TELUS reviews

"You are lucky to have a job here" attitude as apposed to "We are glad to have you". Bad/inexperienced management (mostly bad, unfair, short-sighted). No career advancement. Zero recognition. Spotty training. Unable to get time off as any reasonable company that appreciates employees would allow. It's very common to tell you on a Friday afternoon that Monday morning you have been reassigned and will be working somewhere else. Recently they moved 17 people's jobs to Alberta and gave the current employees 1 week's notice, told them to find their own jobs within the company. Young people if you are starting your career choose some other company.

No career advancement or progression is very slow. Must have lots of patience. The amount of work you do is reflective in your pay. Don't get stuck in a bad position. Do your homework before taking on any position. If you just need a job, then make sure you network a lot. People skills are important here. Technical knowledge in engineering/IT positions are VERY valued. If you have technical and people skills, you will advance in due time. Variable pay is good, but is tied too closely to overall company/market performance which is often out of your control. Benefits were not as good as before. Stock options are gone unless your an executive. Engineers are compensated well (moving up), but has been low compared to the market for the past few years. Turn over is still higher than it should be.
