Pros

The pay is fair for the work that is expected. You get either a free or cheap cell phone bill/ handset.

Cons

No recognition for a job well done. Recognition is not consistent. It consists of working hard for great stats and if you're lucky enough to win a draw for a "hidden stat" you may receive recognition. Otherwise there is no general recognition for doing your job well on a daily basis. Communication is not up to par. Management does not communicate on a regular basis things that are important to your development in your role. Sure they'll send out an email to let you know that Service Levels are low, but nothing imperative to your career development especially monthly meetings to coach you on such career development (which often get canceled due to Service Levels). Also, working to solve issues with client's that have devices that you have no access to (ie: working demos or emulators) can make for very frustrating and sometimes embarrassing troubleshooting.

Pros

The pay is better than all over call centres, which makes it hard to leave, but at the end of the day do you want somewhere that pays less and makes you happy or pays more and you hate it. TELUS makes you have good pay cheques but not much more. Benefits are great if your full time/part time, but if you're temporary your out of luck and a lot of people are temporary staff member for a long time. You get 40% discount on phone or internet service at home if you work at TELUS and use TELUS services.

Cons

The wrong employees are always recognized, whereas hard work goes unnoticed, favortism in the office place is very accurate of TELUS. The shift work, the night shifts, the random days off cause a lot of tiresome days/nights, as you switch between early to late. Managers are all chummy chummy with other managers, so you can never go to anyone else and expect what you said to be confidential. There are only 25 people in my department so needing specific days/hours is very difficult. In the summer, I was stuck working nites 5 weeks in a row which seems unreasonable and unnececessary.
