Allstream Reviews

Honestly, this company is the poster child for senior leadership incompetence, greed, and dis-function. I honestly don't know how they get away with paying the former CEO Pierre Blouin $3.5M, and current senior leaders millions of dollars in compensation and then turn around and put 25-3-0% of their employees on working notice, where many long term employees close to retirement get a big fat $0. The Executive Leadership team of this company destroyed it. As quoted in the Winnipeg Free Press article: "In 2014, CFO Wayne Demkey made $1.6 million; Kelvin Shepherd, president of the company's Manitoba operations, made $1.76 million; Michael Strople, president of Allstream made $1.13 million; and Beauregard made $1.1 million."

With all the cuts that have been taking place since Jan 2015, there is nothing more demoralizing than being given a working notice ( working out your severance). The company has no money to pay out a severance so they continue to pay you until your working notice ends. Allstream has reduced their staff by over 25%...So many employees have received notices, which only dampens the morale and spirit around the office. So many talented and experienced employees who knew the ins and outs of the business are no longer there. Expertise is lost, morale is down the drain. Nobody cares to do the work.
