Matrix Aviation Solutions Inc.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The type of people that I got to work with. The summer time was our busiest season. They have projects all over Canada and the travelling was fine too! But they hired some pretty amazing people u got to work long side with

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Waiting for your itinerary to get emailed to you
 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was a lot of fun! I got to work a few different positions within the company 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Toolbox meeting would take place, and then you do the position you came in to do (baker's assistant) and you got to work solely. Take your breaks whenever it worked for you and then baker. Serve breakfast. And then start your closing stuff and your done for the day!

The CEO sent me personal insults via email when I made the decision to accept a better job with higher pay! 

 Matrix is well known for its poor treatment of it’s staff, especially field staff (camp cooks etc), so be very wary.  Read your contract thoroughly- in it they state that they reserve the right to fire their field staff for any reason (personality etc) and if they decide to fire you while you are in the field you must pay your own way home.  This can cost literally $1000s of dollars if you are in one of their camps in Nunavut.  They do not have the interest of their hard working field staff at heart...   you’re better off working in these camps as a independent contractor (Matrix takes over 50% of what the projects pay for field staff off your wage- as a independent contractor you take home 100%).  They’re not worth it.

I worked with this company for about a year in the recruitment (office in Langley) section and it was awful. Everyone tries to throw you under the bus, including the HR Manager who will do literally anything to keep accountability off herself. The Pres is inappropriate and toxic, derogatory comments towards women etc. He will only approve office hires if they are young and pretty. He flies off the handle at a moments notice and just fires people for not knowing what to do, even though they provide ZERO training. The CEO is non confrontational and will not get involved in anything. When I was there, I saw turn over of 9 people in an office that only has 11 people, mostly because the environment is so toxic. They pay well, but trust me, its not worth it. 

I have gotten to see and work with many differnt ethic groups while working in Canada's high north . Having completed 22 years in the Canadian armed Forces and traveled the world this would have to been the best experince of my life so far .Being an outdoors person and enjoying wildlife hunting and fishing .

Flying in all types of aircraft and meeting different people has been a hightlight working with Matrix . I have learned many diferent skills and fixes from a wide variety of skilled personal .

I started to work with Matrix as Baker a few months ago,  the leading ladies at the office are very helpful and always in touch, the work load is reasonable and the pay excellent, this company takes care of its employees, they pay travel and hotel, you are always covered and the camp sites are just beautiful, yes you are in the bush, in the heart of the mountain, feels like leaving in another world and I always look forward to the new adventure, I will be loyal and stay with this company for as long as they ll have me, and I definitely recommend this company if you are looking for a job, look no further

contracts are based on 12 hour days which are greatly exceeded without additional compensation. the company is good at what it does but uses up and spits out staff. theres no work life balance. high stress environment. owner is an absolute tyrant. people rarely stick around. 

wake up early. work 12 - 20 hours. sleep. do it again. get paid for 8-12 hours. 
i learned not to fall for a company’s potential. 
the management is reactionary and has its hands tied to make it better by a tyrant owner. 
people on the crews are generally good
hardest is working all the time
best was working with a good bunch of like minded workers


They are one of the worst companies to work for. No leadership no guidance of what needs to be done. They pay you a day rate but expect you to work 20 hours a day. When your on the job there should be 10 workers and you get 5 and out of the 5 3 are good. Hence the 20 hours. You can be sitting at home and get the phone call and you have to drop everything for these guys. No schedule of days on or off. You have to call the office and say it’s been 8 weeks can I go home. And once you get home there calling in 4 days for you to come back. All and all stay away if you are a family person

Amazing opportunities to see Canada's remote North. Unequaled company support in and out of camps. Communication in and out of remote locations was superior to that of other companies. Travel and expenses were company guarantees.Work in camp although tryin due to weather was made easier by placement of protocols and standards of work ethic. High risk high energy work . Not for the faint of heart.

I love working with Matrix Aviation.  I get to work all across Canada. Every camp I have been to is like my second home. The matrix staff and support teams are always there to help and answer questions when needed. I meet so many good people it’s wonderful. I am also a medic and have medical gear that is organized and clean. I have been with them for about four years and hope to continue being asked to make my part of the process seamless to the client. We are a family. Come and join us. 

They expected you to drop everything when they call and leave sometimes on hours notice to go to work across the country. 
Their head HR lady has to be the most unorganized person I have had to deal with in my professional career. The day pay isn't great for the hours you work. Unless you really need the work stay away from this company. Sometimes they can't tell you how long you will be gone for
