Pros

There is nothing pros about his Company unless you are VERY DESPERATE and you will bow down (Korean Culture) when the "President" walks in.

Cons

In the past 2 weeks, I have worked approximately close to 80 hours/per week, of which these hours are documented. The “President” Shawn Kim or that’s what he calls himself of Hiossen Canada (4 employees, all Korean do not hire Caucasian race because that employee will be very verbose and do not hire female reps in general. There were 4 reps and 1 sales support in training and left after 2 weeks. Here is the ad on the Hiossen Canada Website. • Must have college degree or equivalent, outside sales experience preferred but will train, have a valid driver��s license and vehicle. Bilingual (Korean/English, Chinese/English, Vietnamese/English, Spanish/English, etc.) will be very helpful. I was not provided information prior to my employment that the routine schedule would be like this. Moreover, I have received various requests to attend to work, during the weekend and the long weekend labour day holiday. I have also been told by a co-league to ignore lunch breaks during my training with him, visiting other accounts as “There is no time”, until I firmly insisted that I had to attend to having a meal break. Product training is reading the catalog in the car on the way to visit accounts. As a result of this, I am producing few articles about HiOssen online and will file a small’s claim law suit for my overtime pay.

Pros

In-depth training + regular client interactions = more confidence and better soft skills. Mix of repeat customers and new leads. Regular exchange of tips and ideas among team members. Clear targets. No micromanagement. Compensation made up of base pay and incentives.

Cons

Takes both time and effort to grasp all the product details

Pros

There were a few decent coworkers who made the day less heavy.

Cons

It started off feeling like a regular job situation, nothing too alarming at first, just doing tasks and trying to settle in, but the longer it went the more the cracks showed. Low pay stayed stuck while favoritism became pretty obvious, managers would lie or shift explanations whenever issues came up, compensation plans kept changing without notice, leadership was basically missing in action with fear based control running everything, freaks with constantly changing attitudes seemed to set the tone, discrimination in opportunities and hiring decisions was hard to ignore, and micromanagement made even basic work feel like you were being watched nonstop. Stress kept building instead of easing up and support was almost nonexistent. Eventually it just felt like you were navigating chaos instead of a job. On top of that, there was no real sense of direction day to day, decisions would flip without explanation and you were expected to just adjust without support, communication between teams was messy or completely missing, and instead of fixing problems leadership would just tighten control even more which made everything feel heavier and more suffocating over time.
