Business outlook
Pros
1. A family owned company (TDS is owned by the Carlsons) that is trying desperately to avoid layoffs and any negative impact on Associates. 2. The company is very honest in attempting to give the customer the best experience possible. 3. There is an emphasis on excellence.
Cons
1. A recent layoff in Engineering and Operations has created a sour atmosphere for those who remain. 2. Senior Directors have been promoted to Vice Presidents, while remaining workers have been saddled with more work. 3. Directors, and especially Managers, are always vulnerable to the whims of employee surveys (360 degree appraisals) and middle management.
