Pros

easy job. you get really close to your co-workers if you want to.

Cons

They say there is open communication, but they fired one guy at a nearby store because he spoke his mind. THERE IS NO OPEN COMMUNCATION, you open up about you feel about whatever and they will fire you. They change policies every month it seems, andtheyroll out new requirements for customers every month. Upper management (Executive level) roll out whatever comes to their mind that day and while the people in customer-facing roles deal with the push back and complaints. The commission structure changes 3 times while I was there. Its just chaos all the time and no one seems to care what happens to you as an employee.

Pros

The money is great. If you are a "paper chaser" and self motivated, you will find success here.

Cons

Micromanagement...so much of it. At one point we were required to photocopy our records of customer interactions and hand them in like school children. And questioning these kinds of procedures leads to disciplinary action. In a word, management is ineffective. Most of them seem to be inexperienced managers. Those who aren't are few and far between. The feedback model at US Cellular is an immediate one. For ex, you go through a customer interaction and right after it happens, you get feedback on it. Don't bother asking for clarification on these sessions.
