Pros

Great benefits / stock share / pension plans

Cons

The only way to get a raise is to change departments. There's always a reason to give you the minimum bonus even if you meet and exceed all your performance objectives. They'll lay you off at the drop of a hat to out source work to India.

Pros

Alot of time off if you work in a 24/7 type position, with a compressed work week you can get between 3-6 days off between shifts, and night shifts are very easy and a good time to get alot of personal things done, like coursework, projects etc etc.

Cons

Totally incompetent upper management. They are like vultures, if they see something doing really well, 4 VPs will try to split it up so they can have a slice of the pie and end up screwing up very badly support-wise.

Pros

I receive training on the job pertinent to what I do. My wages are very good. The benefits and compensation are excellent. I have a great work environment with very good hours and scheduling. Advancement up the corporate ladder is only limited to what you want to achieve and how ambitious you are. TELUS will pay for furthering my education upon completion and passing of the courses I take. I can be a shareholder in the company if I choose. There are many many departments and areas that I may move to. TELUS supports learning and career development. TELUS recognizes a job well done. I take pride in my customers and ensuring they have a very positive customer experience.

Cons

The biggest downside to me is having a union that is not working with TELUS and a union that doesn't care what I think. They seem to undermine my future. Sometimes there are too many hoops to jump through when you are trying to get something done for a customer. Hiring contractors to install services for TELUS customer's that don't care about the final customer but care only for getting paid to say a job is complete when it isn't either complete or done satisfactorily.
