My review over Securitas
Security Officer (Former Employee) – Springfield, MO – May 15, 2019
A typical work day included relieving fellow officer, reading pass down notes, performing duties as stated in the post orders.
I learned every site was different.
Management could not have been better, I had a really good supervisor and scheduling manager would always work with what I needed.
My favorite part of the job was the job itself, I was a security officer looking out for peoples safety and the protecting the property.
Shift's: 8,10,12,14hr

It's a job.
SECURITY FLEX OFFICER (Current Employee) – Milwaukee, WI – June 18, 2019
Limited opportunity for advancement. Sneaky coworkers and management. No steady shifts. (1st, 2nd and 3rd all in one week). Dead end job. Fatuous, favoritism, lack of professionalism.
Pros
Sit down at work
Cons
No advancement opportunities.
If you can find a good place it can be a great job.
Security Guard (Current Employee) – Louisiana – June 18, 2019
It was ok when I first started was on call. Got a spot less than a month that job shut down with no warning ended up getting another gig on default with good hours and schedule and then hours got cut to fit someone else in. I've had enough of the not knowing what's up.
Pros
Provide uniforms
Cons
No steady work
Dont waste life
Security Officer (Current Employee) – Maumee, OH – June 18, 2019
Better to go homelessthan to waste 3 or 4 months of your life working yourself half to death for no reason at all
In fact, the harder you work here the more life wasted because like high school girls, the hatder you try the less they'll want you.

Pros
Only, only a scam / pyramid scheme
Cons
Only, only a scam / pyramid scheme
It would all depend on the site you worked at, and the managers they were set in place.
Port and terminal security officer (Former Employee) – Norfolk, VA – June 18, 2019
Worked with Securitas in different locations, Maine, Virginia, and both places had great supervisors. And pay was decent for the task that I did. Was able to move up if needed or wanted.
Pros
They made sure you were trained
Cons
Some communication issues with corporate
No real room for advancement.
Security Guard (Former Employee) – Anaheim, CA – June 17, 2019
You do not get to voice any complaints about the company or you will be reassigned to very unfavorable post and moving shifts. Your hours will be reduced.
Pros
None
Cons
TGoo many to list
Low Pay
Security Guard (Current Employee) – Shreveport, LA – June 17, 2019
I would have to say securitas is the lowest paid security company in NWLA they are not even trying to keep up with how much other guards get paid to make a living they are too busy worried about making more money for the higher ups and the employees have low morale to the point that they dont care how they look or how they talk to people anymore aver guards get paid between 10-15 an hour with supervisors getting the 15 yet securitas lowest paid guards are just now getting paid 9 and hour from 8 an hour they might as well work at a fast food place to get paid more.
Pros
None
Cons
Low Pay, not worth it

Security Officer (Former Employee) – Milwaukee, WI – June 17, 2019
Excellent experience, hardest part of job is dealing with event guess that are intoxicated. Best part is greeting and assisting guess, monitoring security system. When needed assisting staff when needed, reporting any situation to police department if any, foot protroling outside building and parking lot.
Securitas will allow you to grow if the opportunities presents itselfs
Account Manager (Current Employee) – Clarksville, IN – June 17, 2019
Securitas has allowed me to manage at several high profile companies with includes JBS, Norton Healthcare, and Anthem. along the way i was allowed to go to several instructors schools Crisis Prevention Intervention which helped with dealing with combative patients.
This job is not a very good place for younger employees to advance
Customer Service Associate (Current Employee) – Savannah, GA – June 17, 2019
This job expects you to give your life away, and in order to advance you need to be 25+ years of age. Military experience is a plus, but if you don't have it you are less likely to get an interview, and even less likely to get a promotion. This job will not work with you on getting a different shift, and after training you are stuck with whatever off days they give you. You are looked down upon for not being available for overtime, and could even be fired for it. As a young adult this job is a no go, if you're looking for a serious career, and even less so for your social life.
Slow paced, Routine heavy
Security Officer (Former Employee) – Auburn, WA – June 17, 2019
The job was easy to learn and do. Had to do security checks, checking doors, locks, gate, looking for anything out of place. I had to check in trucks where a was stationed but the job can change at what ever location you are at.
The worst
Account Manager (Former Employee) – Edison, NJ – June 16, 2019
One of the worst companies to work for, they lie and force you to work extra hours. People constantly call out and there is no coverage . So if your working and the person calls out your stuck there for an entire extra shift with no warning. Low pay and your always getting threatened to get fired.
Pros
None
Cons
Everything
Security Officer
Security Officer (Current Employee) – Sidney, NY – June 16, 2019
From the day to day the job is not very difficult. There are times when you get really busy but there is as lot of down time. You cant get complacent because it is important you are always ready for anything. When you have to do something it is absolutely imperative it be done right.
Poor management and pay
Security Officer (armed) (Former Employee) – Overland Park, KS – June 15, 2019
Pass-through job on the way to something better.
If you're a student you could find a great gig with lots of down time to do school work depending on the post.
Not many positive things to say about this run of the mill national security company. If you're a warm, living body, you fit the criteria to be hired.
