      I have been working at Canada Drives full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Amazing people, young atmosphere, life-long friendships. The ability to double or triple your salary within the first 3-6 months. Free food, paid transit and young management.

      Cons

      If you are not used to working hard then you will find the hours to be long. But one thing to keep in mind is you can double or triple your salary within your first year at this company as long as you are willing to do what others will not. This is sales, this means you have to do whatever it takes to hit your numbers even if that means putting in some extra hours.

      Advice to Management

      Keep doing what you are doing!

      I have been working at Canada Drives full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Love working here, hard work is definitely rewarded. Loyalty is definitely rewarded. I've gained a lot of lifelong relationships here, one of the greatest work environments I've ever been in. Time flies at work, never a dull moment. I'm always bragging to my friends about what I do. Love it.

      Cons

      Can't think of anything, it's all good!

      Advice to Management

      Keep it up.

      I have been working at Canada Drives full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Been working at Canadadrives for about a year now (The longest I have worked in a field like this) and I can easily say that that if you plan on looking for a professional environment where you can dictate your income based on numbers YOU produce than this would be the perfect place for you. The workplace is never dull with ever changing music and company activities. One of the things that have kept me here so long is the networking you can build being around so many people who over achieve in many different avenues of their lives. I would strongly suggest this place to any driven individual.

      Cons

      There isn't really anything I can think of off the top of my head. The only thing I would say some people will find as a Con is that if you plan on slacking around and making easy money than this isn't the place for you. But I think that goes with any work place better than an entry level role.

      there are too many to place in this small of a space.

      those in charge are extremely greedy and are constantly demanding more without pay raises
      inconsistent management and office environment
      its hourly pay but stops after 8hs

      I have been working at Canada Drives full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      I have worked here for 5 months now and ever since my first day I've felt welcome by everyone. The company is constantly expanding and there are a lot of people from all ages working here. Out of all these people the majority are incredibly friendly, positive and social which creates a great work environment for everyone. Most of the employees work close with their managers too which gives them a great chance to always learn more and constantly grow.
      In some departments of this company you are able to make a really good amount of money each month if you are willing to work hard. Other than that there are a bunch of great benefits such as free breakfast and lunch everyday, full transit reimbursements, health and dental care etc.
      This really is an amazing company to be part of and I'm happy to go to work everyday!

      Cons

      Sometimes it can get a little too noisy in the office but other than that there's not really anything to complain about.

      Free Food, but just typical sandwiches

      Cons

      They teach you the bases of how to scam desperate Canadians who already has little to offer. If you work here, be prepared to throw your human morals away.
      (Beware to other reviews here, or other websites on this company. They pay for good reviews and also ask employees to do it for them. Either way if you wan't to experience it for yourself go right ahead.)

      Advice to Management

      Karma's swings right around all the innocent people you guys stole from, and harass with calls and poor business ethics, will come bite you back.
