Great place to work!
Accounting Manager (Current Employee) – Richmond, BC – 16 February 2019
Peak is a challenging environment where accomplishments are rewarded and hard work does not go unnoticed.
Growth in the company drives individual growth and there are many opportunities for advancement.
The hardest part of the job is keeping up in a dynamic environment. However it is also the most enjoyable part of the job to be able to see the outcomes of your contributions.

Project Coordinator (Current Employee) – Richmond Hill, ON – 8 February 2019
As a new immigrant looking for a stable job and life, I couldn't have asked for a better job. My day goes by smoothly. My job is challenging but there is never unnecessary pressure from the supervisors. They are very understanding and accommodating.
The one thing that I absolutely love about my job is the people I am working with. They are kind, honest, genuine and nice people. They are my family here.
I have learnt so much at this job that the list is too long!
I do not find anything in particular about my job that I would term as 'hard' or 'difficult'. However, I do find myself a little helpless because a lot of third parties are involved and thus I am not able to update my customers with the latest information.
I find my job very enjoyable overall. I cannot wait for Mondays so that I can go back to work and the entire week just flies by.
In short, I am super happy and satisfied at my job.

Pros
There is free food almost everyday - sweets, pizza, coffee, hot chocolate! Ah! I love it! The kitchen is very well equipped - refridgerator, microwave, oven, toaster, coffee maker, water kettle, bottled water and cutlery.

Manager (Current Employee) – Richmond, BC – 1 February 2019
I've been working for more than twenty years in various employers, I'd say Peak is one of best employers I've ever worked for. The company is very goal-driven and it cultivates team work that promotes great cross-functional learning opportunities. Employees are hard working, responsive and dedicated, and they are fun to work with!
It's great to see that some colleagues have been happily working here for 5, 10 to 20 years, while new opportunities are also available for great talents like experienced professionals and university students. The best part is they all work well together, whether it's for work-related projects, or in supporting charitable activities and team events! It's a pleasure to work at Peak!

Home life benefits
In Home Sale consultant (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 27 January 2019
I home sales consultant was my job. Lots of leads but lead times and cost of product is higher then any other competitor. Makes for a difficult time selling. Management is disorganized and hard to get answers from. Order desk questions most orders placed in turn frustrating customers.
If you like the flexibility of creating your own schedule and making a minimal salary, this place is for you.

Customer Care Representative (Former Employee) – Richmond Hill, ON – 8 September 2018
To be brief, although the nature of the job can be quite stressful. I truly enjoyed working for this company.
They management was amazing and are at this moment, the best management team I have ever had the pleasure to work with.
The company is small, as such, decisions and solutions can be made very quickly. Additionally, communication within the office is always easy and encouraged. Therefore, you will never be left to deal with a problem on your own should you need help.

For initiators, not for the lazy!
Confidential (Current Employee) – Richmond, BC – 31 August 2018
Interesting, dynamic, and challenging work. It's great for people who know how to take initiative, step-up to the plate, and challenge themselves to take on tasks that they'll have to learn and work through. Not for the lazy or people who just do the minimum.
Pros
Lots of challenge
Cons
A bit far for most people to commute to
Interesting work and friendly colleagues
Manager (Current Employee) – Ontario – 20 August 2018
It's good to be a part of Peak. It is a very successful and ambitious company, and all the team members are doing their best to deliver good customer service and help each other.
The company provides funds for education, excellent benefits, and opportunities to take on more responsibilities. There is a clear pathway for promotion. Many of my colleagues have grown into management and senior management roles.

Account Payable Associate (Current Employee) – Richmond, BC – 25 July 2018
I appreciate The Peak offers a chance to the person who does not have any related work experience like me. As a student that needs to start from scratch, it is so frustrated to find a job that require no experience regarding to work. But The Peak does, and so I am inputting my best commitment with the company for a mutual growth.
Since now I have received sufficient support for work and the management is willing to guide on the task as I questioned.
Overall it is a nice place to work!

A true family atmosphere
Customer Care Coordinator (Former Employee) – Richmond Hill, ON – 9 July 2018
I have never seen or experienced such a wonderful, fun, family atmosphere until I started working for Peak Installations. Like a true family, they would accommodate your needs and facilitate your requests to the best of their abilities. Like a business, they would pay you respectfully for your hard work and keep things professional yet eventful at the office! The co-workers I have dealt with outside my workplace (other call centers or offices), are all brilliant human beings who would share my silly demeanor and boisterous outlook on life through the phone, and tag along in my nutty humour. What more could an employee like me ask for?
Pros
Paid 30 minute lunch break, multiple mini-breaks to get some fresh air or clear your mind, fun and helpful team
Cons
No access to wifi
Young and great room for carreer growth
Procurement Director (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 27 June 2018
A typical day at work is a dynamic and fast pace environment where I learned to act promptly and work with multicultural people. The management is very supportive and the culture of the company is based on respect, team work and mutual trust.
The hardest part of the job is to exceed customer expectations with high quality service, product and price.
The most enjoyable part of my job is strengthen the relationship with internal and external stakeholders and always support our teams to suceed.

Amazing and inspiring company
Director (Current Employee) – Richmond, BC – 4 April 2018
Peak is an amazingly inspiring company to work for. The company is fast paced and very forward thinking. The company works closely with Home Depot and they are very customer focused. They manufacture and supply many products to Home Depot as well as being a major install service provider for Home Depot. Not a great company for lazy people but very rewarding for harder workers looking for a career.
Pros
Great leadership and always growing
Cons
Fast paced
Stay away
Outside sakes (Former Employee) – Canada – 10 March 2018
This company expects you to be a contractor and within a month of training they will decide to terminate you or hire you. That's guys have gone through multiple people in the last year and have screwed many individuals. I would only apply if I was recently in the industry to catch lieing remarks
