Pros

Convenient location just off of The Strip

Cons

Very little job security and really high turn over which is done on purpose to keep wage costs low. Unreasonable attendance policies ensure your eventual termination with cause. Very low pay increases if you ever get one at all. They are terrible about waiting months to give you a 10 cent an hour raise you worked hard for, if they remember to give it to you at all. EXPENSIVE insurance and no job security. Six figure bosses who pay less for their benefits than underpaid employees. Find a decent job because it's not here.

Pros

There are no pros to working here.

Cons

Telus Las Vegas is the most unprofessional place I have ever worked. They are a third party call center for two well known companies. There is literally no dress code, people come to work in what looks like pajamas, flip flops, slippers, etc. They give you used headsets, the employees have blankets and there have been numerous bed bug outbreaks in the time I have been there. In the training they provide, everything is misspelled, incorrect grammar usage (ex. Wrong use of to, too and two as well as there, their and they're). The knowledge base you use in the computer system is also comprised of this incorrect grammar and spelling. The employees literally play cards with one another in between calls, yell across the room and use profane language loudly. The team leaders don't care, nor does the upper management. Telus has lost previous clients due to the unprofessional nature of their call center reps and I have no doubt they will lose the clients they have now once their contracts are up. The human resource representatives as well as the "recruiters" will tell you the wrong salary, so make sure you get your salary in writing. The HR department is another joke. They only have one set of bathrooms for over 400 agents and they are DISGUSTING. Bottom line, if you are desperate for a job, work here until you find another. That's what most people are doing, unless you enjoy coming to work in your pajamas and blanket with your bed bugs......

Pros

Pretty competitive pay depending on the campaign, and they have a benefits package, even if it isn't all that great.

Cons

I've worked at Telus going on two years now. I've spent that time pouring myself into the position, doing everything I could go improve things for our customers and my colleagues. I really thought that the company cared about their employees. I was drinking the kool aid. I finally opened my eyes and realized that we were all just s bunch of numbers to them. Good agents are getting the will go succeed kicked out of them by mostly indifferent leadership. Sometimes you'll get a lead that knows what recognition is, but if you ever want praise for your work then you'll mostly be out of luck. They preach these Telus Values, "Embrace Change" being chief among them. That's code word for deal with it and quit complaining about the ridiculous procedures and bull we bury you in.
