Vantaggi
I think the best reason to work for TELUS would be the way they truly believe in Give where you live. Iknow of a lot of other companies that say that they like to give back where they live but TELUS truly does that. It seems like every time I read the newspaper or everyweek there is something new that we are doing at work to benefit different organizations with the community in which we live and work. That is just a major perk and benefit of working for TELUS. Other amazing reasons to work for TELUS would be the benefits package, the rate of pay, the perks like discounts and sales compensation and recognition plan but best of all would be the people that I work with and work for.
Svantaggi
I think the biggest downside of working for TELUS would be the lack of flexability to balance work and home life. I work a lot of overtime and when I first started I could take my overtime as holidays but that hasn't been an option for over a couple of years. It is very hard to take time off for family events if they are spur of the moment and hadn't been planned when vacation was booked at the begining of the year. The only other downside that I can think of is the difference in shifts. With a home life and a child at home it is very hard for daycare to work a late 12-8 shift or on the weekends.
