Canadian Appliance Source Employee Reviews for Account Executive

I have been employed at CAS for about a year. I am currently a sales employee ( account executive ) This company has been my favorite place to work so far! There is room for growth. The people are outstanding ! and the team environment is awesome. They have always supported me in any areas of my life. There is so much potential to make money , all it takes is the hard work and ambition. The hours sometimes can be long and working weekends can be tough, but the reward outweighs the loss. for me anyway. If you are looking for a great career with rewards that reflect your effort, this is a great place to work !

Pros

People, salary, environment, Dress Code, Managment

Cons

changing schedule / no weekends ( this doesn't bug me as much as it would others)

Built for the Extrovert, fast paced and a great place to learn everyday.

Account Executive (Current Employee) - Kitchener, ON - 19 April 2023

I enjoy working for CAS, it's a great place to engage with people of all walks of life. You get to learn a lot. It's a fast paced environment but a good Team for support in the back end. You do sometimes crave for better hours but that's what Retail Work is all about. Though pretty consistent within the industry. Overall a good place to work and the more motivated you are, the more success you can achieve.

Pros

Free Lunches, great Live Training events that are catered, internal contests

Cons

You have to work weekends

Fantastic Place to Grow and Learn!

Account Executive (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 1 August 2022

This is an amazing place to work. Appliances is a different world and this is the best of it! The amount I've learned here surprises me to this day. I feel EXTREMELY confident, when selling to my clients. I have everything available at my fingertips when I need it. Managers are available right away for assistance and it's in their best interest to help their colleagues grow. Pay, work culture, management, learning experience, training is all excellent and Industry leading.

It's great to hear that you had the support you needed at CAS.

You have a shelf life

Account Executive (Former Employee) - Canada - 14 May 2022

Management is absolutely brutal. Extremely incompetent and half of the time don’t even know their own system. Also don’t expect to work there for more than 2 years as they will always find a way to get rid of you. They have cut our hours, decimated our once decent monthly bonus to a much weaker structure. New hires: please know you will not receive bonus for 6 months and you will likely be on hourly for a long time as they usually don’t have stock in priority items. Goodluck!

Pros

25/h safety net

Cons

Management, shady co workers

Comparatively, we have some of the best working hours for sales associates in the industry! It is also good to note that our compensation and bonus structures are constantly under review to ensure they are meeting their objectives.

Productive, fun, high paying but not secure job

Sales Account Executive (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 9 April 2022

CAS is very good company and if any person needs to make more money definitely this is the place and commission structure is good. But mostly people looking for the security in their main work which CAS do not provide at all. They thinks that way our pay is high so we will keep hiring al the time. Instead of giving well coaching to up bring they just let you go and do not settle it down. So overall good but not job security.

Lot of improvements needed

Account Executive (Current Employee) - Greater Toronto Area, ON - 28 March 2022

The team I am working with is great. However it has become a very stressful job due to the fact that company's sales management team has no sort of guidance and putting constant pressure regarding metrics which does not matter to improving your over all sales. Example would be, Asking to get 20 orders today because we did 20 orders exactly rather than saying we achieved 100k in sales and lets meet or beat the sales done last year that day. The hardest part of this work place is that everyday when your at work, you are worried about some sort of problem arising due to rapid changes in the management and no guidance. Our showroom manager and colleagues are great people, but if your upper management is not in the same category, it wont be pleasant work environment.

A fun workplace to make some "Easy Money"

Sales Account Executive (Current Employee) - Quebec Region - 23 March 2022

Easy to get involved even if it is a first "sales" job. If you work hard enough you can easily reach a 100k to 200k according that you work to the right branch.

A fun and rewarding company to work for.

Account Executive (Sales) (Current Employee) - Toronto - 17 September 2021

Coming into the showroom, checking all your messages and any changes to your outstanding accounts. Provide fantastic service to your clients in person, over the phone and on-line, with the goal of getting their commitment to make the purchase. Learning and training is an ongoing and a very important part of the job as appliances are always changing. The management team is supportive with a team based focus, which contributes to the culture as a whole. You will manage or own accounts but will certainly help a team member on their day off, etc. If you don't want to be constantly adapting to new changes, you may find this position more of a challenge. One of the many enjoyable aspects would be the flexibility and relationship building you get to experience.
