Pros

-Private healthcare, sports card -If the right people like you you can get an easy promotion

Cons

This place is filled with incompetent leaders and I have never seen such toxic environment in my whole career. The former management tried to motivate agents through fear. It was an regular topic on leadership meetings, not some accidental outcome. This resulted in bursts of productivity and a large number of people leaving or going on mental health sick leave due to stress. After the "fear" leadership was removed Telus sent a new manager who made a promise that all the mental health sick leaves will be investigated and retaliated towards. I believe the above story tells why I wouldn't recommend working for this company. Teamleads receive zero training, so it's common that they put faith in their team members based on gender, physical fitness, race, religion or anything apart from actual competence for the job. There's very little support, possibility for career advancement, there are cases of sexual harassment, mobbing and all sorts of bullying. I cannot press this enough: this is not a healthy environment, you can find way better jobs for a similar salary. Stay away!

Pros

Working at TELUS wasn't completely unbearable. There are some true leaders there who work hard to make a difference. It is difficult to name many reasons why working here was positive so I will leave it at that. Real people on the front line and lower management carried that place, TELUS is unworthy of them.

Cons

They preach on and on about embracing change. They change things from week to week and day to day. There was rarely time enough to learn new processes and put them into practice to effectively make change before they were changing things again and always holding people accountable for not knowing up from down. Changes were made without critical thought, it's like they threw ideas in a hat once a week and whatever they pull out would rarely last long before they were on to some other doomed to fail process. Leaders are held deeply accountable for team members behaviors, performance and even attendance. As a leader when you are given a team of 20 some odd low paid team members to try to teach and develop and keep them excited about the work you are asking them to do, work that is always changing work that is criticized and held against them when the process itself is flawed. You quickly lose the team members respect for the job. There is very little development, if you are promoted you receive the most basic of training and are expected to know policy from top to bottom. You are set up to be the fall guy, so when the higher ups need to justify their paycheck they blame the team leads and team members failure. This place is run by ignorant senior leaders. They don't care about the people, development or support for people struggling to adapt to their every whim. I wasted 5 years there and I regret it deeply. That's on me. Wasn't always this bad, pre pandemic there was so much about this company that set them a part from other call center like jobs. They have given up on caring about their people and just want bodies in a seat to bill their clients for as much as they can and everyone is expendable. Honestly if you are desperate I get why you would apply, but get it and out as quick as you can. I am ashamed this place is on my resume.

Pros

remote work flexible scheduling good for work/life balance no real supervisor to report to

Cons

took months of taking tests and jumping through hoops to even get hired in the first place no advancement opportunities aren't always tasks available when I'm available to work pay may be competitive compared to other AI companies, but the pay is still low little/no feedback on work performed no real supervisor to report to if you need or want help you never know who is going to respond to your email request when I did ask for help using the one email address we were given, the help was not helpful and rarely were my questions answered a joke of a wellness program (give us health care instead please) they can fire you whenever they want and not give you any reason whatsoever about why
