Masis Staffing Solutions

I worked at a Tom's of Maine plant through Masis. The work is very fast paced in general. You always had something to do which is a plus. But the place was run by for lack of better terms, adults acting like children. Constant drama and arguments in the plant sometimes leading to us being unable to do our jobs. It was like working at a high school.

Workers were often not prepared or doing their jobs. Also leading to extra time spent on tasks not meant for us or forcing us to wait around before starting our actual work.

Some people are hired and do almost no work, but they are left on staff for reasons I cannot understand.

The company itself seems more or less unable to handle a basic discrepancy. They seemed eager in me covering up a racist incident between me and another co-worker who felt the need to label me and call me different names based on my race. To which masis and toms both wanted us to just shake hands and live with it. I felt since said incident that I was viewed differently by a decent amount of co-workers and management.

A co-worker was also assaulted twice on the premises. They didn't bat an eye. 

This is temporary work at it's finest. Perhaps in other facilities or with other masis workers it is not the same, I would hope that to be the case. But my experience went from decent to very negative fast.

The best aspects were being able to get hours. Generally if you wanted to work you had 40 or more easily. If life happened they seemed to understand, at least most of the time. It seemed to shift sometimes.

Calling their offices to try and figure out the problem did not help. I was met with office workers who didn't know what to make of it or who to call. often times being hung up on or transferred to a voicemail. The first time I called I was informed that they would look into it. Only to call again a week later and be told they knew nothing about it.

Overall I'd recommend it to people who need work and do not mind the temporary aspect. But I'd keep my eye out. They seem very avoidant. I do not mean this to be wholly negative I am simply speaking of my views and experiences. I hope this is helpful to anyone looking into working with them and I hope your experience is miles better.

I'm only rating one job in particular that's in Sanford, Me working on a line in a factory handling toothpaste, mouthwash and deodorant. Take it from me, ask others who have done it; Do something else. They will make you work 6 days a week; up to 60 hours or more a week, and once you reach a certain number of hours you can't work there anymore until next year. That's if they decide to take you back. Typically most temps that go in to that place will use up all of their hours in 8 to 9 months. Then you're stuck without work for 3-4 months. A lot of people that work in that place are absolutely miserable and as rotten as you could possibly imagine. I worked for this company and for someone who has held many temp assignments through several temp agencies take it from me; there is better out there. Masis may even have other assignments for you that you could take on. I just know that this one in particular is something you would pick only if you have tried every other temp agency and every other possible avenue. This place also can take up to four years to hire a temp. And it still may not happen. I have seen some pretty hard working temp people go into that place with a great attitude and truly gave it their all and once their hours were up, that would be the end of it. I would only work for Masis again if they offered a different opportunity through another company.

This is one of the most unprofessional staffing agencies I’ve ever dealt with. From the moment you walk into the office, it feels poorly managed and neglected. The environment is unpleasant, the office smells terrible (smells like bad feet and butt), and it gives the impression that cleanliness and basic standards don’t matter here.

The staff is rude, dismissive, and clearly uninterested in helping people find work. Communication is sloppy, attitudes are hostile, and there’s no sense of urgency or respect for job seekers’ time. Instead of being supportive or informative, interactions feel confrontational and disorganized.

It’s no surprise they seem to have very few job sites or opportunities available. If this is how they treat people face-to-face, it explains why employers wouldn’t want to partner with them. A staffing agency should connect people to work—not make them regret walking through the door.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST!

This place can be an amazing and easy place to work if they was to hire ppls that really want to work. Too bad the lazy make the easy work harder for the already hard working ones...

The weekly pay is the best part

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
1. The company does not communication in schedule changes with the staff. Got to my assignment only yo find out the shift was canceled.

Busy, hectic, & very demanding. Never enough staff to cover shifts.

Masis tries to treat their employees like family, but you truly are “out of sight, out of mind”. It does no good to tell your direct reports that you are feeling “burned out”. It does not matter to then that you work 7 days a week (even though you have 2 scheduled days off). It does not matter that you are the only person doing all of the work of management (and NOT getting management pay), and those working with you are doing ONLY enough to get by, coming and going as they please, not taking the job or their tasks seriously...and without consequence.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It comes when your all expectations at the beginning that gradually you realize you won’t be there long time. You just don’t quit immediately cause you need some money. Awful place to work. Low payment, micromanaging

The toxic environment, the extreme overtime no paid. Everything is your fault.

I worked for the job for about a month and learned quick on how to move on an assembly line. It was my first time and really got the hang of it pretty quick. i loved that we had an hour break and I got paid way more than my other job. I learned how to make sure my pallet was neat and learned how to stack the boxes. Heavy lifting is never a problem for me but it became a little one note and constant and when my pallet was done I had to just help others with theirs. The management would check our pallets but I never really grew any friendly relationship because of the heavy crew.
