Pros

flexible work hours ability to work from home deep budgetary pockets constantly busy with new projects always on the horizon

Cons

minimal incentives for high performance salary increases are extremely rare too much red tape/bureaucracy touts itself as one of the best employers yet pays below industry standards

Pros

- Very large company which offers a great variety of positions and opportunities for advancement. - 3 weeks vacation to start - Work at home options (depending on role) - Laptop (typically management only) - Cell Phone / Blackberry (only some roles) - Learning Assistance (must be applied for and dependent on area's budget)

Cons

- Mistakes at TELUS are not seen as an opportunity to learn. All failures are regarded as business critical, regardless of whether they truly are. - Senior management does not understand work/life balance, even though they pay lip service to the concept. All management employees are expected to work well in excess of 40 hours per week, even if they are able to manage their schedules effectively enough not to actually have to. - Compensation and benefits have been cut year over year and are no longer market leading. Raises at TELUS are all but impossible to come by unless you are in the top 5% of the organization. Unfortunately to be in the top 5% has little to do with actual performance and more to do with whether or not your VP likes you. - Learning Assistance has become very difficult to come by.

Pros

Good benefits Excellent co-workers Work flexibility If you stumble into a good manager, it's amazing, however good managers are extremely rare

Cons

Low morals displayed by upper management (using telus assets/policies for personal gain). Frequent public temper tantrums by upper management Highly politicized with lots of finger-pointing. Taking responsibility, results in firing or punishment Lots of mini-empires "warring" with each other, creates bad policies, and slows real change Management leadership training is fluff, learn by fire or not at all. TELUS treats it's employees like it's customers. If you are new to the company, life is good, if you have been there awhile, nothing...
