Working for Zen has been a positive experience.  I have worked with several of the high profile companies in Calgary and Zen is the similar in management and product.  The managers don't micromanage.  Focus is on customer care and help is provided.  Sales are plentiful without relying on cold calling (which I hate).   Training is not formal but if you have experience in the industry then the system is easy to pick up.  Mistakes are not berated but used as learning opportunities.  They want staff to succeed so customers are taken care of and help is there if required.

The product is decent making it easy to sell. Training is lacking so be prepared to have to figure things out on your own.  Sales manager is not able to support due to lack of industry knowledge, lacks initiative and avoids customer complaints by not responding. Constant mixed messages from upper management. Owner is  more concerned about international sales than the local so international orders will be prioritized leaving customers hanging. Hard work and strong work ethic are not acknowledged. 

I was a hard worker and did my job well, was in line for promotion and was unexpectedly fired. No one came and talked to me to discuss the situation. Ownership over-road my manager whom did not want to lose me.
They do not do company benefits either.
Best part of workplace, you get a vehicle with company tools.
Worst part- Being fired with no reviews or audits, yet you were doing a good job.

The company has great potential to develop. But Human resource management and working environment need to improve lots. It's hard to feel of belonging to when you working here. Everyone is replaceable, include managers working there for years. If you are Mr./Ms. Yes to most of everything, you can work days and nights (days with Canada teams, and nights with Vietnam teams) you can stay long.

Do not go to work for these clowns , management could use some people skills always using foul language,they don’t pay overtime ( if u work 10 hrs u only get paid for 8) some employees who have been there for awhile total slackers.if u get hurt on the job they will fire u once u are able to go back to work, have some employees who don’t know how to carry cabinets properly

Expectations are high, but if you are willing to work hard and learn from your mistakes you will be rewarded.  I was told early on that I had "permission to fail as long as you learn from it".  That statement gave me motivation to experiment, see what works best and to develop new ideas. 

Fantastic place to work. With any workplace, you'll have to make sure you are eager to learn and take the initiative to show interest in learning. The people are friendly, and I like the independence you are afforded within this role. There is a lot of opportunity to learn and grow. 

The company is great. They really give you the opportunity to give your inner skills and talents. Workplace is so nice and environmentally freindly. They are considerate and indeed giving to enough time to master the craft and also guiding you very good.
