TDS Telecom Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I'm working as a principal software engineer at TDSTelecom. The company values its employees very much, it understands that life happens for every one. The vacation and benefits are just sufficient."

"I'm a fairly recent hire to the TDS team, and I've enjoyed my time there so far. Depending on your team, you either have plentiful work or not as much work, so if you are looking to keep busy at all times in your job, be cautious of the team you are joining. Overall, the company has nice benefits and all the people are great, as well as the upper management; just don't be expecting a company with "young" culture."

"A fine job. Difficult due to the constant stress put on you by dealing with people's problems. The company itself does a lot of things to make analysts feel at ease and make them happy. The constant QA recordings are expected, but can sometimes be overbearing in terms of sticking to protocol."

"Would have stayed longer but moved away. Decent company, friendly work atmosphere, potential for growth."

"Not good... tons of turnover. This is a phone company not a Sales Organizations They are folding in competitive markets. Not a good place for Salespeople maybe good for admin in Madison."

It was just an accepted part of working on the team to just work with little down time with people to just relax with one another."
