Pros

The people you work with

Cons

Management pretending to care but they don’t. Also begging for 5 star reviews from employees is gross. Don’t make a single mistake or they’ll be looking to hire someone who will expect less money for the same amount of work. Also their “Presidents Club” is just a big popularity contest for anyone who doesn’t have a metric to follow. And if you are an employee who gets bonuses you should know that your manager is only allowed to have a certain percentage of people at the highest bonus rating and the top rating is the smallest so good luck getting that 4 rating! Most will be in the 2 or 3 rating which doesn’t feel great when you’ve been getting 3’s and 4’s in your quarterly reviews throughout the year.

Pros

•People first approach (both employees & customers) •Career advancement (ample opportunities to promote, development from leadership, and continue education options) •Fun and celebratory environment (frequent appreciation events, milestone celebrations, reward programs, recognition, etc.) •Generous benefit package (time off, paid holidays, medical/dental/vision, tuition reimbursement, cell phone plan, and the list goes on and on) •Work from home option •Bonus programs While this list is not all inclusive, it certainly gives some great highlights I have enjoyed in my time with Consumer Cellular. I started over 13 years ago as an entry level employee and have been afforded many rewarding opportunities to advance my career through numerous promotions. What started as an uncertain jump into a new industry resulted in a fulfilling career that I have had zero regrets about. Consumer Cellular believes that happy employees make happy customers, and both are equally important. Because of this, I not only get to enjoy what I do for work every day, but I’ve had the job and financial security to pursue life goals outside of work such as purchase multiple homes, start a family, and enjoy a wonderful work/life balance. For anyone considering, I would highly recommend Consumer Cellular as a place to call your work home!

Cons

I genuinely do not find any cons in working for Consumer Cellular. If I had to share anything remotely close, it would be that the company is top rated in it’s industry and very successful, which leads to rapid growth and a fast-paced environment in pursuit of remaining the best! So, while I do not feel this is a con as this provides ample opportunities for growth and promotions, it may be perceived as one to those who are not a fan of continually evolving their skills.

Pros

I love my job and I mean that from my entire being! I was hired as a supervisor where I mastered my role and was able to promote into the manager role. This is the first place where I feel appreciated and seen. I have a passion for development and coaching and have been able to develop various individuals within the company. Being a part of something bigger than myself is such an amazing feeling. I have my own marvelous testimony regarding working at CCI, but I am also a part of many success stories of other employees. I love my job and the people I work with.

Cons

The only thing I would say is it would be best if we stuck with a process and allowed time to develop good habits. There are often times we change processes so frequently it's hard to track the progress or develop consistency.

Thank you for sharing your insights and for your 3 years of leadership and impact with Consumer Cellular! We love hearing stories like yours, from supervisor to manager, and even more that you feel seen, appreciated, and able to help others grow along the way. Your passion for coaching and development shines through, and that’s exactly the kind of leadership that makes teams stronger. We also appreciate your thoughtful feedback on process consistency and cross-site collaboration. Growth is great, but sometimes even great ideas need a shared vision. Alignment across teams and sites matters, and your perspective helps us keep improving. Thank you for being such an important part of the CCI story!
