Advantage Group Work-life balance reviews

Great place to start your career. Training is minimal but you can learn on the job. Lots of exposure to different projects can lead to quick advancement.

One of the worst places I've ever worked.

Former Staffing Coordinator (Former Employee) - Cambridge, ON - 16 May 2022

This was one of the worst places I have ever worked. First of all, management LOVES to micro-manage - insisting you cc them on every single email you send. Secondly, there is an unwritten rule that you will work through your lunch break, which is only 30 minutes in a 9 hour work day. You are expected to be on call at all hours of the day/ night - there is NO work-life balance. For the amount of effort you're expected to put in, you receive very little pay and the benefit package was also terrible. If this is the type of job you'd like to build your career on, strongly consider working for another company.

Worked there as a staffing coordinator in the office 8-5 but expected to answer calls 24/7. Very little training and support provided. Repetitive tasks.

Long hours

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
