Abandon hope all ye who enter here - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij UScellular

Benefit cons - stingy PTO policies, not very competitive pay structure. This company is unique in that it is publicly traded, but voting control resides with one family. As followers know, this company divested Chicago, St. Louis and other small markets to Sprint, with the transaction completed in May 2013. This move was designed to allow USCC to focus on their "core" markets - small to mid-size mostly rural markets somewhat underserved by the industry giants. This focus has not paid off in results, with subscriber losses continuing. USCC used to present themselves as the friendly alternative to the behemoths, but due to financial pressures now charge for all the services that the giants do (restocking, ESN changes, etc.,). Also, pricing structures now mirror the industry leaders without the attendant benefits (phone choice, nationwide footprint), etc. Culture - the "Dynamic Organization" which I believe existed mostly in the regions, and not at the home office is just a pretense. Back biting and "throwing people under the bus" is practically an art form. Director level and above are barbarians at the gate, bleeding the company while offering only blue sky strategy ideas that have no chance to succeed. If there is a bright side I don't see it.
