Nothing special.

What is the best part of working at the company?The only good part was the people I worked with, just to be clear this mean my co-workers not management. What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Management. The manager, who now manages the Fido booth, cannot handle stress and will take it out on the employees. What is the work environment and culture like at the company?My co-workers and I would help eachother out when we could but that was about it. What is a typical day like for you at the company?It was alot of sitting on my butt and making stuff up to customers about the services.

Technical trouble shooting

It was a nice company to work for, colleagues were friendly and supportive. Promotion came easy and leadership seamed interested in your success. Job position was just not right for me

What is the best part of working at the company?Work independently, paid extremely well for how little you actually have to do.

Little to no recognition for your effortsWhat is the work environment and culture like at the company?The company only cares about its bottom line and the union only wants your money. It's everyone for themselvesWhat is a typical day like for you at the company?Do as just enough not to get fired after you realize that working through injuries or going above and beyond means nothing to management or the company

Good People Bad Management

After working there for a few years I was laid off for no reason other than restructuring, the exit interview did not go well. Stay away from Shaw , it looks good from the Outside.

Workplace

Not the best place to work, always short of staff and expect you to go above and beyond for each individual customer when salary is lower than what you do

Diversity and how it looks more important than skills of employees

The employees that move to other departments seem more about ensuring that there is a "face" of diversity instead of actual skills of the employee themselves. Seem to be that how many people of diverse backgrounds are in various roles as apposed to employees that have the drive, skill and experience.The work life balance is low as even when medically injured no modifications are made and expectation is to work at same speed as you would not wounded. No accommodations made for ongoing medical issues even after doctors communication.

Pros

decent pay

Cons

bad management, opts for third party instead of directly employing to save money.

Overall good, some downsides

I worked with some amazing people. The culture was fantastic, truly collaborative. However, the company would sometimes make decisions that didn't make sense and would negatively impact morale.

You'll miss it when you're gone

If enjoyed my time there. Good pay, good benefits and the team was awesome as well. The only downside was the regular restructuring. You never knew what the landscape would be in 2 years.

Great team and leadership

I enjoyed my time with Shaw Communications. Started from 2016 until 2023 when I was unfortunately laid off due to the Rogers merger. Shaw was a great place to work with and I was lucky to have great supervisors during my time.

Productive environment

Good place to gain skill and save time as you work from home. Need to pay better wages. Management needs to be improved. Fast pace and they are always watching you

Was a great company to work for!

I spent 20 years working in various roles for Shaw. They were a fantastic company to work for. Very family-oriented despite their size. The pay was ok, not the high end of the field, but certainly not the lowest. The benefits were also good. Job flexibility was excellent(that's dependent on your manager though). Overall, it was a great 20 years I had, and I will miss it.

Good place to work, doesn't pay as well as other places

Management is approachable. Good place to work. Less friendly now that rogers took over. Was more personal with the culture but is very corporate with rogers. You don't feel heard anymore.

It's a shame this company no longer exists.

The time I spent working for Shaw was fantastic. Leaders were well equipped to strengthen their team, and work-life balance was a priority in the workplace. I learned a lot in my time at Shaw, with plenty of resources provided internally for building various skillsets. The benefits package was among the best I've known about. The people were the best part about working at Shaw, despite being a very large business, there was still a mindset of taking care of each other throughout the company.

Pros

Great people, great benefits, great place to be.

Cons

No longer in business.
