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.

Pros

Here's why I love working with The Acquisition Group: - incredibly supportive team environment - tons of career growth - a lot of autonomy, trust, and flexibility - amazing free travel across north america and europe (mexico, vegas, london, florida, texas, toronto, whistler, palm springs, ireland.. etc!) - ongoing recognition, bonus opportunities and competitions - team dinners, parties, conferences and paid training - the clients are great: TELUS, Verizon, Common Good, Inclera, and more - good overall compensation with extra earning opportunities

Cons

Things to consider if you get a chance to join the company: - there's no micromanaging or babysitting - you have to be self motivated - targets can be high, you need to perform under pressure - you need to be a strong communicator and help the people around you - there are busy seasons and work/life balance will fluctuate sometimes - client management can be tricky sometimes

Pros

Great opportunity to grow and develop leadership skills. The culture is very motivating and the environment pushes you to improve every day. If you are hardworking and coachable, there are real opportunities to move up and build your own team. I’ve been here over 6 years and have seen many people grow their careers.

Cons

It’s a performance driven environment, so it’s not for everyone. The pace can be fast and it requires discipline and consistency, especially in the beginning while you’re learning.
