Great Company!!
Recruiter (Former Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 12 November 2018
I was a government recruiter at MaxSys for just shy of a year. The training that was provided gave me the opportunity to learn and grow as a recruiter. The management was very understanding when it came to issues or time-off requests. It was very difficult to find suitable candidates at times for specific positions, however everyone worked together as a team to complete difficult tasks. Overall I really enjoyed my time as MaxSys and would recommend it to others.
Pros
great coworkers
Cons
none
Unhealthy Work Enviroment
Private Sector Recruiter (Former Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 13 December 2018
The CEO is rude, and be littles his employees. IF you call in sick they guilt you to come in, even though you are entitled to sick days. Some of the staff made it bearable, but the managers were horrible and not team leaders.
Manager Recruiter
Recruiting Manager (Former Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 6 October 2018
Long hours of work with no incentive of any sort. Had to work round the clock on call. Very bad work atmosphere. The team I managed were in a tough spot so was I. The top management acts as though all is ok. Seen staff being ill-treated in a very sutle way by the Payroll at head office. Too many mistakes by the Payroll and there is no courtesy to admit or correct their mistakes. Very rude Payroll staff. The Top management knows but does not care about recruiting staff.
Cons
Please stay away from slavery. Poor pay
Great company to work for!

MaxSys is one of the best staffing agencies in Canada! They have the resources of a large company and the customer service of a small company! Happy to be apart of this team.

Administrative Support (Former Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 30 September 2018
All round unprofessional and horrible place to work.
The place sucks the life out of employees.
I have learnt nothing. Slavery from upper management and owner
Extreme intolerance to people with color at this office.
Turnover is maximum in both recruiters and admin staff.
Its a toxic environment.
Join management cliques and get all bonus and awards and get the benefit of bullying co workers
Terrible HR.
Morale and motivation is an all time low.
Stay away.

Receptionist and Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 17 September 2018
This company is massive and deals with many different types of people, from high end consultants to construction workers. Being introduced to such a diverse environment you learn how to deal with any situation and create POSITIVE relationships with co-workers.

No way to make a job permanent
A day in the life with Maxsys
Stockroom Associate, Lawtons (Current Employee) – Halifax, NS – 9 June 2018
I dropped by Maxsys office a few months ago and have not been without work since.
Staff are some of the most professional and friendly I've ever seen.
Work hard and the work will come to you along with the diverse work environments you'll experience. Just don't be lazy and be on time.
Would strongly recommend for those coming back to the work force.

Temp Worker (Former Employee) – Halifax, NS – 2 May 2018
They find you work you are qualified to do, however stability is an issue and you will often find yourself without work for extended periods of time..
Pros
They find work for you.
Cons
Not a dependable source of steady income.
Fun workplace, and always great staff to work with.
VOLUNTEER (Former Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 6 April 2018
Great workplace, Getting to know new people in a different work zone, always occupied, people are there to answer your inquires. Basic and easy going job. Provide 100% dedication.
Horrible
General Labourer (Former Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 4 April 2018
Workers don't tell you all info about a job which means you don't know what you're doing, what you're making, and sometimes you barely even know where to go. They give you 3 jobs then leave you alone for weeks. They give you jobs that are very far away from you even when you request that they don't. When they mess up, you get contacted by a higher up trying to give you a lecture about how hard they work. VERY hard to get a hold of agents for ANYTHING be it job rescheduling, inqueries, or emergencies.
Pros
Flexible hours because you barely get any
Cons
Everything
Ignorant company
Labourer (Former Employee) – Moncton, NB – 21 February 2018
Dont fall for this company .they make it seem like they're trying to help and then they'll just throw you aside when you're not making them enough money.
I put my trust in them and they completely screwed me over at the worst timing possible.
Now I have two kids who've been suffering with nothing to eat for two months

Temp Worker (Former Employee) – Moncton, NB – 7 February 2018
they just truly don't care for their employees. never try to help and definitely would never let you be bought out. temp agencies just use people to get a profit and it gets sad

back-breaking work
Cleaner (Part-time) (Former Employee) – Ontario – 2 January 2018
Causing picking cans from under thousands of seat was a back-breaking job, and that would cause difficulty in the next days of work. some cans left by the fans would have liquid in them and we had no way to dispose of the liquids so by putting them in the garbage bag and have to carry that around would cause even more mess in the workplace and make the place dangerous to work on
Productive and Full of Learning
Recruiter (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 7 December 2017
Great Management support and excellent guidance on the work front. No micromanagement with extremely lively work culture.
The managers guide you through the ways of productivity and great team bonding initiatives
