It appears that the employer sought legal counsel to draft employment documents that serve their interests while exploiting workers. The documents are written to ensure that they can extract the maximum amount of labor from employees without breaking any laws. Additionally, they require a proof of Social Insurance Number (SIN) before hiring.

There are numerous unfavorable conditions in the documents, including 
- arriving at least 10 minutes early for every assignment, 
- agreeing to work up to 70 hours a week 
and 13 hours a day, 
- paying for expenses related to qualification verification, 
- accepting any assignment given. 
- Employees are also prohibited from disclosing company information to third parties, and failure to comply could result in legal action. (Imagine you tell your friend you had a bad day at work. It’s not just normal confidential information, but ANY information)

If you are employed by this company, be aware that any dispute could be challenging to defend since you are not directly employed by the company where you are assigned. The documents are also overly complex, making it easy to unintentionally break terms. Furthermore, the company does not offer benefits but requires employees to sign an exploitative agreement that could harm them if legal issues arise.

Don’t sign any documents at this company as they seem suspicious and exploitative. 

Very naggy - They will call and leave a voicemail & then, based on the date & time on my phone's call log and the date & time stamp on my e-mail, they would hang up and send me an e-mail asking to call them, SEVERAL times. It isn't necessary. I have call display & voicemail. I WILL call back. 

No support for family medical emergencies - You're only a number, if that. A family member had a medical emergency. I missed days in 2 consecutive weeks because of this. On Wednesday they told me I could get EI to take care of family member and to let them know by Friday. Family member did not need care so on Friday I e-mailed them to tell them I needed to go back to work. That Monday they issued me an ROE that had "Quit" as part of the reason for issuing the ROE. ROE also has letter code "E," the letter code for quit. Hit a rough patch and they do their employees bad like this. Washed their hands of it. No support or understanding.  If you got or has trouble/issues they will get rid of you as quickly as they can & do anything/use any means to do it. Life happens. Can't always control everything. They're a prime example of a company who would post your job vacancy before your obituary if you died.

Working with Advantage personnel at Altimax company has been a unique and rewarding experience that has provided me with valuable insights into the logistics and operations of mail sorting. Here’s my perspective on various aspects of the job:
Throughout my time here, I’ve learned the importance of efficiency and attention to detail. Each piece of mail represents someone’s communication or package, so ensuring accuracy in sorting is crucial. Additionally, I’ve gained skills in teamwork and problem-solving, as we often need to collaborate to address challenges like misrouted items or high-volume periods.
The management team at AltiMax is approachable and supportive. They prioritize open communication and regularly seek feedback from employees. This creates an environment where everyone feels valued and heard. Management also emphasizes safety protocols and provides ongoing training, which helps maintain a secure workplace.
In conclusion, my experience at Altimax has been enriching both professionally and personally. It’s a place where hard work is recognized, and every employee plays a vital role in the overall success of the operation.

These guys placed me in a position ( which was temp at the time) The company actually decided to hire me on full-time after 2 months.  Advantage DID NOT let me know that the company I was temping for had actually hired me, they didn't congratulate me on getting the position and they gipped my last pay I had to fight for it.  Terrible communication I would not recommend this temp agency to anyone and I have worked for many and this is the only one I have anything bad to say about. The girls that work there are super stuck up I have gone in a few times to pick up pay stubs and they just look at you as if to say "what do you want" not a friendly environment at all. They didn't let me know about filling out timesheets I had to figure that out on my own as well. that is another big con, if you want your paystubs you have to actually go to their office and pick them up, ( are they too cheap to buy stamps?) Just a terrible experience all in all with them only good thing out of it was the job they did hook me up with IS a GREAT job and I'm glad I don't have to deal with Advantage anymore

A heavy workload for the Staffing Coordinator.
Review all resumes, to see who is qualified for open positions. Print all resumes, call potential candidates, screening questions; then schedule into the office for registration.
Scan all documents, add new employees, and input all information into Computer. 
Our initial Manager was fantastic, I loved her management style. Unfortunately, the manager left the company before we were fully trained.
The hardest part of the job was the amount of daily workload.  Many times I came into the office early and also worked late. As well the goals for the office to meet was unrealistic.
I don't know how they think someone else can fill all orders with qualified candidates when no qualified candidates apply?



A typical day at Advantage Personnel varies based on the assignment, but it’s usually fast-paced and requires attention to detail. I learned how to adapt quickly to different work environments and gained valuable experience in time management and teamwork. Management was generally supportive and communicative, although experiences may vary by location and supervisor. The workplace culture was professional and task-oriented, with a strong emphasis on reliability and punctuality. The hardest part of the job was adjusting to new roles frequently, especially when transitioning between assignments with little training. However, the most enjoyable part was the opportunity to meet new people, develop diverse skills, and experience different industries

Calling outbound for market research. I learned a lot about overcoming objections and this also  allowed me to become skilled in sales. The management was great I was blessed to move up quickly there because of my hard work and dedication to my job. My co-workers are very competitive as this sales in a way but we all got along great The hardest part of job was leaving I was layed off as my contract closed down so it was very difficult as I loved my job and was very happy their. The most enjoyable part was working with such great people and to be a part of that makes me happy. We all work so well together and it was like we were family.

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. 

I cant speak on a typical day because no one has reached out to me, or responded to me. In the times we're living in, no one has the patience to sit for approximately a month without work around here. Thank goodness I had a few job offers and took one that suited me or I'd most likely be homeless at the moment. They dont care about helping you, or securing anything for you. They have ruined my outlook on temp agencies. A smile in your face isn't what professionalism is. Actually doing the job and being accountable, competent, respectful and ethical is professionalism.

The Saint John branch has No loyalty to their clients., This company has a tendency to tell you they have lots of work, but they have you sit home and wait for weeks on end. Asking for an ROE they will refuse, do to them having to much work, and yet your still sitting home. If your lucky/not so lucky, to get an ROE from them it will say qut not shortage of work.this isn't me venting, this is an experience  I've been witness too. Eight weeks of not working is ridiculous, was the work Advantage If there's so much!?!
 i will be writing a letter to the editor as well.
