False advertisement. I was a university student last year and applied for a marketing position. Went to the interview and they were not honest about their company and what they do. I left immediately after the first day. I should have read previous reviews and that is why i am writing this to warn you about this company.

I went to first day training and realized they made us do door to door, selling their heating and air conditioning systems which they claim to be associated with the toronto hydro. LIES LIES LIES. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. Also, on the day of training, they pair you up with one of those leaders who claim to make thousands of dollars in just a few weeks, bs. They bring you into their van to some sketchy location and they make you start selling door to door on the spot. They do not give you any information or heads up on what they are going to teach you or what you will be doing for the rest of the training. 

They try to suck you in with their "life changing, motivational speeches". Which I almost fell for. I never do reviews, but this was something that was called for where I do not want other people to go through and waste their time with.

A typical day at work starts with practice of sales presentation with other employees followed by a sales motivational meeting with the Director of the office we belong to.  Afterwards a short but relaxing lunch break while heading out to the territory we are assigned to that day.  For 6-8 hours we are each given a street(s) to work on where we directly represent the company, products and services to homeowners at their place of residence.  The hardest part of the job is overcoming the rejection that occurs each day, however after several days of seeing and hearing the same things this becomes normal.  The most enjoyable part of the job is meeting people who truly benefit from meeting myself, and being introduced into the latest essential home equipment which maximizes the efficiency of their energy use and decreases their monthly bills.  By truly helping people and then collecting the commissioned sales cheques, is the most thrilling experience because it's easily seen that great work has been done.

I have been working with Ontario Consumers Home Services for just over sixth months. This is my first job where everyday I actually look into going into work. Management within this company have created such a positive and supportive environment. I feel like I have truly grown within this company and I am a stronger and more confident person. What is also great within Ontario Consumers Home Services is that they offer so many possibilities for promotions. I have had previous jobs were they boast about the promotions that I was eligible, qualified and guaranteed but never was it followed through for myself or anyone. OCHS truly recognizes hard work and dedication, and offers so many opportunities for promotions. For the first time in my life I can say that I truly have job satisfaction! But as the job profile requires you travel a lot to the onsite, it was not made for me!!! Miss u guys.

This is a company focused at sales (cold calls / door to door) to find new customers, there are no base salary for the sales agents and no base salary for the installers they have, all commission.
A typical work day starts from a meeting at the office at 11 am, with managers giving speech trying to boost up sales agents. At 12 am, the meeting ends and sales agents select an area they will be working in, have lunch and make cold calls from previous lead sheets, and start the door to door sales, some agents will misrepresent them self on purpose to gain trust from house owners, and some dont. the work ends at 5 -9 pm depending on weather condition and is flexible, but there are no pay untill a deal is sighed, and installation going through. ending up with many of the sales agents making 300 - 500 dollars a week for working 6 days a week and more than 8 hours a day.

- Hardest part of the job is knowing how to deal with rejection from customers
- Most enjoyable part is being able build a personal relationship with satisfied customers

Firstly, the sales tactic they use is to force way into house, then con individuals into a product based on false math.  I left after three weeks of working with this company, the office at 619 yonge.  Upon realising that nobody on our team was making any money, I left.  Pretty sure the practice here is find new recruits everyday, milk them for what you can, and in 3-4 weeks they will leave. It took me 3 months to get paid my commission. Initially they claimed nothing I sold actilually got installed.  They took a quick 180 when I pointed out that I was back at the house the following day and watched it get installed.  This company is a racket. They claim to be affiliated with companies they are not and they pretend to know about the equipment they are selling.  If they era h a client who knows about these products, they move onto the next house.

I wanted to let you all know how much I appreciate Ontario Consumers Home Services as an employer. I have joined this company 6 months back and since then I am learning so many things from my seniors. They are very helpful.

Technicians and engineers are so polite and professional. They always answer to all of my questions. They are committed to getting their work done. I can honestly say that the experience that I have with Ontario Consumers Home Services is 100 % positive. Please share this with others and anyone who want to build their career in Consumers Electronics and Engineering.

A typical day was spent with sales training in the morning then door to door marketing in the afternoon.  At this job I learned how to convince people to let me inspect their water heaters and furnaces to determine whether they need to be replaced then convince them to sign up for a new water heater rental.  The management was kind of scary and very demanding.  My co-workers were all very nice.  The hardest part of the job was overcoming the radio advertisements from direct energy saying that what we were doing would be bad for customers.  The enjoyable part was driving from location to location, meeting new people and getting to be outside a lot.

Typical sales job that requires you to make sales or you do not get paid at all. I also had to train people without pay. The only reason why I stayed around for the summer was because I was really good at sales. I was making about $5000 a month and was only working for 3 months. This was my first sales job so I was naive and how things worked. They do not tell you to save a percentage of your check for tax. That should be the number one thing they should tell their employees.

It was not the job for me. If you are a ruthless, uncaring individual this is for you. All commission based and if you’re happy charging people (usually the elderly) exorbitant amounts of money for a half mass product then so be it. Very little work/life balance. 14 hours days 6 days a week, and they’d do 7 if they could. 
You have to be a certain type of person to excel here and I was not that type.
