Control Room Officer/Customer service Personnel (Current Employee) – Ashburn, VA – February 24, 2018
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.
Many Scheduling problems
Security Officer (Current Employee) – Hackberry, LA – September 20, 2018
Miss management, scheduling problems, too many changing orders
no information about earned leave, except going through Lake Charles office and it gets back to you supervisor.

Very clickish
Remote Guarding (Former Employee) – Charlotte, NC – September 18, 2018
everyone trying to feel important which causes conflict in the company. Management don't take suggestions well. Upper Management to busy with meetings than to care about the employees and their needs.
Pros
Clean place to work
Cons
don't be a white male ( not racial but true)
Good company to work for but management has issues
Security Supervisor (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – September 18, 2018
Securitas need to do better for single parents household. They need to more in caring for they security officers in some cases. They tell you one thing and take to long to get back with you. They promote the wrong officer just to fill there position.
Pros
Good over all company to work for
Cons
Need better people skills from low management
The job is adequate for a low paying job.
Security Officer (Current Employee) – Watsonville, CA – September 18, 2018
The job is adequate for my current needs. Clean environment, good people at Kaiser. As long as you do your job, the job is secure. I would recommend this job to someone looking for a future in the security industry.
Pros
Clean work environment
Cons
Doesn't pay enough to attract top quality people.
great company to work for
Flex Security Officer (Former Employee) – Bellevue, WA – September 18, 2018
They really try to place you on a site that works best for you. The recruiters are very easy to talk to and are on the ball when you need to replace items of your uniform. They make sure their guards are protected from all weather extremes and are trained for all situations and potential disasters. Wish I was back in Indiana working for them again. Great place to live and work.
ok
Security Guard (Current Employee) – Rocky Mount, NC – September 18, 2018
feel like should appreciate the workers more then maybe they will not have a big turn over rate. other then that it is okay. i will tell people about the job for retirees and someone that is trying to make a little more on the side
Pros
you can get the hours
Cons
need to fight for more money for the employees
I checked bags and other objects before letting the guest enter. I guarded important areas.
Staff member (Current Employee) – Bronx, NY 10451 – September 18, 2018
The pay is good for a seasonal job. I work when the Yankees play at home and soccer games. When the team play home games it is usually 8+ days in a row.
Pros
Good pay for a seasonal job. Company has a good reputation to help you with applying to other jobs.
Cons
The gap between work is usually by week. Easy to be fired if you don’t do your job correctly
Lack of career advancement and horrible management
Security Officer (Former Employee) – East Hartford, CT – September 18, 2018
good luck with any hopes of advancing up the ranks. unless you have personal ties with management its not gonna happen. management staff is absolutely terrible, they never answer any phone calls, never find coverage, many times during the year they forget to pay you. constant hassle to find out how much PTO time is available. do not recommend working here at all. Use as a stepping stone and move on ASAP!
Poorly managed company full of bored people with little to do other than gossip
SECURITY OFFICER LEAD (Former Employee) – Tempe, AZ – September 18, 2018
Phoenix area management clueless as to what is going on, massive turnover, frighteningly slow HR department, little to no advancement opportunities, et cetera. On the bright side, if you absolutely need a job Securitas is there for you.
Pros
Almost guaranteed job
Cons
No job satisfaction, almost designed to kill your soul
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.
Good job

Security Guard (Current Employee) – Fort Wayne, IN – September 16, 2018
do not get breaks, always changing stuff every time you go into work very unorganized, i have learned a-lot about being a guard at the truck gate it is very busy and can get crazy
Pros

Need better pay
Security Officer (Current Employee) – Knoxville, TN – September 16, 2018
Management is good. sites need better pay for jobs that we do. otherwise i wouldn't say anything is wrong with the company. very flexible on hours and home life.
Pros
flexible hours
Cons
low pay
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
