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

Let's preface this by noting that the reviews posted on Sep 4, 2018, Sep 19, 2018, Sep 23, 2018 are all FAKE. The nice little group photo they have uploaded is a PR stunt to show diversity. Good try, guys. Spend more time focusing on actual change rather than fix your social presence online. Or maybe learn how to avoid lawsuits, many of which seem to take a nice bite out of your revenue. The pro is: They'll hire anybody. If you're Korean you are GUARANTEED to be employed by them. If you're an experienced sales person, avoid at all costs.

Cons

Favoritism toward Korean nationality employees, regional directors are known to withhold golden prospects to lower level sales reps, you will rarely see your commission because once the deal has been closed it is revealed that the account belongs to somebody else. (Nice little scam for the regional directors or managers to pocket your hard-earned commission.)

Pros

You get training into what dental implants are and the benefits of them. Honestly if you’re interested in dentistry, their training is quite informative.

Cons

Horrid work environment and it’s quite clear they are requesting internal employees to leave good reviews because there’s no way they should be 3/5 stars. - Korean EVERYTHING. CEO rarely visits (met him once) and him and the higher ups speak ZERO English. - Terrible pay for a medical sales gig. I was the top performer on the eastern coast for a stint, and brought in > $600,000 for the business in a year. Commission on the year was just under $20,000... Awful percentage. Benco, Biomet etc are 3x that for reference. - Lousy $34K salary (expected at a young age) but the annual bonus raised that to $35,000 after two years of work. 1.5% a year at a salary that low is silly. - Had a side business of making websites for some of my clients (this actually led to numerous contracts FOR Hiossen) and I was terminated for having a “second job.” Hiring contract stated we could have a job as long as it didn’t interfere with work/it was a competitor. - Insane hours. I cannot stress this enough. Required Friday night and weekend work days, I was working 50-70 hours a week varying, for that salary. Not worth it.
