Pros

Managers response is very quick. I am always getting a lots hour as long you are available. If you can work at anytime and need bread this is right for you.

Cons

If you don't get a fixed position you will be jumping from place to place at random schedule. Some places doesn't pay good if you get a permanent a position there you are out of luck

Pros

Fellow workers are great bunch to work with. Posting is a great site,,and that's where it ends

Cons

Management has no respect for employees. Everything is fine until your on the payroll then you treated like dirt. No branch office in this Province (New Brunswick, Canada) Have to deal via e-mail or phone with branch office in another province 200 km's away. E-mails or phone calls are rarely answered unless they want something. Even though you have a set posting with set shifts that need covering, management cannot seem to get a schedule right,,or out on time resulting in some employee's working 12-16 hours with only 8 hours off between shifts. Work 8,12 or 16 hour shift with no break,,even though the law states break every 5 hours. Complain and you get fired. Pay is sub-par based on work required. Pay is always messed up,,,shorted hours,,,late,,, Training is 8 hours max,,,if any. Pay rate for training is less than min wage,,, Having to pay-out at least $100.00 just to get hired. $100.00 deducted from first pay to cover cleaning a USED uniform. Ask for a day off and one of two things are going to happen,,,either you'll work that day and get more hours than you want in a week or you'll not get enough hours to survive.

Pros

so for starters, i got sick, minor health issues and securitas has accommodated me very well to return to work. the scheduling are very responsive through calls and texts, very helpful and if you have an issue, they resolve it properly and quickly. supervisors were very caring, other guards were friendly, helpful and made it feel like a family. you want your hours, you will get them. i showed my supervisors that i wanted to work and they called me in for that reason.

Cons

only one time i had an issue with my pay. a small error but it was fixed instantly pay isnt the best but for a student who is looking for experience, references for police or any field, this company provides that
