Pros

Most people were nice.. probably fake though.

Cons

For me it all starts with the Indeed job add they had up... still have up and probably will always have up because the turn over rate is unbelievable. Anyway the add says SALARY is $600-$900 WEEKLY. Which is a blatant lie and honestly an unbelievable accusation because even the top Sales reps there only make 2-3 sales a week which is usually split once in half for the company and then if someone else was with you they’d get a share which don’t get excited you’ll only get $150 for a sale with a senior rep and that’s if they even sell a FULL. At my interview I was told I’d get base pay of $500 a week which I thought was fair that was a higher up who told me that and I clearly remember clairifying “$500 a week” 3 or 4 times for him just to agree with that being BASE. Turns out if you’re even lucky to get base and (here comes a real quote) “can’t get 4 appointments in a day and manage to close one” your base pay works out to $250 a week. Which is $50 a day folks. Good luck putting food on the table. One of the bones I have to pick with them is that they were fine with hiring people with no experience and then their “training” was one of the senior sales reps who’s training tactics were to read basic sales tricks and talk to you like you’re stupid for not being able to do this. And then they put you on the phones.. you gotta call at least 50-60 AT LEAST a day. And the only help you get is the senior sales reps kinda judging and telling you you need to get your calls up. Oh and if they actually help you in the beggining with a sale or a call. Good luck getting a piece of it from their slimy little hands. And if your paycheque is wrong they’ll just ignore you. What I’m really trying to do here is catch someone who read the add on indeed and thought “wow! $600-$900 a week! No experience??!” Keep looking for a real job. This isn’t one. And I really wish I saw a review before hopping on board a sinking boat where everyone praises the CEO.

Thank you for the review here on Glassdoor. It is unfortunate you were not as successful as previous contractors have been here with GetAssist and we wish you the best in your future endeavors; however, after reading this I noticed a few things that stick out to me as incorrect that I would like to clarify for any future prospects thinking about joining the GetAssist team: The advertised jobs for GetAssist across the country all state that it's a commission based job with average earning potential from $600 - $900 with top sales reps making double and triple that per pay period. A pay structure is signed on the first day someone joins GetAssist as a contractor. If you do not agree with how we pay it should have been brought to your manager's attention before you started working; however, you did agree to our compensation structure on the first day so we carried forward with training! At GetAssist we do have a minimum standard we want all contractors to hit and that is 40 calls per day and 4 appointments per day. We have this standard in place because we want to ensure you make money and are able to pay your bills. The last thing we would want to do is take food off of any person's table. This all being said, I believe this sales job is not for everyone. Any direct sales job takes a strong work ethic, a solid demeanor and energy, and excitement that your prospect can connect with as we have a great program for the small business marketplace. We have grown to 6 offices across Canada and are going to be launching into the United States shortly as we grow GetAssist across the world! We wish you all the best and we hope you find what you are looking for soon in the future!

The CEO, Bruce Fikowski, is an amazing and inspiring leader who brings out the best in people simply by associating with him. Wages are enviable and others working with the company know in their hearts that they're working on a project much larger than themselves.

Cons

There are no downsides to working with GetAssist. The staff and other contractors love working on building out the business. They have clearly defined goals established by the CEO, Bruce Fikowski.

Pros

There's nothing good to say about GetAssist Everything about working for this company is terrible!

Cons

Do NOT work here. This company overworks and underpays its employees, and forces them to lie to clients in order to sell terrible products! Not to mentjon the awful management that does nothing but harass and humiliate you.
