AFIMAC Canada Employee Reviews

AFIMAC is a decent company to work for. I struggled with the lack of communication unless they need you. All that said, for the most part, I enjoy working with them. All decent people.

Pros

Fair pay

Cons

Long hours to be expected in this industry. If you expect 9-5, you're in the wrong place.

Looks good on paper

Private Investigator (Former Employee) - Windsor, ON - 21 June 2022

It all looks good on paper but its just a toxic environment with incompetent owner that is more worried about playing with their toys in the car then watching their business. Dont hire Elite security they are a bunch of amateurs.

Pros

nothing good to say

Cons

long hours low pay

Excellent Company

Close Protection (Current Employee) - Greater Toronto Area, ON - 29 August 2021

Excellent company. The manager of the close protection division is a great guy and actually cares about his employees. One of the best companies I have ever worked for. My co-workers are excellent, I would recommend for anyone looking to get into the security field.

Loved traveling all over Canada

Security Guard (Former Employee) - Ontario - 23 November 2019

Management not well organized. Lost my job because I missed one assignment. Which at no fault of my own. Training is rushed and you are then put right on the job.

Engineering

Power Engineer (Former Employee) - NL - 13 May 2019

If it's part-time work you want with good living setup and no long term commitment this is an excellent way to go. I would recommend giving it a try, it worked well for me and I will do it again anytime. Pay is slightly low for regular hrs but when you figure in the extra time at OT it not bad all things considered.

Pros

Good for short term infrequent employment

Cons

For the environment pay is a little low.

Not as great as the ad says

Disaster and Crisis Response (Current Employee) - Milton, ON - 14 April 2019

You may travel if you're lucky you need to be lucky enough to get enough hours for EI to make it a real long term job. Pay isn't the greatest hourly but when you work you make it on mostly overtime hours.

Pros

Travel all over Canada if lucky

Cons

Unpredictable, no scheduled shifts, could be off work for months

Toxic

Professional Security Officer (Former Employee) - London, ON - 10 November 2018

Coworkers removed from site without warning, horrible HR & management, unreasonable expectations for consistent last minute shifts, and the company will turn their backs at the first opportunity. Stay away.

Pros

Pay

Cons

Management
