Service Technician (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 12 July 2021

Management was very two faced and was an old boy's club culture. You were sent to sites with no information and if you did not have all the necessary equipment because you were not given the proper information, somehow this was YOUR fault. Employee safety was not a priority for them either and they would tell you it was a priority but then throw you under the bus right after. They would put you in the on call rotation a day before without consideration that plans had already been made and thay had ample time to make arrangements but wait to the last second and ruin someone's holiday because of their poor planning.

Pros

Free breakfast every Friday

Cons

Culture of intimidation from management

Full steam ahead! Avante! Avante!

Executive Security Operative (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 19 July 2020

Not your average security position. Very attractive and luxurious on the outside! Very demanding and competitive on the inside! Was ecstatic to join the team as a new hire, was re assured I would be valued. Was told I was recruited at a interstellar period in time for the company. I Felt otherwise during Covid-19. I needed this! This job is active and high performance! Your average security guard is posted. Multiply that by 100 (more or less) at Avante! This job is a challenge and requires a lot of responsibility! Lots of pressure and deadlines, quotas to be met. Even more tense amongst some sort of political health pandemic. Nevertheless, purpose and kept busy! Lots of setbacks from Covid-19. Job considerably more dangerous and restrictions in place. Vague instruction for detail at times, procedure didn't seem consistent at times. Did not get introduced to the company appropriately. Got thrown into the field with basic training, had to learn 100% along the way. No formal introductions. Some training was missed. My evaluations went forgotten. Great title and role to play in the community. From my perspective and dealings in the field, their technology could be better. Should value and respect their frontline more, they are the crown jewel of their package(s) for clientele. Nonetheless scary encounters without warning such as vicious guard dogs(that will hurt you) of clients(who have been described unfairly) from management(who talks a lot of trash) exploiting the clients paranoia and needs for safety and security at times. A lot at stake. Not an easy -

Pros

Their vehicles, Wages, Hours

Cons

Turnover, book offs

Analyst (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 3 May 2019

Not the best company to work for. The management isnt the greatest and there is little to be said about the work culture and rapport of management with employees.
