Vertical Staffing Resources

Very easy interview and sign up process, can get work the next day...
Almost all jobs are min. wage only, with a chance for increase.  If an employer is interested in hiring you.  They cant right away. You'll go on a 'hire track' for the remainder of the set amount of time (6-12mon), agreed upon between the agency and the company. I assume this is how they make money...  For me, it was hard to work along side newer employees with less experience who are making more $s simply because they got hired through the company instead of going through an agency.  

However the sign-up process was quick... I walked in on a recruitment day with my ID and info and filled in the application (took me 15 mins) and had a quick conversation with a pleasant recruiter who was very knowledgeable and I walked out of there a half hour later with a full time job, working straight days no weekends and starting the next day.

They worked hard to balance my work schedule to my heavy personal life demands.. 

Working with a bunch of rotating strangers was a bit daunting.. with all the different personalities.. However the leads and supervisors were fair and knowledgeable.  And I made a few good friends.

My work day would consist of a gazillion repetitive movements while standing on hard concrete, with steel toes on, for 8 or 9 hours.  But they switch up after every break and I liked the fast paced environment. It kept me rejuvenated and it made the hours go by faster. 

All in all I would strongly recommend this agency if you need a job and time is of importance. Know what your signing up for in the long term as well as the short term.  Ask lots of questions.  They'll set you up with a job in no time!

Vertical Staffing has taken on the challenge of spinning the revolving door of Canntrust. Good luck with that! Canntrust is filled with a bunch of kids who indulge on the product of thier employer all day long. The lawsuits in the future of Canntrust will be extensive. They are very loose with safety and when you walk through the parkinglot at break you can see why. When the master grower and the golden boy being groomed for the glorious position of VP or whatever is being dangled in front of him, can be found sitting in a car with plumes of smoke wafting out, you know it's going to be fast and loose with the rules. If you want to find a career in the medical marijuana field this is not the place to do it. The best you can hope for, if you are not corporate oriented, is to lead a room and make $43,500 annual salary. So basically Canntrust will pay you that handsome sum while you bring in millions for them. Dont worry the "pot" gets sweetened with the promise of shares!!! How could you go wrong? Hey you can be the puppet of a 7 award winning legal growing facility and make $15 an hour through a temp agency and maybe get hired on permanently with more  hopes of aspiring to lead hand and get a whopping raise to $17. From there the sky is the limit folks... shares!! Big salary raises!!  All the promise of smoke and mirrors you can handle. Run away kids.. dont look back.

Vertical Staffing Resources (VSR) culture is defined by "Speed of Staffing"—a fast-paced, agile atmosphere where transparent communication and collective celebration of wins help balance the intensity of high-volume recruitment.

Regarding inclusion, VSR moves beyond corporate buzzwords by integrating diverse perspectives into their core business strategy.  Employees typically find that their unique backgrounds are treated as assets, allowing for more nuanced candidate matching and a broader reach into the diverse industrial markets the firm serves.

Growth at VSR is a balance of skill set and performance-driven. The first months mark the transition from foundational training to specialized desk management. For high performers, the "Vertical" ladder is real; the company favors internal promotion, frequently transitioning successful Account managers to team leads. 

VSR offers a challenging, yet rewarding learning curve and a demanding pace, but it rewards self-starters with a supportive social fabric and tangible career advancement. It is a workplace where autonomy is high and professional growth is limited only by one's own drive.

I have worked for Vertical for 4 years, and counting. A young company striving to separate themselves from the "big guys", they are front-runners for innovation, consistency, and a positive experience for both the employees and clients. I have been given opportunities to grow with the company as well, with 3 promotions in my time with them. Hard work is recognised and rewarded! A positive environment to work in, with a great team! We have fun yearly kick-off conferences in Niagara Falls and Blue Mountain! Although there are busy times of the year because of the nature of this business, bonuses are given for hard work, and achievements. I love helping people find a job and be able to provide for their families, and helping clients with their staffing needs.
I look forward to many years of consistent employment with Vertical Staffing Resources!

Paid very well for the work. Onsite staff/supervisors were people from another company. Paid breaks, including lunch. Very physically demanding. Extremely exhausting. Expect long hours in the hot sun, constant work until break periods.

Vertical management aren't great at communicating, but payment is prompt and quick - no delays, no holdups, no setbacks. 

If you work with this company, doublecheck what you're actually being paid. And be patient when waiting for payment - I thought it was a scam at first, but held off on saying or asking anything, and got my payment in full and on time.

You start the day off gathering a uniform and putting it on. You then go to a board where your name is posted showing what machines you are going to be responsible for that day. You prepare some paperwork and you going into a clean room. Your job after this is to check, sort and organize pieces of medical equipment into specified amounts and then label the bins or bags with the amount, date and your initials. Some menial lifting is required for some machines and you may have to walk a considerable amount throughout the day. But there is also a possibility you are put on a machine where you have to stay at that one machine the entire day.

Just worked with Vertical and have to say its been the most UNPROFESSIONAL experience ive had to date. Ive worked in corporate enviroments and know professionalism the let people go for no reason, hire under false pretense saying jobs are full time then when it slows down they say temp. They dont pay employees for the correct time and promise. They fire people for now reason I have a friend I worked with through them who got let go for absolute no reason other then asking a simple question in.regards yo growing in the company but if the jobs not vertical they dont want you working it or with them. I wouldnt recommend anyone work through them just like the other comments state.

I would not recommend vertical staffing to anyone from my past experience working in fenwick at Canntrust. I had brought to my lead as well as vertical about a bullying situation I and other employees were in for over a month and instead of fixing the problem I was let go claiming I was absent a few days. The person is still there bullying other employees and it was even brought up to HR of the company to just have it all ignored. People who have also missed 15-20 days without informing anyone is also still working there. I use to love my job there and was even told I would be hired on full time by the company just to be let go as they refuse to deal with the big problem.

They post for one job. Then tell you a half a** story why that jobs not available. Putting you into something your not qualified or physically able to do. Was lied to 3 times, and I left the site the first day after the manager on site said “why do so many of these temps seemed confused on the job they are doing. We don’t offer packaging for 7 months”. This was annoying because I was told to try this position out, as packaging started next week. They don’t care about you, go to another agency. If your desperate for money, mentally prepare yourself to be handled by liars.

I worked as a transit operator for Barrie Transit through vertical staffing resources. The pay is horrible compared to other transit agencies (one of the lowest in the province) and the benefits are bad too. They advertise an RRSP match but it’s only 2% (basically nothing). The shifts are all over the place and you have almost no work life balance. This place is a revolving door of employees from drivers to management, morale is non-existent and it’s easy to see why. Everyone is incredibly underpaid and undervalued for the jobs they do.
