Pros

Salary seems to be good for some positions. Time off is great - 20 days for a employee with 10 years plus 3 floating holidays plus 5 kincare days plus 1 volunteer day plus 3 personal business days plus 5 sick days. If you like relocation, the available jobs will give you plenty of opportunity to relocate. They do offer a bonus that is significant, but you do not know what you will be bonused on until AFTER the time period for the bonus is pased.

Cons

Management communication is severly lacking. The business plan for the US Services group to support US Cellular networks is not sustainable. The company is activly trying to outsource as much work as they can to lower paying countries. There is a lot of red tape within the company. It is easy for poor performers to avoid their responsibilties and hide. Management only gives lip service to wanting employees to be happy and suceed. In the past two years there have been pay cuts for approximately 10% of the workforce and no pay raises across the board. The billing rate for work done for US cellular companies is below most people's pay rate, so expect more outsourcing and layoffs as well as the requirement that exempt employees work longer hours.

Pros

If you are just entering the Telecommunications field, this is the place to be with projects from the biggest Telecommunication operators in the world, you can master the latest technologies in the field of telecommunications.

Cons

The allocation of resources is not so effective. Employees with less skills in a given field are at a higher level than the ones with more skills in that field.
