Pros

Be honest, I joined because the job sounded enticing, like: Entry-level role Decent base + Commission Endless opportunity Meet new people Startup fintech in a Canadian market

Cons

You work as a contractor. Basically, you pay your own tax, so set that money aside if you make any. Neo has the right to let you go with or without reason (no notice needed) - this has happened to many of my coworkers. You cannot say you work for Neo, but rather that you "represent" Neo, and you are also liable for anything that happens to Neo at your own fault, since you are "technically" an independent contractor. The sales representative, or I like to say the kiosk sales booth contract representative, is often run by non-Canadian students and I guess they are well-suited to this role because they may not be familiar with how to be treated with respect in Canada, and some may enjoy sales. But this lays the ground for "unethical" practice from the company. Stress from Upper Management to Stress from Middle Management to Stress from Management to Stress from Sales (it runs down, and you will see it) If you are on LinkedIn or Glassdoor, have you ever wondered why the vast majority of sales representatives work for less than a year?

Neo Financial Response

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you had a poor experience at Neo. Our Sales Representative roles are offered on an independent contractor model, which provides flexibility and autonomy but also means individuals are responsible for things like managing their own taxes. While this structure isn’t for everyone, many choose it because it allows them to build experience, develop sales skills, and take ownership of their earning potential. We know that sales in a high-growth company like Neo can be demanding, and there are days that feel challenging. We’re focused on ensuring our teams have the right coaching, tools, and support to succeed, even in a fast-paced, target-driven environment. We also want to be clear that we do not tolerate or condone unethical behaviour in any form. Integrity and accountability are core to how we operate, and we’d appreciate the opportunity to discuss your experience further. If you’re open to it, please reach out to Amanda Broos (amanda.broos@neofinancial.com) so we can learn more.

Pros

What we're doing here is truly innovative and is a pleasure to be a part of it. Building something that challenges the incumbents - I think there's no other team in Canada that could do it.

Cons

Benefits are not superb, there's also a lot of policies still being built as we mature.
