Pros

There is absolutely no positives about this company

Cons

I have 10 years in the direct sales industry and this has to be, by far, the worst company I have ever worked for. The whole program is a scam: -farms are not local -farms aren't organic or natural -cost the customer 3-4x retail -customers have no real choice The job is a farce: - you are lucky to make 30k at this -you are an employee not independent contractor -the company will dock your pay illegally -leads are far and few between Atmosphere: -its depressing, you can feel the negative vibe in the air -there are a bunch of awards on with people's names on them that don't work there...possible fake? -the are constantly on their reps to put up fake reviews, both on this website and for product reviews - you avoid public places or else risk meeting people you've scammed to buy $25/lb meat

Pros

- Pretty good social competency experience, very noticeable changes even after 4 months - Pretty non-competitive. It is the best location in terms of door-to-door sales performance wise, but they hire basically anyone so it doesn't take long to become a top performer.

Cons

- Terrible pay. 20$ an hour with a promise for a fake commission. Commission follows a defecit system, so if you don't meet an unreasonably high quota from the get-go then you can basically assume you will never make any additional commission, only 1 person was at the time I was working there with a team of 8, and it was essentially pennies. The largest issue is unpaid work. Shifts are 4-8 on weekdays and 10-2 on weekends, but there is 25-45 minute drives to the field prior to it and they demand you arrive far earlier than that to make sure you don't miss it. Considering Ottawa's terrible transit system and my fear of missing a shift, I left home 2 hours before the shift started despite the office being close, coming out to 4 hours of unpaid work for each 4 hours of paid work. The managers also put in great effort to scare you and stress you with bad performances, with multiple after-shift 1 on 1 meetings, but almost never actually punish you.
