Des Moines, IA (Sept. 16, 2018)

For the second year in a row, U.S. Cellular has been awarded a 2018 Top Workplaces honor by The Des Moines Register. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by research partner Energage, LLC (formerly WorkplaceDynamics), a leading provider of technology-based employee engagement tools. The anonymous survey measures several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.

"Top Workplaces is more than just recognition," said Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage. "Our research shows organizations that earn the award attract better talent, experience lower turnover, and are better equipped to deliver bottom-line results. Their leaders prioritize and carefully craft a healthy workplace culture that supports employee engagement."

"At U.S. Cellular, We focus on providing a consistently exceptional customer experience and a reliable national network to keep our customers connected to their friends and family," said Mike Adams, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in Iowa and Nebraska. "We have a diverse group of Iowa associates in sales, engineering, customer care, human resources and marketing who are proud and excited to come to work and serve our customers every day to ensure that we can meet the high standards we set for ourselves."

"Becoming a Top Workplace isn't something organizations can buy," Claffey said. "It's an achievement organizations have worked for and a distinction that gives them a competitive advantage. It's a big deal."

U.S. Cellular has approximately 730 associates in Iowa. It is home to one of the company's four Customer Care Centers and 34 company-owned retail stores. To learn more about working at U.S. Cellular, visit uscellular.jobs
