Pros

TELUS is a progressive company that provides opportunity for those willing to work hard and learn the industry. This is not a place to work if you have trouble getting to work on time, don't return phone calls/e-mail, or have issues with following a complex process. TELUS also provides continuous educational opportunities and if you are not a "learner" TELUS isn't for you. The benefits are outstanding (3 weeks holiday to start!) but the pay is only average. On the downside, the office politics and rumor mill run on overdrive at TELUS and the office drama can be overwhelming at times. In all, if you love technology, work well with others, have above average intelligence, and want to grow with a company that is also growing TELUS is for you.

Cons

The job processes are some of the most complex you will encounter anywhere.

Pros

excellent community, great job satisfaction, excellent pay if you are union. however, if you are management, prepare to work for peanuts.

Cons

low wages for management, unionized environment, as management, if you like recognition, you will not get it.

Pros

the people are awesome and a diverse work force is encouraged. the company respects all religions. the company also respects minorities, and all sexual preferances. it realy does care about it's customers. employees are always encouraged to do the right thing, even if it costs the company money. when you screw up its looked at as a learning opportunity even if its detrimental to the company.

Cons

salaries are below average for professionals, lots of politics, business units do not share employees (hard to switch between departments for management without causing political stress). it's a growing compnay that is trying to get away from the old government ownership, and as such, people have a negative attitude towards it. there are lots of growing pains with the transformation to a company that was government owned to a company that has to turn a profit
