Pros

-Peers are great -Great benefits - Inclusive and legit diversity

Cons

They strive to hide the fact that their employees are just numbers and are expendable. I worked close to 10 years thinking that the company cared then was disposed of when the market got a bit soft. End of the day they value profit over people. They over work their staff, and pay well under what competitors do because they try and push the work life balance and benefits pay for itself narrative. I will admit the health and life benefits are great but there is zero work life balance if you ever want to grow within the company. If you are not willing to work overtime or "go the extra mile" everyday you are cast aside and not seriously looked at for promotions or internal movement. I have been told repeatedly that "You are salary you do not have minimum hours". I will say if you are a person who does not value your outside work life and live by the "grind" mentality, this is not the workplace for you.

Pros

When I started at Telus, I found myself thinking "This is great - I'm going to work here until I retire!". Wages were fair to generous. Raises and promotions were timely.. I worked with a lot of very bright individuals (minimal "dead weight"). The work-life balance was good - I even liked the work

Cons

Well, all good things must come to an end. The perks were pulled back. Raises and promotions dwindled. Most recently, work is being moved overseas. Thousands are being let go. If you're hired here, expect to be competing for your position with people willing to work for a tenth of your salary in some third world country.

What A Mess

Pros

There are some ok people here (although competent people find other workplaces ASAP).

Cons

You can't help these people help themselves. Mostly because executive/upper management is incredibly incompetent. I am in final stages of interviewing for other jobs. There is also no way to grow or advance. Telus Ag is soul crushing for anyone who cares about their work and is a type A go getter.
