Business Outlook
Pros
Great benefits, work-life balance (dependent on supervisor), significantly above-average pay for the industry.
Cons
Recent billing changes have left the company hemorrhaging money and customers, and eliminating positions. At the time of this review (May 2014), almost 30% of retail staff has been quietly eliminated through position elimination (techs, greeters, inventory coordinators). Also, at this time, one third of the store manager positions in the state of Iowa are vacant, as the highest paid leaders have been eliminated for fabricated reasons, immediately prior to the pay scale being lowered. U.S. Cellular is trying to hide the fact that they're stalling off bankruptcy, but the bottom is going to burst at any moment.
