Apollo Security Employer Reviews

Here are there "benefits":

40 hours vacation: First 3 YEARS, but you can't take any until you worked the year prior

No sick time: They obviously believe you or a family member don't get sick.

No Personal Days: Again, not like you should be afforded a day for maybe, I don;t know, a yearly physical?

401k: They have one, offered by a questionable company, – more...  and don;t match a penny. Open your own IRA and your better off.

Long/Short Term Disability: None

Pay: Slightly above average.

Career Prospects: None, unless you're a friend or family member of the ownership (which they have every right, since they own it). Otherwise, this is great for a student or retiree. If you have hopes of advancement, with career options, while you have a family, this is career suicide. – less

overall a good company to work for if your beginning security.

The founders of the company started with a great idea. They grew the company and treated their employees fairly in a very competitive market. They however forgot to let got and turn it over to the next generation. They pay a little more above the other companies and if you are a good employee, they treat you well. Account managers vary from account – more...  to account. Overall contract guard services suck, but these guys are decent guys to work for all things considering. I worked on four different accounts as a part time security officer, full time security officer and as a shift supervisor. Generally I had good managers to work for. They were all decent human beings, but varried as to how effective they were. They generally have very good customer accounts with Fortune 500 clients in fairly safe locations. They place importance on you safety as an emloyee and the home office will listen atleast to employee concerns. They will act on them if they deem them legitimate. This is more than most firms in this industry does. Some of their district managers are less that effective or looking for scapegoats, but that is to be expected. Working in proprietary security directly for a company is always better that working in contract or composite security organizations. However, overall I would rate my experience as very favorable. – less

Apollo security is a good company overall but the lack of opportunity for growth within the company is one of the major problems.

Monitor and authorize entrance and departure of
employees and visitors

I enjoyed my time working for this company.I wish there was more room for growth in the company.
