Take a look at nothing but horrible reviews for working for this company. Apparently its gone downhill in the past year since their massive restructure and layoffs. That should explain the 2hr waits and 2 week service calls.
Anyone here ever work (or know anyone) whos worked for shaw? I cant believe its that bad but after reading all those reviews wow. |
my biggest problem when i worked for them was the total disconnect from management and staff. at my last position there, if you put my team lead or manager in my chair for a day they would have no clue how to do my job. whereas where i'm at now my team lead does much of the same stuff that i do, and even my manager will jump in and lend a hand if we're short staffed. it's a big reason why they're such a stats driven company in almost every department, management never looks at the quality of your work or what the circumstances were, they just look at the numbers
the pay is also pretty bad, especially in IT compared to other companies. it's very much a family club, if you're able to get close to someone important then you're pretty well set, but your average worker is looked at as expendable. that's why they have such a high turnover in most departments, seeing someone hit their 10 year anniversary with Shaw is an extremely rare thing
