      Good company to work for

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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)

      Dynamic, Fun place to work

      Business Outlook

      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.

      Pros

      Education assistance, great co-workers and opportunity to learn. I have been able to take courses to improve my skills and gain knowledge in a variety of areas. Opporutnity to work from home or participate in employee giving campaigns. Excellent social responsibility programs.

      Cons

      Work life balance is very poor, continual conflict between union and company. Upper management makes it very clear that you need to be putting in a minimum of 9 to 10 hours a day in order to succeed. No one should be sending emails in the middle of the night but that's the way to get ahead. Unrealisitic expectations from management on time management and work loads.
