Pros

Famous “Friendly Manitobans” where ever you go in the company. Great people to call coworkers. TEAM is a very good Union which will not give up the fight for fair treatment, collective agreements and ... Fortunately, TEAM (over many fights with the company) has mastered in its ways and has high sensitivity for slightest misdeed (by MTS) and will defend employees to a great extent.

Cons

This place is a Boys club. Everyone higher up is a “Player” and if you are not a good player, you don’t move up. Proportion/percentage of Ethnic, Female and colored people in management positions are undeniably obvious. And higher up you go the worst it gets. MTS will stop at nothing in order to drive up the shares and make itself look profitable. I am talking about multiple human rights violations, unreasonable terminations, creative and old-school dirty tricks to move people around and get rid of them. I could go on and on but I guess you get the idea, don't waste your precious time and life with this company.

Pros

Not much. It's a Manitoba company? Longevity? Nice building on the corner of Portage and Main? This company needs a major shake up at the top or it will continue to stagnate.

Cons

Shuffles front line managers around like monkeys in a barrel; allows same to rise above their capacity, which ultimately hurts the organization and its employees. Doesn't have a real telecommute policy, wants "bums in seats", limited flexibility, no real employee incentives, pay is average unless you are a director or above, doesn't really value employees, gives a lot of lip with minimal follow through. New CEO is babbling the same old spin the only thing that is different is the branding - he wants to be edgy I guess.

Pros

I really wish that I would be able to say that there was any.

Cons

got a target income of $65K with a 70/30 and on a whim changed it to a 60/40 so my base wanted from what I was promised and the reason I took the position to about $6K less.
