Avigilon

My day started by looking at the big screen to see how many orders for the day. I then had to review and print all orders for the day and keep track of which co-worker was doing which order. I learned how to complele a B-13 Canada customs paperwork for over seas shipping .I had a great bunch of co-workers, to whom we all got along with each other and saw the bigger picture of propelling the company to the next level. I think the hardest part of the the day was leaving at the end of my shift. I thoroughly enjoyed working and there was always something to do, just not enough time in the day to do it. I regularly requested to work on Saturdays as there was much to do.I pretty much enjoyed the whole job, there was nothing I could or wanted to complain about.

If you want to work in a fast-paced business where you are expected to work Stat Holidays & put in tons of extra time this is the place for you.  Perfect for single people who do not have a family or want to part of the world socially.  Management believes in fear based tatics in order to get work done and many do not have any skills nor have any idea how to do the work they expect of their team.  They do not believe in promoting within as management fears that these team members will have power PLUS know what they are doing while moulding a team... what a concept

I did a contract role in HR. The hiring process was extremely slow, and the recruiter didn't know if she was coming or going. I had 6 (?!) interviews, then got offered a 3 month contract. The process took over 3 months start to finish.

There is zero tolerance for any constructive feedback on process/environment, and the leadership in HR was very poor. How can a leader in HR be so awkward around people?! 

There were some good people there (this was a year ago) but the high turnover has continued. If you're a heads down 'yes man/woman' you might be ok, but if not best to steer clear of this place.

-Extremely low pay.

-No work-life balance.

-Absolutely no career advancement.

-Team leaders do not understand the differences between authority and leadership.

-Neither English nor French was the official languages when working. 

-Work place cliques.

-This company cultivate a culture of mistrust.

I knew working for Avigilon as an assembler was a bad idea before I started, but I did not know it was this bad. Working for this company only when you ran out of other options.

Avigilon is not a place I would recommend anyone to work at.  The require long hours for little pay.  Little or no recognition.  The work culture is managed by fear and threats.  Management requires you to work most of your holidays.  

They have a good product and it is selling well.  Management does not know how to forecast sales and provide enough labor to meet the sales demands.  Until this changes it is not a good place to work.

For me, this place is in between good and bad. I'm standing for hours everyday and they asking us for an overtime, it seems to them that we're machines in front of their eyes ( maybe because we're not working in the office I guess).

My tenure with Avigilon was very unusually long, for a tech company. And I have lots of good experiences there and even more bad. 
The salary range is good, for a reason. Review your decision to join CAREFULLY.

Every day was like a new day, because there was always something new to learn and the more I learned, the more confident I felt about my position. All of my co-workers were friendly, and supportive people not only work related problems but any other issues too. Management provided us with a safe and friendly environment to work at.

You cannot find any worse company than Avigilon.
I am surprised seeing even those few positive feedback here?!!!
Everybody at Avigilon you talk to is looking for a new job.
Believe it or not, 90% of the employees have worked there less than 2 years!
Never risk your life and job by going to Avigilon.
I hope I could rate them ZERO STAR.

Management refuses to learn from their mistakes. They deserve every bad thing that comes their way for the way they treat people and the people's lives they have turned upside down. Culture of fear abounds and if you do not succumb to brainwashing you will be gone in 60 seconds.
