Suxess Consulting
Unprofessional, Unfair, Unorganized

Though the main office is located in Mississauga, I worked with the Hamilton branch and have horror stories for the ages I'm sure.

These guys are a complete insult to legitimate fund raising, and even more insulting to the legitimate and reputable firms they represent (In this case, SickKids Hospital in Toronto, and World Vision Child Sponsorship Programs)

From start to finish, this is an awful job, I'll try to be brief.

- COUNTLESS HOUR OF WASTED TIME by "Leaders", including watching movies on company time, using drugs on company time. Generally, abusing the privilege of working away from the office.

- NO PROPER TRAINING for the job, at all. Nothing even resembling training. I was taken for my "second interview" (Really, a loop hole that allows them to use unpaid training. Loophole is a word you will hear quite a bit with this company) by people younger, and far less educated than myself (I'm a university grad, looking like many in my position to make enough money to cover school costs) to a neighborhood 30 minutes form the office. I had to pay for gas during the trip, 5 dollars/person was the cost. We spent most of our time sitting on rocks and hearing about how much of a moron the man in charge really is.

- DISHONESTY IS RAMPANT within the company. There is a relationship and an environment of distrust between all levels of the company. Managers don't trust the employees, employees don't trust the managers, the directors (Big Wigs, for all intents and purposes) don't trust the managers or the employees, and vice versa. There is an obscene amount of gossip, trash talk, and rumor milling in the office and on canvassing routes (yeah, it's door to door) that acts as a catalyst and the problems never stop.

- DAMAGING REPUTATIONS is the name of the game for this company. The door to door sales people are told, specifically, to say whatever needs to be said in order to gather monthly donations for SickKids Hospital and to fabricate a local address, and lie about other things - including telling individuals you are a volunteer when you are in fact paid hourly with incentives - to encourage Child Sponsorship with World Vision. These are otherwise legitimate programs in my eyes, and to know that they use services provided by a company like Suxess - a company whose shamelessly dishonest tactics are only matched by its shamelessly dishonest managers and directors - is appalling, and needs to be stopped.

- LOOPHOLES are a major problem for employees of these companies. Loopholes mean you will be doing canvassing for SickKids Hospital only a few blocks from McMaster hospital - in an area where many of the McMaster staff have homes, which is a perfect example of lack of planning and lack of professionalism, not to mention against the contract between these two hospitals. Further, expect to not be paid for any of the holidays that 99.9% of employers pay their employees for, which is obviously incorrect. In fact, I printed out legislation and called my MP to discuss the issue, and in fact employees of Suxess ARE owed for ANY holiday for which other workers are paid, regardless of what "loophole" managers may cite - always without any evidence of course.

Don't waste your time, don't waste your money, don't waste your gas, don't waste your car, your knees, your voice, your breath, your ANYTHING with these people, because it will only end in dissatisfaction even in the best of cases.
