Good atmosphere in the office. Supportive attitude from the leadership side and colleagues. Classic training system.

Be prepared to spend at work 10-12 hours, 6 days a week while being paid for 4-5 hours. The difference between what you actually earn and what you are told "people here earn per hour" is at least twice as less. Turnover in the office speaks for itself.

I learned about many aspects of sales in the corporation, as well as the different types of ways to push projects on customers.

Their work was quite dirty, as they were pushing products using fake/unrealistic reviews and having people in low-income areas purchase their low grade products for high margins. I was told that it was going to be a Finance internship but turned out to be a low-level pyramid scheme involving sales in Canadian Tires. I knew what I was getting myself into the first couple of weeks, but did not have the capacity to quit at the point to hold onto the job. Low Salary! We were making base pay ($11.25/Hour) but were expected to work from 7:30/8:00 am till late evenings. There were days that I would spend 80 Hours a week on the field, but would only get paid for 40 since I was considered a "manager" after the 3rd week there. It was not beneficial for me since I didn't see room for growth, nor was it fulfilling to earn less than minimum wage and have a heavy heart ripping people off in stores.

Opportunity is one of the most under rated powers of motivation. People see opportunity and get scared because they don't want to take a risk. There is no risk in his company. I have been with Canam for almost 6 months and the amount of training and preparation that is thought out by the management is ourstanding. They are there for you the whole way through. Yes there will always be ups and downs in life and believe me I've seen my fair share, but coming into the company drowning in debt not knowing which way to turn they took me under their wing and showed me how to properly manage my life. I cannot thank Jason and the rest of the staff more for the drive and determination they have filled my heart with. It's funny because people who complain about hours, or work, to me are just lazy. Why work a 9 - 5 boring office job when you can do something extraordinary talking to thousands of people a week, having fun, exchanging life stories but most of all learning and networking with some of the hardest most underated people in the world. I'm glad to say I have found my calling here and it's a place that's not just my work place but a place I can call home. Thank you for all you have done for me and I can't wait to see what the next 6 months bring. Coach Bo

I have no cons other than against lazy people
