SCAM - quit on first day

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

none at all. So awful. SCAM SCAM SCAM. Insane scam. Horrible company, deceiving interviews and employees (who all seem to hate their lives) wanted to get out of there the second I walked in.

Cons

everything. No base minimum wage, which I have been looking into and may in fact be illegal. Advertise as Telus, but really contracted by Telus so you get no benefits that Telus employees do. It is 100% commission based, door-to-door sales. 10 hour days, including Saturdays. They promise amazing growth and insane salaries which is practically impossible with their "pyramid" scheme. They make you feel important and extremely valuable in the interviews. (I was told mine was 'brilliant') when in reality they just want to make sure you're going to accept the job. MY ADVICE TO YOU: stay far away. I love Telus as a company (I have TV, internet, Home phone, and cell contracts with them) but I am rethinking all of that because of this scam.

Sucks pain in the butt job that tricks people into working for them.

Senior marketing consultant

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Oh lots. The best part is that you basically work for them for free. Go to people's house door to door free advertising for telus. They don't pay you nothing. I signed up like 10 customers and only got paid for one. This is BS If you want to be part of a pyramid scam.

Cons

Everything from long hours to no pay. They don't care if you stay or not. Don't want the job just leave. Everyone seems to be in their own group and never talk to me. Like they are all hot shots. Training was very bad. I had to figure out everything myself. The manager just ignores me whenever I have a question.

PYRAMID SCHEME!!!! Dishonest, shady, pushy people work here! Beware!!!!

Junior marketing consultant

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

In the interview they make it sound like your dream job. then your first day you learn all they didn't tell you.

Cons

This is a Pyramid Scheme!!! i thought i was applying to work at Telus, turns out you don`t actually work for the company you think you are, you are a employee of The Acquisition Group not Telus!!! you are a third party contractor that sells Telus products and services, Not a Telus employee!!!! They want you to move to management quickly so u can open your own store and recruit shady people. ie move up the pyramid. 10 hour days, NO BENEFITS!!!, paid by personal cheque, no direct deposit, no base wage, 100% commission, do not pay or reimburse you for gas/parking/travel expenses, no vacation. (This is what you find out the first day when you read the contract the want you to sign as a contractor) They teach you a script and teach you how to be shady, they tell you how to corner someone and pressure them into buying, this is DOOR TO DOOR all cold customers!! you go to a assigned area, get out of your car and go business to business trying to sell. They don't pay for gas or parking! which gets very expensive when you primarily work downtown! Horrible people that don't care about you, only your numbers and sales, they interview 10+ people a day trying to get them in, turn around is insane, most leave after the first shift. During training our trainer left us alone 4 times to do these interviews. so unprofessional. Beware!!! This is not a career! Do not believe them in the interview!!!! This is a third party contracting company that will use u and throw u away the second you make a small mistake!!! Shady, sketchy, dishonest, unprofessional people work here!! This place and company is a complete joke, please don't let them fool you!!! Don't let their lies fool you! Again... PYRAMID SCHEME!!!!!
