A disappointment

Pros

Great teams and people if you can get into the right pocket within the company. Some great programs and courses for no cost. Good benefits plan and very good company share plan.

Cons

To those considering this company from all the advertising and marketing about how much employees are valued, don't be fooled into this. Unfortunately, from my experience, there is not much of this mindset and or day to day as is promoted. I write this in a truly disappointed way and not to bash Telus however moreover, maybe just maybe they will slowly change their ways and values and actually live up to the values they promote to the public and shareholders. My experience has been a brutal one from false promises made at VP level, to even being presented an offer and then only to be retracted with some reasoning of budgets were no longer there. Am I bitter? Yes I am. I put in and my team put in a ton of work only to be reduced to ashes and excuses. I was warned by some great people that have come and gone to watch your back so to speak, the company will just up and fire you when they see fit and call it "Restructuring" to cover their own side. Well nothing further from the truth here. It's really been a let down of an experience since I thought with so much Telus touts in the market and being innovators and doing this and that, it was very far from the truth as I learned very well. I'd call it posturing with no sense of direction. I had a great team and worked with great teams but they all got restructured and moved and so goes the way with this company. The idiots stay and the quality leave or get fired. Use this as a stepping stone but don't expect a wonderful company that cares about your health and wellbeing it ain't there.

Pros

Only convenience of working from home once in a while at mercy of their directors.

Cons

Worst bureaucratic structure, misleading message of innovation and creativity etc all is promoted there. Typical money oriented organization.

Pros

Can't see any, working at Telus has been the worst mistake for my career, there is no place for advancement, slow, bureaucratic, and always only rewarding mediocrity

Cons

Recruiters have told me at several instance how they are bind by contract not to hire full time employees from Telus locking us in at 25% below market rate
