Pros

The perk of the job is that TELUS lets you work at any time. They've also added a premium subscription to Headspace and "Employee Benefits," which is helpful if sensitive/offensive content within the work or its repetitive-yet-rushed pace could impact your wellbeing. At random, the team sometimes offers incentives for completing a certain number of additional hours over a certain period (usually not more than 30). Beyond that, the fact that it is a paid position is probably the final benefit of working for TELUS at this level.

Cons

There is no potential for this position to advance or get a modicum of a raise regardless of your time with the company. Getting the job can be considerably challenging when you factor in the time studying their lengthy guidelines for assessing various kinds of content in various ways before passing the timed exam with a sufficient score. Once you succeed, the work becomes increasingly complex as the "client" continues to test more advanced features of their product. Despite how you continuously train on new standards (often without pay), there is no change in compensation, title, or opportunity. Also, you should know if there's any discrepancy with your performance according to monthly (or more than monthly) feedback, you could be placed on an indefinite suspension while your account is reviewed without pay. Sometimes they'll warn you of this, and sometimes you'll find out after a week or two. Sometimes it's not a performance concern, as it seems to happen at least twice per year despite accuracy, always without notice. In summary, this position is demanding and dissatisfying, especially for people who posses the required attention to fine detail, critical thinking and communication, as well as the ability to learn quickly (theoretically and in practice) across an almost infinite number of subjects. It seems like the ideal employee is expected to be an expert on anything and everything that can be sought with a search engine. Finally, you will never interact with management or fellow employees, and this often feels like a strategic move since I'm sure it makes it much easier to replace people to no notice when they can't keep up or expect more from the company in light of its rising standards.

Pros

The pay is good for a remote part-time job. It's not enough to live off, but it's enough to make this position a worthwhile side hustle comparable to a summer job at McDonald's. Part-time with the ability to choose when and how long to work. Just remember to work at least once a week. TELUS is dedicated to improving its employees. Their resources are vast, including guidelines, video guides, and quizzes. They also encourage improvement through feedback and reviews related to your problem activities. The hiring process will show you a day in the life of a rater with TELUS Digital, allowing you to see if the job is for you while they learn what you can do.

Cons

TELUS Digital is pretty strict when it comes to its standards. They want you to meet the time estimate they've applied to each assignment with little margin of error. If you get even one part of an assignment wrong, they will view it as incorrect. If they think you are struggling with an aspect of your job, they will assign you training to improve it. The job has barely any interactions with coworkers or higher-ups. While there are exceptions life employee life showcases and mental health advice, they don't change the lonely nature of the work done as a rater.

Pros

Weekly pay, easy work, flexible schedule as you schedule yourself

Cons

Horrible hiring process, grueling unpaid labor as you study for the exam, they take days to possibly a week to respond to you IF they respond to you, hiring department is run on a hamster wheel and barely have the time to return an email. God awful.
