Pros

Good benefits, fantastic team members

Cons

TELUS is a company that is conscious-less, brutal to it employees and only cares about shareholder value and its share price. Sitting in top are narcissistic senior leaders that leach from its employees, leading with a fear mentality (layoffs, being fired, making a mistake, missing their earnings targets etc) that forms a culture of bitterness, poor morale and hopelessness. What is most bothersome is that they tout themselves as company that is focussed on their people, and the communities they work in. They prey on employees that are searching for purpose in their jobs, bragging that they have the most volunteer hours of any company in the world. They don’t tell you that they are constantly cutting their salaries, reducing their benefits, and finding any way to reduce their employees compensation - and any excuse to layoff their longest tenured employees. How’s that - you work for 29 years at Telus as a loyal employee and are “rewarded” by an early layoff to avoid a pension, with the bare minimum buyout package. Telus is a brutal employer wish incompetent leadership who are too afraid to challenge their CEO or stand up for their people. Shame on them!

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.
