Pros

The team is very diverse...culturally. That's the only good thing.

Cons

If you are being hired for a US-based position, please read this. This company states that they are a provider of maintenance and janitorial services (which in the US is a true area of struggle in the property management/real estate sector), but they are not. They are a janitorial service provider with a technology component. Unfortunately, there are not many companies in the US that will pay the exuberant fee this company has placed on its services because janitorial services are not their priority. After working here for about 6 months, I realized very quickly that what this company was actually selling was not going to work in the US market. Leadership is unorganized and openly shows favoritism to what they call their "dynamic 5" which are the 5 employees that started with the company back in 2018... if you're one of those 5, you're golden, anyone else, the CEOs may not like you. The CEOs are rude and will belittle employees in front of anyone. Things are so bad here that I am planning to let their investors/board members know the truth about some of their practices. Prior to my joining, they were manually tracking sales activities with major deals. The sales team is the golden child of the organization and everyone must coddle them to ensure that they close their deals (which isn't happening). Overall, this was the worst position I've held in my entire career. I feel bad for all of the employees that are still there because I know this company will not break into the US and the growth that they've touted is all tied to their egos. They also rolled out a bonus plan that no one will ever meet because they will never meet their inflated ego-driven sales goals.

Pros

I met some nice people.

Cons

I was hired to run the sales arm of the organization I can agree with most and probably all of the cons that are listed in the other reviews. United States sales people will be in for a huge culture shock when it comes to how this company thinks they should go to market. Their organic growth expectations are in a word delusional. Their tactics in selling contracts that are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars a year don’t align with how decentralized organizations makes decisions region by region. They have no clear understanding of how to grow through organic sales growth. If you’re a seasoned sales person or sales leader in any industry and you have the desire to change industries this isn’t the place to do it. In a short time with this company their tactics shifted multiple times, their goals shifted, and how they intended to pay sales people was never made clear even after they had a policy. Their sales projections were simply based on what the company needed in order to survive financially instead of building the business model around how they could grow in a market. I see assumptions that the positive reviews on here are coerced by leadership and I’d agree with that opinion. They were also very close minded to feedback that affected their egos with the software that they are trying to coin as revolutionary. It didn’t seem to drive the value you hoped for and when told that they reacted poorly to that feedback. In fact, they reacted poorly to any feedback where they were told there might be a more effective way to do something. In my opinion they make moves purely on the financial impact in the short term and make key decisions to avoid costs that in the long term should pay a dividend.

Pros

I only lasted 11 months with the company before I was able to get out.

Cons

I think the reviews of the former Marketing and Sales VPs are correct even with the changes they made after they were gone. They are never going to grow outside of Canada. 100% of the positive reviews have to be either from the C-Suite or have been prompted to employees by the C-Suite. With the one founder gone, the other changed a little big based on the new CEO, but she was still the same person, and the employees talk about her and another employee out of the GTA behind their backs.
