Canada Drives Reviews

Pros

I started working at Canada Drives in February 2018 after immigrating to Canada from Ireland. The company offered a warm welcome, and made my adjustment a comfortable and positive experience.
I worked in the Personal Loans department originally, and was offered a Management position after 6 months.
It is a very motivational environment, with constant encouragement from Managers and peers to advance within the company. My leadership skills have grown immensely and I am grateful for the opportunity to work in such a friendly work space.
I have, and will continue to refer friends to work at Canada Drives.

Pros

When I started at Canada Drives 2 years ago I didn't know much about the company. I started in sales and worked my way up to a team manager. There was a learning curve at first but they did their best to make us comfortable and understand the roles. It is a fun, fast paced environment. My favorite part about working at Canada Drives is the team atmosphere. The company provides great benefits such as paid for team events every month. There is also a fully stocked kitchen, and transit reimbursements. Canada Drives offers the opportunity to make lots of extra money plus they provide you with health benefits. If you have great work ethic and are goal oriented you will succeed at Canada Drives.

Pros

- Results oriented
- Fast paced environment
- Motivating work culture
- Subsidized transit
- Free breakfast and lunch

Advice to Management

- It'd be nice to have more interdepartmental events. Aside from that keep up the good work!

Pros

This is the most lively and welcoming place to work. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with smiles by everyone in the office. The music is always bumping and everyone is always griding. If you are looking for a group of younger individuals who are all looking to work hard and become successful this is the place to work.
Starting only about 10 years ago, there is so much room to grow in this company and looking at the people who have been here long term everyone is so satisfied with the constant movement in the company. It is fast paced, and there is so much money to be made if you put in the time and effort and are eager to learn.
Management is so eager to see everyone succeed and hold training almost daily to ensure we can find any shortcomings we may have.
Located in the heart of coal harbor, there are so many places to go and eat if the sandwich and salad bar are not grabbing your eye at the office.
The teams we work on all go out together and grab food and drinks. The money here is good, but we all stay for the company culture.
The work we do here is also so fulfilling. Every day we are helping customers learn more about what has happened with their credit, how to avoid hurting their credit and help them improve it!
We help Canadians all over the country with financing that they would otherwise be unable to acquire and at a reasonable interest rate.
All of our loans are also set up to report to the Canadian credit bureaus so that our customers can build their credit up to the point where they can walk into a bank and qualify for prime loans at prime rates.

Advice to Management

You guys all work so hard to ensure we succeed, and you all have our backs. Keep crushing it every day!

Pros

I have worked at Canada Drives for 3 years and I have been given the opportunity for growth and success since day 1. The growth in this company over the last 3 years has been tremendous. Management truly believes in staff that work hard, and those that work hard are always rewarded. It starts from the top, the CEO Mike Galpin has given me all the tools I need to succeed in this company, he fully supports everyone, takes time to listen to ideas from staff, and always goes out of his way to do cool stuff outside of work with everyone, the best boss for sure. The overall high energy work environment, great downtown location, make it a great place to come to work everyday. Perks like a fully stocked kitchen and free transit passes are always good as well :) Overall wouldnt want to work anywhere else. I can honestly say you truly have a shot at being successful working at Canada Drives.

Pros

Canada Drives is the first "real job" I have ever had, and I am so grateful for it. I have learnt so much by working hands on with some incredibly influential people, who I am proud to be able to not only call co-workers, but lifelong friends. There has never been a moment where I have hesitated to ask a question or ask somebody for help. Everyone here wants to be able to guide you in the right direction. Working at this thriving company has really helped me discover myself as a person and at a professional level. The buzz you feel from the busy sales floor is electric, it motivates everyone with the same mindset to grind as hard as you can. Everyone at this company has one goal, to be the very BEST. Working with like-minded people is such a breath of fresh air, it makes coming to the office every morning so easy. Any one at this company that works hard is acknowledged not only by their manager but the CEO, Mike Galpin, which is found very rare in companies. Even with his busy schedule he still recognizes his employees endeavors with generous team events and prizes – trips to Vegas, L.A., Amsterdam, etc.!)

This company has changed my life, submitting my resume is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
