Pros

Discounts on services and products for yourself.

Cons

The CEO is a thief, he gives all of his close friends and their families FREE services for their home internet, fibre TV service and wireless cell service plus devices at not just their primary homes but his friends business and vacation homes, that some of them rent out with those free services being included as part of their HIGH rent/ lease agreements. Management does not have or try to create a safe work culture. As the amount of bullying is so high that even worksafeBC and worksafeAlberta turn a blind eye to it. The unions are toothless against the company these days. So employees are scared about losing their jobs if they complain about anything. From the sexual harassment to the physical abuse and the excessive mental wellbeing abuse of others be that ones who are identified or not. The company laughs at the stock market laws as they manage and encourage their employees to mark accounts incorrectly so that for every item added to an account even if there is no amount charged, the stocks see such as another customer product/ service order which is how these companies stock price goes up based on these as supposed assets. These have all been reported to the different provincial and federal regulators and or authorities over 20+ years to no avail unfortunately. Not a company that I would recommend to anyone looking for their services or employment these days which is unfortunate as I left the company after 27 years of which the last 7 were absolutely disgusting and heartbreaking for what all the new hires had deal with from lower management to the top management folks. Everyone was simply counting down the minutes until they can retire, find a better job or win the lottery.

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.
