Pros

Medical, Dental, RSP matching contributions, discounted or free cable services

Cons

Extremely hard to get ahead in this company. Raises, bonuses, and advancement based on a mathematical formula, not on you personally. AHT, Average handle time on calls is the most important factor in this and is king. This is what they base everything on. Pay is below average for the amount of work. Management does not care about you, only AHT. The base salary was higher in previous years, they do not pay as much now. You are expected to work any and all shifts and the scheduling is all over the place, which makes it impossible to work another job on the side. This is intended. The company barely has enough parking for everyone, or enough seats during peak hours, and if you have trouble finding either, they will count you as late.

Pros

Benefits are enough to keep you happy, along with programs for education as long as it's in the budget and purchasing new computers.

Cons

For a communications company, they don't communicate that well. Heavy on the micro-managing and babysitting. Not much of a work-life balance. not very forgiving on family events. Good for giving excuses such as not in the budget when applying for education funding. Strict on policies. Very poor on career advancements.
