Pros

TELUS is a place where you can grow. If you are willing to work hard the company will reward you. Benifits are awesome and the work life balance is always taken into account.

Cons

There really is no downside, however like I said above, you are asked to work hard and for that you are rewarded, however due to cuts across the board in all industries (not the fault of Telus) the last bonus payout left something to be desired. Then again at least we got something while most didn't.

Pros

Fun environment, opportunity for growth, support for education/growth (you can take courses and there are lots of internal learning opportunities), getting a blackberry device for work, TELUS service discount, flexible work environment. The people are also really great, and it's a positive work environment. Also I believe that if you work hard, in management at least, you will be promoted. You can definitely move your way up the chain in the company.

Cons

Budget cuts (however this is probably happening at 99% of other large companies right now), poor communication of negative news company wide, recognition system isn't great, disorganized structure (again due to the company wide cuts)

Pros

TELUS is a dynamic place to work if you are creative. The leadership is top quality and ones to follow. TELUS pays comptetive salaries and has a great Employee Share Purchase Plan where TELUS puts in $4.50 for every $10 invested by an employee. It is a high performance culture that rewards top performers. They take great care in hiring people and the interview process should be studied by outside companies. The people are fun to work with and after a few years you blead TELUS. TELUS will continue to grow and expand into Eastern Canada which opens up more opporunity.

Cons

TELUS goes through cycles where they have layoffs and it can be hard on moral. The compensation plan can change year by year. So you offer letter may differ from year to year.
