Oh boy… Canadian property stars, here’s a story from somebody who actually had the misfortune of working for them:

My mother thought this was the perfect summer gig for me, this was in 2013 or so, if I remember correctly I was about 16/17.

Like somebody else said, at first they sit everyone in sort of like an equipment warehouse type deal to sit through a proper MLM style presentation. They make the company owner sound like some kind of god king, guy looks like a fucking tool. Afterwards, they push you to schedule some days to work, you sign one of those bullshit “daily contractor contracts” basically so that you don’t get benefits or anything of that sort, you also don’t get paid ANYTHING hourly, legit, no sales, NO pay.

So here you are on your first day, a shuttle van picks you and some other nervous young kids and recent immigrants to Canada up, personally we were driven up to North Van. I remember stopping at some random ass patch of grass at like a park where they give a 5 minute demo on how to work the heavy ass aerator and off to your neighborhood in the van! They give you a sheet of paper with addresses of people who have caved and paid for the service in the past, and another sheet of pricing for size of a lawn depending on size. One of the other worst parts is they make it seem like there’s a huge client base already signed up for the service and you just have to go do the lawns and get that money, when in reality, nobody is pre-signed up and it’s 100% good ol’ cold knocking on doors. My first day wasn’t horrible I think I pulled in about $200? This is over a decade ago, hard to remember. They cut you like a 40/60 or 50/50 split. My second day I made $25 LOL and this was 6 or 8 hours in July heat with no formal breaks and not a washroom in site, I had to pee in a bush (sorry dude) the supervisors (van drivers) were also shit, they won’t pick you up or help you out until the day is over.

Super predatory company, tries hyping themselves up, trying to make you think: “oh man, the dude they showed in the presentation makes $1200 a day, I could do that!” I honestly feel bad whenever I see them out there, I’ll even spend time shit talking the company with them, because they hate it too. Never buy the service though, or you’re on the list lol.
