Pros

You get paid on time. That's about it.

Cons

Very clingy superficial and high strung groups of people that gossip, snap/yell and back stab you on all levels. Management do not get along with each other, so there is much in fighting, UNETHICAL and deceitful behaviour to make a sale happen. They do anything for a sale to appease the HQ Texas gripping monsters. Extremely closed minded. They look out to fire people, instead of giving them better training or promoting within. Training is awful. Procedures are different from the US and Canada. So if you get trained or receive advice by someone from the US it is useless, because the US have no clue how to run the Canadian offices and only train you the way they do it in the US. Waist of time. You will end up doing three peoples worth of work. They will not understand why you have so some much work to do and will not be happy to pay you overtime. They indirectly encourage you to not take your breaks or your full lunch. You will be treated like an 12 year old. The pay is awful. You can only take time off when it is best for the company.

Pros

I worked here from Oct 2023 to March 2025 in Denver. I loved it here and only left due to me moving and when moving they even offered some hybrid positions within the company which I appreciated. The people you work with are great and same with the customers. The day to day is not to hectic but you still stay busy throughout the day which is nice. You manage most of the store operations and have a hand in practically in every part of the office. The job teaches you about not just sales but operations, invoicing, inventory, and ordering. So it’s a pretty diverse position. You get what you give because the commission is pretty aggressive for the industry which is nice and still having a base salary is nice too. They are understanding with the area if we had a snow storm they would always either close the shop or have a delay open which was nice. At no point did I feel my job was at jeopardy nor did I feel I was underpaid and all my experiences with upper management went well.

Cons

I will say that the review below this is not me. Its ridiculous that someone feels the need to pretend to be me and write a false review because they feel some type of way towards Geoshack. My cons are not towards Geoshack leadership or The company but the person who is pretending to be me is putting my relationships at risk for no reason. Thankfully I still stay in conatct with the team at GeoShack and was able to let them know that that review was not mine.
