Pros

Securitas gave me a job when I desperately needed one. My managers have been really easy to work with and being a patrol officer, my nights are never quite the same. There is always something out of the ordinary going on which makes the job a lot more interesting. I might have to write a book someday about the weird stuff I've seen on this job. I've racked up plenty of overtime as well. They are also making a good effort to keep up with current technology.

Cons

Training needs to be expanded. They give you two days to learn a job and you're on your own. Pay is low, especially for patrol officers. We are worth far more than we are paid! Working nights and weekends sucks but that goes with the territory if you work in security. Malfunctioning alarms are a pain in the hind quarters but again, that goes with the job. Benefits are also kinda crappy and a 12 hour shift by yourself can seem to last forever.

Pros

The only thing that I enjoyed while working here was the team that I had the privilege to work with. My employment was on a tech team which was a vendor with a larger Tech company. I was able to network and meet some amazing people that allowed myself to connect with others in the tech industry.

Cons

My experience with this company was extremely disappointing. I raised serious workplace concerns related to disability-related treatment, harassment, and overall employee support through internal reporting channels, but I did not feel those concerns were handled with the urgency, fairness, or accountability they deserved. The issues continued for a significant period of time, despite repeated attempts to report them properly. After I provided additional details that were requested as part of the internal reporting process, I was removed from my client assignment. In my opinion, the timing and handling of that decision felt retaliatory, especially because it happened after I raised concerns and participated in the company’s reporting process in good faith. I was initially told that another placement would be pursued, and there was communication for several weeks. However, I was ultimately separated from the company under a “Non-Placement Termination.” The experience left me feeling unsupported and gave me serious concerns about how employee complaints, workplace concerns, and follow-through are handled.
