Pros

the benefits are better than any where else, the culture and my co-workers, the nature of the business is fresh and exciting and the growth opportunities are great. the communication is great and the internal website is a great place for informaiton. my well being is cared about and the benefits are there for a healthier lifestyle. Telus obviously cares about a healthy workforce.

Cons

a little person in a humongous corporation, sometimes there is a feeling of being inconsequential, the budgetary constraints on non sales units is harsh and seems unfair, even to those that help make the moola. the internal processes take entirely to long and the politicalness of the officeout east is very uncomfortable. if you are member out west you get more opportunities for other thing than out east.

Pros

Work from home and create your own schedule. Paid training. There is an option for therapy through the company.

Cons

They are hiring, but there aren't enough tasks to make the minimum of 10 hours a week. There are no raises and no promotions. They take a long time to respond to emails, if they respond at all. The only benefit is a 401 (k). $14 is the pay rate, and one can only work 20 hours a week, if there are enough tasks. The past couple of exams for training set one up to fail them. I have been doing this job long enough to know this. They constantly threaten your job, which really affects morale and confidence. There used to be bonuses, but they haven't done them in a long time. There were times we were given permission to work up to 35 hours for the week, but again, it has been a long time. Last one, they didn't have enough tasks to allow for workers to get to 25+. They also offered stock options, but they ended that as well. They made a major mistake on my end and threatened me unless I complied. Eventually got an email that they were wrong, but they didn't apologize. I saw they were hiring freelancers with a maximum of 25 hours a week. I wrote to management and was told the rest of us were only staying at 20. I am currently seeking other employment. There are other companies that do the same work with higher pay and actual benefits. This was once a good job, but once Telus took over, it has been downhill. I would not recommend this company anymore. I'm starting to wonder if this isn't a sinking ship.
