it wasn't a bad place to work at.someth=imes its very stressful and sometimes far relaxed . It all depends on the customers you receive daily on your sift.over all its a good job for people who love customer related services.
Amazing company with great opportunity
Security Officer (Full-time) (Current Employee) – Athens, GA – September 17, 2018
Working for Securitas is a dream come true. Once I joined the company I was shown how to better myself not only as a Security officer but as a person. This company and those that they employ have a strong sense of self awareness that helps them to achieve the level of service that is known for them.

Its a job
Security Guard (Full-Time) (Current Employee) – Indianapolis, IN – September 14, 2018
You don't know your schedule from one week to the next. you may be on 3rd shift and then the next following week you may be on 1st shift. If somebody calls off (not coming in) well I hope you didn't have any plans because you will be working that shift as well unless you can find somebody to come in. If you do work that shift expect your hours to be changed so they can prevent overtime, don't worry the person that called off will most likely be getting you hours. Don't trust anybody, you will be sorry in the end.
Pros
Pay is good for the job.
Cons
horrible management

Good job
Security Guard (Former Employee) – Shelbyville, IN – September 13, 2018
This was a good job it just included people who thought they could boss other employees around even though they were in the same rank. The schedules often changed without proper notice and the pay was minimum wage.
Cons
Very short breaks
no raises
Security officer (Former Employee) – Salt Lake City, UT – September 13, 2018
this is an ok job if you dont care about advancements or raises. i was here for three years and never made more than 10 an hour. definitely better to go with another security company.
Not enough money
Security Guard (Former Employee) – Florida State, FL – September 13, 2018
No overtime, they give you hours that you don't want. They say the hours will change but they forget about you. They are very strict about wearing your uniform which is a good thing.
Pros
They don't
Cons
45 minute break
Standing Watch
SECURITY GUARD (Former Employee) – Bellevue, WA – September 12, 2018
All of securitas' posts are simple sites. sit or stand and watch to make sure there is nothing wrong going on on site. the shift supervisors are understanding and willing to work with you on placement and hours.

SECURITY OFFICER (Former Employee) – Apalachin, NY – September 12, 2018
At the time I felt like this was one of the best security company. Their companies throughout the world. I can pay very well and will transfer but you get everything in writing
Pros
Pays pretty well
Cons
Need to get things in writing
Good baseline for security
Unarmed guard (Former Employee) – Bellevue, WA – September 11, 2018
Treatment is exactly the same as anywhere else, its capitalist and its tough. Stick with it and find a site you like over time and you will eventually come to love this job and will never want to leave.
They do not cover Olympia so I had to quit, regrettably. I very much enjoyed the work I did during my time with Securitas and if they ever extend to Olympia coverage area, I will make sure to be in touch.

Pros
Many sites in their coverage area. Pay spikes in certain areas and during some times of year.
Cons
Only office is in Bellevue so get used to regular visits to i90 and upper east side.
Just a job...Despite what they may say
Security Officer (Former Employee) – San Jose, CA – September 10, 2018
Very little room for real advancement unless you get lucky or play the politics and supervisors at your site like you/branch likes you. Not a merit-based advancement system. Management at the branch level is not very responsive or helpful. Mainly driven by the need to bring in new business and retain current business. Officer needs come 2nd. Training is very superficial and not consistent. Easy to get lost in the mix.
