Pros

Considering how much competitors are paying their employees to customer service reps, TELUS is by far the highest paying the cell industry. This not only benefits the employees, but TELUS as well, because there is less of a Churn potential for employees to leave TELUS since they do actually invest alot into proper training. The pay is the best part (except the union dues being deducted). Being unionized is not so bad. When you have seniority developed, there are more options to choose a flexible schedule. If you get the right manager, you are not micromanaged.

Cons

The downside is being able to get a day off when they claim that "service level" are high. If you need an emergency day off, it is very hard to get a day. The people that run the scheduling department, as well as the department that allots vacation is horrible. You can only take vacation in half or whole day incriments, when other company like American Express for their customer service reps, they can book personal time in 15 minutes incriments, and personal time comes first before anything else, over and above the stupid service levels. Telus will not pay for our parking at the scarborough location. It costs 50$ per month to part outdoors in parking lots pretty far, or 80$ per month for underground parking. The amount of money we customer service reps. make the company, and help retain upset clients, you think this could be the least they could do.

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.
