This company doesn't care about your personal life.when i started working here I worked every weekend graveyard shift..after 4 months I said something to my manager and he was kind enough to switch me to work during the week.I was under the impression after working 6 months at an entry level I would be able to get a new site with.. better pay. Did not – more... happen..managers don't do anything..company car is filth inside and out.. – less

A typical work day was productive. I enjoyed my job. I learned alot from fellow officers that I can take with me for a lifetime. I was taught to be alert at all times. I enjoyed most of all the people I came in contact with while working several work sites.

When hired I was told I would be working 40+ hours. After training (which was not paid) it was a hastle to get a full 8 hour shift a week. Pay was well below average for security officer. I was driving to sites all over Pittsburgh (and the company never paid for gas) for $8 an hour.

Worked at a Medical Facility providing Security Support. Conducted hourly patrols, and general office type tasks.

the most enjoyable part of my job is helping people that need to get things done fast and efficient.

Didnt to a hole lot.
Management Wasnt the greatest but messing people over pay days off you name it

Just like any security job you are required to patrol buildings/parking lots. Working well with others is a must! Have to be very flexible with avalibility.

i only worked at one site and it was OK met alot of people co workers was nice

The company always has work! I liked that but sometimes they can frustrate you when trying to move up in the industry however I would say that the management tries very hard to make it all happen and the customer service we get to give is definitely at the top!

i worked with the company for three months and was promoted to supervisor and have loved it ever since

I am currently working as an Account Manager with Securitas and I am trying desperately to find another job.The company does not care about employees below a certain level. Basically if you are not working in the branch office with the powers that be, you are pigeon-holed and forgotten. You generally stay where you are first assigned and NEVER advance. – more... Also the only persons you will ever see are the Field Service Managers that visit. I have personally talked with my boss in person for less than 12 minutes in person and that's when he came to site to get the contract renewed with the client. Phone calls and emails asked for clarification or other issues are NEVER answered. You have to beg to get the standard forms sent to you so your staff can do their jobs. If someone leaves it takes forever to get a replacement especially if your site is small and therefore unimportant to the people in the Crystal Palace. If you are just starting out in security you will do fine with this company, if you are a seasoned professional do not believe anything they tell you about the company. They will abandon you on a site and you will never hear from anyone again. – less

pay no overtime > its a job bid the low than any security company out there

I was fortunate to work on some of their best sites. If i do decide to go back in security... they would definitely be my first choice.

overall i enjoyed my experience there but now it time to move foward

I was a security guard in a hospital, that was a great learning experance

bored way to fast needed something more advanced for where I want to be in life. Co-workers were great but was not the job for me.

Due to being a flex officer had many different sites and proticals not hard post just alot to remember.

With lots of different sites and clients it was hard to not have an interesting day.

Like this job. They are a great company to work for. They place you at a site very fast and have good hours.
