Good part time work.

Autonomy.
Cons
Shift length.
productive and fun workplace
Security Officer (Former Employee) – Lafayette, LA – July 16, 2018
I really had fun and enjoyed myself working at Inner Parish Security Corporation. The only thing hard about working here was the night hours, cause sometimes, it got boring.
Interesting Job
Security Officer (Former Employee) – Security, TX – July 11, 2018
Fun to work with as far as the traveling from city to city, great pay and paid weekly was a big plus. Meet people from different states coming to work in Texas. Poor management. It seemed as if every two or three days management was changing
I loved having the authority to protect people
Security Guard (Former Employee) – Houma, LA – June 22, 2018
Having the authority to being control of others really excited me. Protecting citizens and work areas was very please for me and also having the right to practice something that Im good in.
Cons
No breaks at all
Poor Management
Armed Security Officer (Former Employee) – Hammond, LA – June 14, 2018
Poor management, and very low pay for Armed Security. They dont comp you for gas or hotel if you have to travel out of state. Either get less than 25 hours a week or close to 60, and the highest paid post is $9.00 hour at a high risk truck stop casino.
Pros
Co workers usually friendly.
Cons
Extremely Poor Management
Worst place ever!!!
Federal Security Officer (Former Employee) – Bossier City, LA – May 30, 2018
They are the most unprofessional security company I have ever been with. Supervisors lie to your face, tell you one thing and do the exact opposite. What I was paid is not the same as what was on my separation notice there was a $12 hour less difference.
Pros
None
they are okay
Security Guard (Current Employee) – Baton Rouge, LA – May 23, 2018
the location out of Baton Rouge only fends for themselves, they told me that they don't do transfers.... only to find out when I got to the area I wanted to transfer to they had lied about not doing transfers.
Pros
flexible
Productive
Armed Security Officer (Current Employee) – Hammond, LA – May 7, 2018
Temporary FEMA work. The job eventually ended. I walked an area for the most part providing security to FEMA employees. I do not have experience working for the company at their home base.
Good for those with no other obligations
Security Officer (Former Employee) – Lafayette, LA – May 4, 2018
The majority of the sites are truck stop casinos and you will mostly be verifying I.D.s and providing a presence of security. The hours are inconsistent varying between 6, 8, and 12. You will be on an on call status until they can find you a steady place for you to work; the on call status can last as short as a month to as long as 4 months. These calls can come at anytime, but will usually be around the shift change hours (6-8am, 4-7pm). However, if you do not like inconsistency or having to check your schedule every day, stay away. It is good if you need a short term job or wish to work part-time, but if you desire a full time job for the long term, look elsewhere. And Lastly, the management is also poor; there seems to be a total of 4 supervisors for 100+ employees with 1 resigning every other month.
Pros
Hiring process is fast, pay is weekly
Cons
Inconsistent hours, poor management, no reimbursement for travel
Chaotic, Urorganized

My Experience
Federal Security Officer (Former Employee) – Victoria, TX – April 12, 2018
enjoyed working for this company, however, once the site closed down after harvey, there were no other positions available and everyone was laid off. I was forced to find other work which became diffficult since Victoria is a small town. Really want to go back to work
Pros

Cons
contract or job ends

Laid back atmosphere
Armed Security Guard (Former Employee) – Kenner, LA – March 31, 2018
In most areas, nothing goes on, though as an armed security officer, one must always remain vigilant. Hardest part of the job I'd say was those graveyard shifts where you had to keep from falling asleep.
Family Owned And Oriented Company
Security Officer (Current Employee) – Lafayette, LA – March 29, 2018
This company is privately owned by a family, and they instill in their employees that each and every employee is part of that family.
The human resources department is great. They are always willing
to assist with employee issues. So Is The payroll department.
The Area That I work in, the managers for that area work with employees as far as giving time off for dr appointments and my childrens school activities.
