Bell Canada is pretty doing good. They mainly compete against Rogers Communications in the fields of Wireless, High Speed Internet, and TV Services. In some ways, they compete but also co-operate to make customers pay more.

good benefits
lots of opportunity to move around if you perform well in your role
employee discounts
there are good leaders within the organization, but not all leaders are the same
Training courses

Cons

compensation varies dramatically from one person to another. in many cases, the manager makes less than their employees and there's no way to change that.
very difficult to remove individuals especially those who have not performed well. simply firing someone is not so simply anymore

Advice to Senior Management

there needs to be something done about compensation and removal of individuals who are not performing well. the process cannot take up to 2 years for something to happen as it seems be that way today.

Pros

great benefits for a part time job, flexible hours, uncapped salary,
industry leader, great technical, team, customer support

Cons

work Schedule has to be properly assigned

Advice to Senior Management

Ask Employe also what they think about work. There advise can be helpful too. Over all its good place to work without any major pressure.

Pros

Used to be an excellent place to work, until Expertech took a 44% pay cut on the last contract, and Bell is trying to cut even more with this contract.

Cons

As an Expertech employee, Cope refuses to invest back into the frontline technicians that have built the Bell network, just to satisfy his own pocket book! Corporate Greed! Stealing from the revenue generators of the company to satisfy share holders.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat your frontline technicans with more respect and come to the realization that we are the people that continually build the network for the end customer. If you continue to cut our wages and more, we will strike back! You won't get the hard work or dedication that has been given to this point!
