Pros

enough good colleagues to make a day survivable great place to learn how NOT to do business (the best practices you learned about in school ain't happening here) good benefits plan safe and free of harassment or bullying of any kind as far as i can tell

Cons

all of the comments about bad management are very true, unfortunately everyone for themselves - need to protect yourself and don't expect any real help to make things better too much micromanaging by managers who are out of touch with how things really are on the front lines within and outside of the company unbelievable political games and egos and greed ungrateful managers who expect people will do 'whatever it takes' in the hope of getting a bonus at year end too many unfilled positions throughout the company that drive high workloads on remainder more integration with Bell is making things worse pays the bills but that is all.. no hope for the future at this company as competition increasing yearly high staff turnover for all reasons cited above, as well as the fact that some people stay to get their pension and others stay to pay off their relocation assistance.

Pros

Being located in the North, Northwestel is a large employer by comparison to other local companies. At the same time, it is small enough where you can know most people in the company and it truly does feel like a family or small community.

Cons

Northwestel is a company in transition due to ongoing changes in the competitive landscape. This causes alot of shifts in strategy and focus, which can be frustrating.
