Eagle Water Ontario

I usually never take the time to write something like this, however, my experience with this job was so terrible, I feel like I have an obligation to notify those who are thinking about taking it. 

I had applied to the job and essentially got it as soon as I applied. They offer $19/hr with "commission" and guarantee you 30-44 hours a week. 

However, as I began training I realized that this position is nothing more than a scam. They tell you that you have, "office generated leads" however, these leads are just homeowners expecting a gift as they might have participated in a survey. Your task was to deliver this gift and only provide it to them if you complete the "show," which is just a sales pitch. You are trained to go into these houses, not disclosing what business you are with and suggest that you need "feedback" from a health product which is a 9000$ water-softener. The sales pitch is nothing more than psychological tactics to convince the homeowner that their tap water is 1) harmful as their are plenty of containments in it; 2) costing them thousands of dollars in the long run through soaps and detergents; 3) adding costs onto your monthly electricity bill. 


You do not get paid 19/hr but rather its 38$ per show which is averaged to be 2 hours. Essentially, you can work a 10 hour day and get paid for only 6 of those hours because you only had 3 houses. The training is unpaid and your practice runs with friends and family following training is only paid if you make a sale. 

The management has the appearance of being friendly and approachable yet they are just shady salesmen. After a long day of training one of the employees brought in the contracts at 4:50 and said that they needed them signed by 5:00pm. Since it was a long day, many of the trainees barely read over the document and quickly signed it. I asked to take it home and they were very hesitant of letting me do so. They eventually "made an exception" and allowed me to take it home, however, they did not allow any of the other trainees to do so. 

I urge you to do research on this kind of position as there is many things written on the business. In conclusion, this is a great waste of time and it does not live up to what they offer.

All these positive reviews are fakes created by Eagle management themselves. Look how they have no substance.  Just a shady statement.  

I worked for them for 6 months and regretted it.  They manipulate and demean their employees. They also treat their customers like trash once they don't get the sale. They also promise to do a spin wheel every day to pay for meals and gas, depending on what it lands on.  Then once hired they say no no we meant every week. They never even did that.  I was never paid a dime for any gas or food. The hours were very long (10am to midnight) Since we were out so long it took us a long time to get back.  So we'd end up getting back at around 2 or 3am most of the time. They tried to make the water system seem healthy. But there is more proof out there that the drinking water is harmful over long term.  The only benefits is the soft water for showering. The price is far too high for their product though.  And they insist you charge customers as much as possible, no matter what the situation is.  

I once had a lady with alzheimers. They still tried to sell to her.  I did the presentation just to get the demo pay.  Then they grinded her over the phone for quite a while. Even a small moment is ridiculous.  

There was another situation with a man who was losing his house due to a divorce. They sent me in to grind and manipulate him into buying. It was heartbreaking.  He was showing how he was selling off everything and moving soon.  

They would call you maggot and hang up on you while you were supposed to be closing over the phone with them. 

There is a lot more stories like this. 

All you can count on is their team and upper management constantly lying. It's what they are good at. Some of the worst slippery criminals. I can't emphasize enough how horrible these people are. Worst job I ever had.  All types of harassment with worse than minimum wage. 

Don't go here. It's a trap. 

Spent nearly 100 to 150 dollars on gas everyday with a decent Sportscar.

Worked at the London location, you are not paid $20 an hour, you are paid for every house you get into and do an evaluation of; you will be driving all over London to be kicked out of people's homes (which you dont get paid for. Out of 5 calls youll get into maybe 3) because they were told completely different information over the phone (such as that they won a gift card if they let you take a water sample), youll be there for hours, people will threaten you, degrade you, etc. 

Its little more than door-to-door sales, the product is good but the customer service side is not. Youll be working until generally at least 10 at night, usually closer to 11pm even though they tell you the hours are 2-8, it is actually 1:00 to 10:30 or 11, and if you break that down, you arent getting paid even minimum wage as a base pay. On top of that, training is unpaid, and because youre walking into a home being seen as a 'scammer' and having lied to the potential customer, you won't make a sale for their esteemed 'commission'. 
  
I would really stay away if youre not comfortable being lied to, telling lies to customers, being degraded, being put in dangerous situations (I was trapped in a customers home), improper training, not making more than minimum wage at best, you are also an 'independent contractor' with the company, so when it comes to tax time they wash their hands clean, and you get screwed by taxes (they dont mention that, so it sounds like youre getting a bigger pay cheque), and dont forget that whatever you claim can be audited. I would recommend staying away to anyone with more IQ points than teeth.

I started with Eagle Water in January of 2015.
Looking back at it now, it was the worst mistake I've ever made in my career life.
They promise you all this money as long as you work hard for it in which I studied the script and tests for hours each night for a week.
We were given the perspective that customers we visited and performed the presentations for, were interested in learning about purer water.
However, as I walked into my fist appointment ever I had the family scream at me to give them there "gift" (which is horrible and useless anyways) and to get out of their house.
People aren't interested in water treatment systems, they were bribed to listen to us present by giving them a horrible gift..
After calling Lisa Kennedy (Manager) and telling her about my experience, she said to me with attitude, "everyone has the same script, it's not that hard".
I quit then and there. It's a pyramid scheme and they really do not care about your future sadly.
Unless you enjoy broken promises and making no money and being lied too, I would highly suggest not applying to this place!
Apply at your own risk..
I couldn't sleep at night because I dreaded going to this place everyday.

I am writing this review as an ex employee. My position was Field training manager. Worst experience of my life. Wasted 4 months of my life. Still getting ripped off at tax returns and no one is answering from the company. They hire you with all false promises.. and once you are left with no money to support yourself they kick you out.

I was promised a drive range of max 1.5 hours per day,where I drove till Huntsville,ON and further (i.e. 3 hours drive one side). Per hour rate is a lie too.. they only pay you that rate for per presentations ..and max you get paid for 2 hours per presentations.. in reality they last for 3 to 6 hours.

You only get to do 2 presentations in a good..
And their Lots of other tricks they play with you that you don't realize till you leave the job..

Worst experience for me as a new  comer in Canada. 
They ripped me off in every way.

My experience is not alone in this . They build you up with great promise of sales and an easy way to make money. When in acuallty it's extremely long hours, very unprediable pay plus terrible management. No positivity , instead they belittle you and hold an unrelatistic expectation.

This company also plays with your morals . Forcing you to sell an overpriced product to hard working families that are completely uninterested in what you have to say. They also heavily push you too sell it to your family during the "trail period". There only motive is to get money from you because they know you won't last after seeing what your really in for .

Was told:
Hours - 11am - 6pm
Sales - 1 in 3 homes
Presentation time - 1 hour 

In reality : 
Hours - 10am - 11pm 
Sales - 1 in 10 or 12 homes
Presentation time - 2 - 3 hours 

Avoid this company like the plague .

I enjoy working with new people on a daily basis. In this job you are continuously meeting new people and finding new innovative ways to market the product to the customer as well as finding new ways to help the customer.
I work with a great management staff who are always there to support you when you need them, and provide you with any additional help or training that you require. I like working as a part of a team as I am always learning off of my coworkers, especially the new hires.
The most enjoyable part of my job is getting to travel for work and see new places.


Arrive early, prep the equipment before the meeting. We then found out where we were selling, for example, Ayr. We would all hop in our cars and drive to a Tim Hortons where we put in time until we were given an address. 
There were a couple of people that I trained with that I did not like there selling techniques so I opted to not include that in my selling.
Most enjoyable was meeting new people and teaching them all about water and why the products were great. Down side was having to do this in a smokers home. 
You could be away from home for 10 - 15 hours and not make a sale so when you break it down, and factor in the cost of the gas, for me it was not a money maker. Others did extremely well.

If your looking for a opportunity to make a difference in people's lives this is for you. Start in the morning with advanced training too grow your knowledge to better yourself and help you get to where YOU want to be. Endless opportunity when you put your mind to it. This is a company that doesn't let you fall and is there to help you when you need support. Before you hit the road there is a daily morning meeting to motivate each other and help one another with any questions you may have.

Very disappointed with this company. Their marketing strategy is terrible and very misleading. I'm guessing 1 out of every 1000000 hand cards wins a PS4 or Xbox One, never mind the jeep. Also, when you have angry hostile managers working for the company you set your employees up for failure and a lot of angry customers. Be up front and say that only 1 in so many people win the extravagant prizes. Never book appointments with this company-low integrity & they put their employees in very unsafe predicaments. They should go out in 2's. Who does that anymore?, especially when these employes are going into people's houses alone.
