Agilus Work Solutions Employee Reviews for Laborer

Not the worst company to work for. Could do a better deal with wage from client to staff ratio. They could provide more regular work as there are long lulls between good assignments.

Pros

Work when you want

Cons

lull between work

I was warned Temp Agencies have a bad reputation, but Agilus took great care of their workers.

Temporary Labourer (Former Employee) - Windsor, ON - 24 February 2022

Being that i was looking for work in the middle of a pandemic and no hope id find a position quick, my Agilus HR Representative had great communication with me and guaranteed me stability in my position or forward me to another Rep to set me up with something more fitting. I always had a job no matter my circumstance. That stability and familiarity meant everything. Their HR Reps really are looking for your best interest.

Pros

Great communication with human resource reps, guaranteed work

Cons

likely only guaranteed general labour positions, HR has NO idea what it is actually like in the facilities so the agency's orientation is very vague, makes it hard to gauge what to expect, contracts are long, low rate of hiring on

Company has bad reputation...

General Laborer (Current Employee) - Windsor, ON - 22 February 2018

You cannot rely on this company. They gossip about employees with temps and vise-versa. No integrity-they don't come out at explain things to you. They are not trustworthy.

Cons

many mistakes about placements, hours and wage is worst

Do not care about their employees

General Labourer (Former Employee) - Windsor, ON - 4 January 2018

As an employee you're disposable for lucas work and they do not care how long you have worked for the company or what your situation might be, if they want to let you go, they will let you go without any consequences. If you work midnights, you're stuck there. they will tell you to start at midnights and you'll be moved to days but that never happens.

Pros

easily find a job

Cons

not secure

Freedom to do my best

Temporary Labourer (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 10 April 2017

Sometimes it's hard to be a minority in a blue collar work environment. Talentcor is different from every other agency because they understand this. I'm an excellent worker and get good reviews from the clients. But sometimes the clients' employees are not satisfied with my contributions. I know that if I have a problem I can talk to my recruiter and they will find some sort of solution. Talentcor has my back, and for that I do my best for them and for the client every time. Their support and understanding gives me the freedom to do my best, exceed expectations, and make a positive contribution to the realization of the clients' goals. Do a good job and they will treat you good. That's all there is to it.

Pros

Respect, availability of work, variety of clients

Cons

Forklift trainer "...will only pass you if I lilke you. If you don't like you, you don't get your license."

Talentcor

Laborer (Former Employee) - London, ON - 2 April 2016

The people were very nice and well informed and handled me very well. I learned that quantity and quality can be attained. I milled a key slot into a lifter and assembled the pin and roller. I also did quality assurance on the parts before packing them for shipment.The management was in my opinion was old school and not unattainable, more like a boys club. The hardest part about my job was to set up the mill so the parts would pass the quality checks. My co-workers were the best and i always worked well with them as part of the team. I mostly enjoyed going to work as i enjoy working.

Pros

It was close to home

Cons

Rules

General Labourer (Current Employee) - Windsor, ON - 18 March 2016

Pros

Maintained family life due to rotating shifts

Cons

takes long time if and when hired full time

it was over all good

General Labourer (Current Employee) - Richmond, BC - 16 March 2016

I was working in different places every week and that keeps things interesting and I would learn new skills. the only down side was the drive to work was 2.5 hours each day and that's a bit much

Great people and lots learned in a short time.

Team Member/General Laborer (Former Employee) - Lakeshore, ON - 31 December 2015

I worked from 10pm to 6am in a factory setting doing general labourer jobs. It was a fast-paced atmosphere and I learned quickly how to keep working and to effectively keep busy all night. I enjoyed working with my co-workers and we helped each other out to make each job enjoyable and rewarding. The hardest part of my job was performing each task quickly as well as accurately. The most enjoyable part of the job was working nights, being able to wear comfortable clothes and the ability to get my job done independently and to be able to approach the management when I needed assistance. Everyone was so nice.

Pros

being able to be paid for all shift, including breaks.

Wouldn't recommend

General labourer (Current Employee) - Tecumseh ontario - 10 June 2015

Lucas works was very helpful in getting me at my job (TRQSS) and they were very quick to answer emails or phone calls and were very friendly. Although, when a company is getting paid an hourly rate of your hard earned money to just do those things it isn't enough. Contracts through my company were expected around the year mark and when asked by Lucas works employees what was taking so long as it had been over a year that we were there we received no answer. The team at Lucas works is out for your money but not to be your advocate. Speaking specifically of TRQSS temps there have been temp agencies that pulled away for the reason that the temps were treated unfairly and not given the right opportunities but Lucas Works doesn't seem to care about that. This has been a very discouraging process and many people have quit and gone elsewhere where this company was not involved.
