The interview was held in a very unfriendly manner. The family who opened up the Toronto location claimed, that they have already been running another branch in somewhere in Midwest. I understand the purpose of establishing yourself and your business to a potential employee, but to me it felt like a way of reassuring the candidate that their ways have proven to be successful. When they started talking about the compensation, all the previous gut feeling just instantly made sense. Since the company is based in the US, they have used a percentage-based salary (it does not build up on a fixed hourly rate), with an extensive punishment system. There are so many ways they can deny you your compensation, it’s insane! If you give a discount to close the sale (which they strongly suggest you do) and do it more often than your set limit, or go over 10-15% mark, the difference will be covered from your salary. You are given a number of clients each month and the clients are distributed by the management. They want you to close at least half of the sales to be paid. I can’t believe these rules can slide under Canadian Labour laws, so I declined the offer. I hope they will overlook their business practices to better match the local job market.
