Pros
Fun place to work at if your definition of fun is to knock on stangers' doors all day and get told to F-Off by all of them. It's great for homeless people who have no rent to pay. It's like playing the lottery. Odds are stacked against you and you make less than minimum wage if any wage at all. If you hate money and love to work. This is the perfect job for you.
Kontras
You're going to feel like a lonely sad rejected homeless man that is begging for some change. That's what your job is. You're knocking doors and begging from morning to sundown for these homeowners to take pity on you and sign your little piece of paper. They will treat you like the little pest you are and slam the door on your face. And you will lose a lot of weight from walking around all day making you look even more like a homeless man. You will lose your self confidence and motivation, because you will try so hard and get nothing. You'll be happy if you get 1 close a week. You don't get paid from signing leads, you get paid when the closer closes your lead. You might have a great week filled with hope because you signed great leads. But it might turn out that your leads are not quality leads. You have to trust the closer's level of competence that you haven't really verified yourself. And you can't close your own leads either. You need 3 average closes per week in order to make minimum wage. Thought it was easy but that's how desperate this job is, people hate you all throughout Ottawa. They hate door to door. You'd wonder why but then you'll realize that it's because it is not respected. You're walking around looking like a scammer and people hate you. You'd hear this phrase quite often "I don't do business door to door." And the company will never tell you what you're getting into, and how people actually hate you. They're putting you at the front lines to be judged and disrespected. While they pay you not one dime. You're being exploited, plain and simple. Unless you have money already to cover yourself for 2 years, then run, it's not so desperate out there, just join the military. It'll not too dissimilar to this job. There you at least will fit in right.
