Whelan Security Employer Reviews

this company blows!!! they dont care about their employees, their dishonest, and management isnt consistant. within the first month of employment i was already looking for a new job, because they didnt tell me they were losing the account when they hired me. when i confronted management about it, they were still being indirect about the contract. I – more...  met some interesting people, made good money with the overtime while it was there,but i would not advise any body to work with them if they could keep looking for "better" work. – less

Easy job. But no chance to advance or move up in the company. Not very good pay or benefits.

Worked with employees and visitors to make sure
the premises were secured.

Circulated among guest and employees contacted
local police of problems.

Operated detecting devices to screen individuals on
entrance to premises

Very low pay. management is a joke. Only way to make any money is to get a lot of overtime. You have to drive your own vehicle. Workers are so bad. Barely able to do their jobs.

Working in skilled office setting with good clientele. Manager made great effort to meet employee needs and correct any mistakes.

Working at whelan is an alright job. It is a easy job. The only downfall is the fact that my sleep is off. Other then that it is alright.

This is only based on the Middle Tennessee branch; the branch management shows no concern for its officers. They are continuously lied to and verbally abused. They are talked about behind their backs and when asked for their opinion, if it is not agreeable to management, they are verbally chastised. In the case of one supervised, she was yelled at and – more...  told to "shut up"! Again, moral wise, one of the worst security companies (because of local management) to work for. However, the local branch manager would probably make a great used car salesman. (My apologies to all of the hardworking, honest used car salesmen and women.) – less

If you have a little morals this is not the place for you! no pay raises unless you loss all morals & self respect you'll go far if not no raises and alot of overtime for people who dont party with site management!!Shes gone now maybe better now.

The team I worked with was great! The Branch Management, however, was lacking. No one received raises in 3 years or more, promotions were given without compensation, overtime was nil or none, personnel was never hired to replace tohose that walked off the job due to frustration. The Nashville Branch Manager is a "used car salesman". He will make empty – more...  promises to get you hooked on the deal, and then never follow through. He is never available when he is needed for support and plays officers off on each other. He is a shady charachter who doesn't believe in client relations and will throw you under the bus. Benefits are awful. Pay is bare bones. Would NEVER work for this company again! – less

I worked at Whelan for abou 3 years and I was promoted within the first 6 months. After our contracts were pulled then the job just laid us off and didn't really want to pay unemployment. The upper management was very unprofessional. I like the job I did but didn't so much like the company benefits or should i say disadvantages it came with.

A typical day at work will include going on my rounds to check freezers and greeting guest. I learned to work in a repetitive environment. Management is very approachable. I have a working relationship with my co-workers. The hardest part of my job is staying motivated during repetition. The most enjoyable part of my job is working with the people.

Whelan is a good company to work for depending on the site your at.

Good work environment but could be quite challenging and stressful at times.

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. The management was very substandard and unprofessional,co-workers would relieve you late, and the pay was horrible. Overall I would never recommend anyone to work for this company.

Very professional and organized place to work. Dress code is very professional. Good benefit and very nice and friendly people. Great place to work, pay needs to be a little more if you have a family. Great place for single people and college students.

I liked the job when it was all i had to be focused on, between school at nights, 2 kids and a wife. working for whelan can be tough especially if you get a 2nd or 3rd shift because then there isnt hardly any time to do school work or be with your family. all in all its a great company for high school students or elderly people.

Good company nice workers at the site I was assigned, but management was a hassle on a daily basis wasn't always considerable of employees concerns.

Worked there 3 months shy of 4 years and would not recommend working there. In the time I worked there we received one raise of .30 cents and the job wasn't worth the pay. The health benefits they offered also weren't worth the money. They offered minimum benefits for health, dental, etc... No room for advancement. It is a dead end job. I would recommend – more...  this job to older people looking for a supplemental income to a pension they are already receiving. – less
