Pros

Okay salary. PST is good. Its just a job...

Cons

Compensation is constantly changed to take money out of the sellers. I believe they have perfected it now. Incompetent Managers. Benefts are not great. Promotions are non existent unless you are a huge brown noser and back stabber to your fellow employees. You cant trust any above you. Only brown nosers get recognition, everyone else gets talked down to. No career here.

Pros

Training and training staff are amazing but US based

Cons

Canada is the least important part of this company, no app, no commercials, frequent loads of product sits in Edmonton yard causing fulfilment delays. Management only interested in ‘yes sir, no sir’ to CEO and moving up.
