Life at USCC

More Than a Culture. A Feeling.
At U.S. Cellular®, who you are and what you do will get others pumped. And vice-versa. Because we share a common purpose regardless of role. And solve problems as a team. Every associate can make a meaningful contribution--and every voice is heard and respected. We call it the Dynamic Organization.

Community Involvement

Building Better Communities – it’s not only what we do, it’s who we are. We invest in the communities where we do business and we show how much we care by donating countless hours of our time, talent and energy to local organizations, groups and causes that we are passionate about.

We support local K-12 and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) educational programming with national relationships with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and JASON Learning. We support more than 50 local Boys & Girls Clubs where our time, talent, and financial resources help to create meaningful impact for the organization’s Academic Pillar. Our work with JASON Learning focuses on developing unique curriculum to encourage students to consider careers related to STEM and provide teachers with the resources to promote opportunities in this field. Our philanthropic strategy with these nonprofits is to engage our associates in volunteer activities and help develop a talent pipeline for future STEM leaders.

U.S. Cellular associates have big hearts—and it shows in our Associate Matching Program. We match their charitable donations to nonprofit organizations dollar for dollar, up to $2,500 per year, with an annual cap of $250,000.

We're in the business of connecting calls—and people. The passion our associates have is on full display every day. You can feel their energy as we volunteer at local schools and nonprofits in our communities. We’re proud to support the passions of our associates as we work toward a goal of 35,000 volunteer hours annually.

U.S. Cellular® offers a compensation package that is comprehensive and customizable: Benefits and Beyond. Concerned about your physical health, finances, and future? So are we. And you can see this commitment in all that we provide. U.S. Cellular extends all benefits to same- and opposite-sex spouses/domestic partners, as well as eligible children of domestic partners and dependents.

Many of our benefits are available from Day One. But when it comes to health and well-being, we’ve got you covered. We offer your choice of medical plans, health savings account (HSA), dental, vision, life insurance/accidental death and dismemberment, short and long-term disability, flexible spending account (FSA), and confidential assistance.

Planning for your financial future today can be a huge help tomorrow. That’s why we offer 401(k) plan with match plans and a 100% employer-funded pension plan. There’s even an associate support fund—which is funded by the company and our associates—for life’s unexpected emergencies and financial challenges.

Work can be challenging at times. Why not make it as fun and convenient as possible? U.S. Cellular offers a business-casual dress code and flexible work arrangements.

We care about you. Not just as an associate, but as a person. So U.S. Cellular offers benefits that enhance life away from work as well. You’ll enjoy paid time off, education assistance (100% for full-timers, 60% for part-timers), and associate adoption assistance.

We live in an era of rapid change and complexity. But the team at U.S. Cellular takes the time to care about you—and your success. We’ve made an exceptional commitment to training and development. That means you’ll receive learning and performance tools, foundational programs, onboarding courses and other resources. Plus, you’ll get training that’s unique to your individual role. And throughout your U.S. Cellular career, you’ll use the Learning Management System (LMS). It includes online courses for professional and personal development, and tracks much of your training history.

Diversity is a core value of our Dynamic Organization. It’s who we are—and who we want to be, as a company. Here’s our mission: To bring different people and perspectives together to collaborate, innovate and grow the business. We’ve created a culture of inclusion. That means our differences are respected, valued and used to build innovative, high-performing teams.

In support of our diverse workforce, we’ve encouraged our associates to form eight corporate associate network groups.
