Marketing (Current Employee) - Calgary, AB - 21 February 2020
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedBeen working there 2 weeks. I do have a great trainer. But they cut my hours as I could not get a single Credit Card sign up as January & February are slow months for retail. I can honestly say I tried everything. Many people are very debt conscious now. I applaud that. They know what works for them and what doesn't.

Marketing Specialist (Current Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 12 November 2020
The management definitely needs to change the manner in which they treat their employees. This role had minimum room for professional development and the company has a huge turnover rate.

Wonderful part time job
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Okanagan, BC - 12 August 2020
Caring and kind management, if you like to talk and also about all the wonderful benefits of the card it’s a great job. No pressure with keeping with quota... you just go out and do the best you can and have fun out there.. wonderful training with a professional manger. They were kind , caring and a happy environment and they did not stress me out at all. Just a shame about the pandemic and hoping to get back soon!
Pros
Happy place, not a lot of pressure, nice bosses

Challenging and targes
Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 4 April 2020
“Nice company to work with, great learning opportunities and professional growth” This was by far my most positive work experience! I was supported every step of the way. This company is big on showing its appreciation for its employees and they are patient with you while you learn. They pay for your travel, food, and the commissions are excellent. No micromanaging! Your work shows through your sales.

It’s a scam
Sales Representative (Former Employee) - Medicine Hat, AB - 11 March 2020
The whole place and company is a complete s c a m. They only pay you for the days that you get people to sign up for mastercards, not the 8 hour days where you constantly get rejected. The management is complete c r a p and it took them 2 months to actually train me and the training was just a slide show and no in store training. Whatever you do, do NOT work for them it’s a complete crapshow.

good company
FIELD MARKET REPRESENTATIVE (Former Employee) - Burnaby, BC - 24 January 2020
Sales is not for everyone. But for those willing to stick it through this job can definitely help you develop your character and give you lots of awesome experience. Best part of the job is the flexible hours and good pay.

Unprofessional Environment Waste Of Time
Sales Representative (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 14 January 2020
Scripted dialogue training 30 minutes
Target of signing up people while they shop at Walmart
You carry a iPad around ,walking full 4 to 5 hour shift
You verbalize script word per word asJW Sales Manager follows behind you ,hiding behind racks,eaves dropping on your communication.
Manager doesn't have office so you meet in McDonald's every hour,where she sets up shop at table all day in McDonald's at Walmart.
The job itself is presented incorrectly during interviews process. There are actually no guaranteed hours and I witnessed Sales Reps being sent home because they had a bad hour of no sign ups
I found the employees were not trained correctly and manager missed the value of proper support tools for success. In the short time there ,the turn over was daily ,here today,quit tomorrow.
Manager and some team members went out hourly for smoke breaks and came back reeking of cigarettes on the sales floor. Not a good job for professionals.
Pros
Talking with new people every day
Cons
Turn over, lack of Consistency with training support, also can't seem to talk to higher ups, only the JW manager who sits in the McDonald's all day. Literally walk all day, carrying ipad and a Point if sale system. Looks unprofessional and your arms get super sore

future employee (Former Employee) - Campbell River, BC - 6 January 2020

good
Sales Rep (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 31 December 2019
They put a lot of pressure on one person to sell credit cards which isn't easy because people don't even listen to us. If you don't make enough applications which is one every hour atleast, then you get very less number of hours to work.

Hard job if your not used to working in that filed
Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 6 November 2019
It was an interesting learning experience I never worked in sales before it was a very challenging job it was hard to met the quota for the product I was offering to people it was a product that everyone seemed to have so it made it hard to find people who didn't have the product and wanted it

Communicative and active workplace
Sales Representative (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 14 October 2019
I used to start to say hi to the customers of Real Canadian Superstore. I learned how to approach to a person and explain yourself. The hardest part of the job is to convince people to get MasterCard. Some of them were very rude to me. The most enjoyable part is to meet new people.
Pros
Meeting new people
Cons
Walking during the day
