Pluspunten
I had some excellent, hard working co-workers who make great things happen in spite of the seemingly insurmountable challenges discussed below. Although I was proud to volunteer in the community as a Telus employee, I don't feel their often touted commitment to volunteering makes up for the leadership style and culture I experienced. Organizations should fully live their values internally as well as externally.
Minpunten
In my experience, at a Director and Senior-leader level there was bullying of direct reports, a command and control/“do what I say” culture and approach (regardless of experience or expertise), gender bias, sexism, absentee leaders who manage up (and rarely - if at all - support their peers or direct reports, don't think they need feedback, lie as needed and are enabled by leaders above them), and lack of meaningful discussion or tolerance for varying perspectives and spirited debate – partly due to fear of repercussions. Functions that should support ALL employees (such as HR and similar) are antiquated, broken, biased, influenced and not trustworthy!
