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.
