Pros

I don't know if I'll ever find a job that I loved as much as I had working there. (can be) some of the coolest coworkers and leaders (can be) truly amazing. (can be) awesome commissions if you work your tail off. At it's height of awesomeness my coworkers were all my best friends and my leaders would take a bullet for me.

Cons

Just as you learn the commission structure and how to excell at it (I made $70,000 2 years ago)...they go and change it so it dramatically cuts your earnings. On top of that, they make your direct leaders, whom you really really trust and like, lie to you and tell you that its for your good and you (can be) making more money now. Funny thing is, after working almost 15 hours more a week (near 55/week) and 6 - 7 days at times, and achieving 30% more sales,..I saw my earnings drop from $70 to $60...and went insane to make that. If you have the job and love it there....don't go nuts and do whatever it takes to work more hours and longer days - it'll bring you down. You will start to unravel and your success will evaporate.

Pros

401k, health, dental, vision (VSP) are all great coverage. I love my associates and my team.

Cons

We have a billing system that has been struggling to succeed since launch. Upper management doesn't care about associates we are treated like a number. They consistently cut positions to "Control Cost" and expect the management team to be able to pick it up and still have a performing team. They rearranged the compensation packages for everyone and didn't consider the fact that we were making a lot more before. It is a game of politics and Jack would be turning over in his grave if he knew what was happening to this company. We spout that we care about our customers, but really, we care about numbers. What store is giving me the best numbers and if there is a store that isn't performing well, why aren't they? When they aren't you will see people getting tossed left and right. This company has gone down hill. I work more than 50 hours a week and then I take my work home with me. The game for U.S. Cellular is never ending. They add last minute "mandatory" conference calls that we have to be on (again, limited notice). It doesn't matter if it is your day off, you're expected to be on the calls. You have a call twice a week to report numbers even though you report them all day long, every day. The job is redundant, the management team doesn't care, and this company will eventually get bought out by a competitor, or they will lose too many associates due to their treatment of them.
