Pros

Get to work outside and do some travelling, even though it's to the same places.

Cons

Can not get time off when needed, that includes time to see a doctor. They want to increase productivity but not wages. Have not had a decent raise in over 15 years, we used to make more then Atco but or now $8.00 to $10.00 an hour behind them. They track every thing you do, every where you go and how long everything takes. GPS in the vehicle tells them when you start, where you go, how long you stop, how fast you drive, if your go somewhere your not supposed to be. Telus has now hired efficency experts to try to increase efficency by a whopping 25%. But the real hold up is in the processes. Orders with no assignment, wrong assignment, wrong addresses. Cable records are not updated from lack of time. Bad cable is not replace for lack of funds. At the end of each year, there is a spending freeze, no Over Time, no ordering stock. Customers have been waiting for over 1-1/2 years to get service installed and it's left to the front line employees to deal with the p----off customers.

Pros

Excellent exposure to new technologies and solutions. Always plenty to learn. Many different career paths. Coworkers are great.

Cons

Only way to get a raise is change jobs or threaten to quit. Major accomplishments and achievements will only net you the annual 1-2% increase. In good job markets, this quickly leaves you below fair market value. They constantly brag that they are attracting and retaining top talent, but I've seen little to that affect. In my area, half my team is ready to quit and vacancies usually take over a year to fill. These are management professional positions, not union.

Pros

Flexible and relaxed if you decided to be lazy. If you are under good manager, it's better.

Cons

Overall, since merge with the TELUS landline, the used to be young culture been disappeared. Especially too many process to follow.
