sick" time. Its disgusting. When you are written up and you ask what to do to get out of the hole. No one has a answer. I guess there is a point scale assigned to every tardy absence or vacation day taken. They dont tell you what the point scale is. They give you no standards to meet. Its crazy.

Pros

TDS is in a great place. The company is growing and expanding. That does mean changes, but they are good changes. There's a lot of room for growth, and if you put the work and effort into your job, you will go far and wide. They love listening to their employees ideas, respond to feedback, and they've even implemented a few ideas from employees. The offer generous vacation pay and sick pay and the the co-workers are super nice. Another plus is you get a fixed schedule. Allows you to plan with your friends and family more often.

Cons

- Company is using dated applications and software. They are upgrading, but it has severe growing pains. - Communicating with other departments... i.e Field, Sales and Repair, is difficult at times. Needs to be improved.
