Canter-Power-Systems

When I started at Canter Power, we were fewer than 50 employees. Today, we’re over 400 strong — the largest single Generac dealer in the U.S. — and still growing fast.

There’s no ceiling here for career growth. Whether you're just starting out or ready to lead, the opportunities are real — and the work we do truly matters.

But what really makes this place special is the people. The team has stayed grounded and positive, even through COVID and rapid expansion. The culture has matured, but never lost its heart. People here really do care — about the mission, our customers, and each other.

Canter recently added a 401(k), and the health insurance is genuinely affordable — it’s covered 90% of my medical claims after meeting the deductible, and that’s made a big difference in my life.

If you’re looking for a career where you’re supported, challenged, and appreciated, Canter Power is a great place to be.

The job listing on Indeed is pure garbage.   It is a blatant lie to get people to work for them. You don't just drive. You are put into a lot of dangerous situations.   You have to move 500 lb. Generators and 100+ lb. Concrete pads in sometimed dangerous and unsafe conditions. Management does not care for your well-being. As a worker, you are treated like less than nothing.  Ken Canter, the owner, is a bully.  To him, you are nothing more than a slave.  You are forced to work at his house.  If you refuse, they threaten to fire ypu.  You are forced to do many things that are not in the job description.   They "say" you are out of town 2 to 3 aus a week. That is a lie.  More often than not, you are gone all week.   You are constantly cheated outof per diem.
  The office workers are treated like gold. They can do no wrong.  The sales people are a joke. No clue how to do their job.  But us workers ae treated like dirt.   Avoid this place like the plague.

I worked at Canter Power Systems for about 2.5 years. I enjoyed driving the truck and staying in hotels,  I didn't enjoy the unexpected challenges that came with the job such as not being safe when trying to install a 500 lb generator on a platform on a hillside. Also the sales people didn't care about how we were going to do the job, they were just interested in their commission. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
work mainly from home, no meetings, comm. only 1099 tax.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When they forced us to start traveling in all 15 states that they are in.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I was an outside Rep only no need to ever go to office.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Run appointments and give quotes for Generators.

To say they don't care about you is an understatement. You are lied to constantly by management.  Ken Canter, the owner, treats you like a slave and he treats you like garbage. There is little to no work/life balance.  There is a lot of hypocrisy and double standards at Canter.  There is a lot of backstabbing and brown nosing.  Hard work gets punished. While the slackers and worthless get rewarded.  

They pay you by the job instead of by the hour. You don’t get paid to call customers to set up schedule, no pay to pick up parts, no pay for rainy days etc. You have to drive a van with a generator on the roof, which looks ridiculous and makes the van unstable at highway speeds.The company medical insurance is expensive and does not pay anything when needed. 

Most people at the company are great, easy to get along with, but upper management is about as bad as it gets. Company was not faithful to my offer letter, mislead me and ended up giving me less money. Don’t expect a personal life, be expected to work 55-60 hour weeks, from dusk til dawn and management expecting the company always first, personal/family life second. 

Leadership encourages ownership and initiative, and there is a clear path for those who want to develop professionally. The team is aligned around achieving results while continuing to improve processes and expand the business.

Overall, it’s a great place for someone looking to grow and be part of a company with momentum.

I love what i do here at Canter Power systems.   IF you are looking for growth this is your place.   I doubt you can find a place that has the same perks as Canter Power Systems. 

This is a good place to start a new career if you are young and strong enough.  You probably want to have some type of electrical work experience or a Truck driving experience.
