Project Manager (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 10 August 2023

Low salaries compared to market and no good benefits. Job security is poor, people get fired left and right. The only good thing is work from home, otherwise it’s not great

The most exploiting companh I’ve ever seen

Clerk (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 7 March 2023

It appears that the employer sought legal counsel to draft employment documents that serve their interests while exploiting workers. The documents are written to ensure that they can extract the maximum amount of labor from employees without breaking any laws. Additionally, they require a proof of Social Insurance Number (SIN) before hiring.There are numerous unfavorable conditions in the documents, including - arriving at least 10 minutes early for every assignment, - agreeing to work up to 70 hours a week and 13 hours a day, - paying for expenses related to qualification verification, - accepting any assignment given. - Employees are also prohibited from disclosing company information to third parties, and failure to comply could result in legal action. (Imagine you tell your friend you had a bad day at work. It’s not just normal confidential information, but ANY information)If you are employed by this company, be aware that any dispute could be challenging to defend since you are not directly employed by the company where you are assigned. The documents are also overly complex, making it easy to unintentionally break terms. Furthermore, the company does not offer benefits but requires employees to sign an exploitative agreement that could harm them if legal issues arise.Don’t sign any documents at this company as they seem suspicious and exploitative.

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Up to 13 hours a day, 70 hours a week, ask for the proof of SIN before hiring, arriving at least 10 minutes early for each assignment (that 10 min is not paid), pay for expenses they spend on verifying your qualifications for work

Good place to work

Forklift Operator(Counter balance)/Order Picker (Former Employee) - Brampton, ON - 2 May 2022

Good place to work. Nothing special, just like any other agencies. Your schedule isn’t guaranteed since it’s an agency. But they’re really easy to deal with and they’re there for you when you need them.

Awful

Drywall carrier (Former Employee) - St. John's, NL - 3 May 2021

your are essentially “thrown to the wolves”, you’re given no Information on what your job is. There are no breaks, with long hours of painful labor. No worth the pay in the slightest.

Pros

Hire quick

Cons

No training
