Minpunten

Morale and work ethic are significantly challenged. If you are hardworking and consistently deliver results, you will likely be relied upon heavily without corresponding recognition or support. Managers often fail to reward or meaningfully acknowledge high performance. Your name is mentioned when something breaks — but when initiatives succeed, others claim the credit. You are given responsibility without visibility, and accountability without authority. In many cases, survival depends more on managing internal relationships than delivering measurable outcomes. Those who attempt to fix systemic problems or take ownership are often overburdened rather than promoted. There is a serious lack of accountability, structure, and operational discipline. Sales, operations, and development do not operate as an integrated organization. Ownership is unclear, handoffs are inconsistent, and execution suffers as a result. Constant reorganizations and layoffs create instability and erode trust. Leadership turnover at the VP and EVP levels is frequent, yet the same structural and cultural issues remain unresolved. Performance does not consistently drive recognition — optics often do. Visibility and internal politics can matter more than measurable business impact. Individuals who quietly rescue failing initiatives receive limited exposure, while presentation and narrative sometimes outweigh execution. I personally stepped into projects that no one wanted to own, stabilized them, and converted them into revenue-generating initiatives. Two of those initiatives later contributed to President’s Award recognition for sales teams. I was neither invited nor acknowledged, despite repeatedly being asked to “fix” struggling programs. Hard work is treated as a utility function rather than leadership potential. High performers are relied upon to solve problems but are excluded from strategic visibility and long-term growth opportunities. Decision-making can be slow, fragmented, and influenced more by alignment optics than business outcomes. Teams operate in silos, and cross-functional execution lacks clarity and consistent accountability.

Pluspunten

Work from home and create your own schedule. Paid training. There is an option for therapy through the company.

Minpunten

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.
