Protection Plus has a Complete Disregard for their Employees' Well-Being
Pros
I cannot think of any pros that make it worth your time to work here.
Cons
I left Protection Plus because it became abundantly clear to me that leadership prioritizes themselves at the expense of their employees. In my career, I have never encountered a company with such consistently poor communication and lack of transparency. High Turnover - Over the course of my time as an employee here, the company fired over 100 people without any notice, a majority of whom had been praised multiple times for their hard work and had been with the company for years. You are not safe, even when you think you are. Instead of addressing concerns, providing feedback, or fostering growth, the company chooses to abruptly fire employees and later rehire for the same roles. This creates a culture of fear, instability, and complete distrust. Unrealistic Expectations - The company also enforces unrealistic expectations around work-life balance. Mandatory meetings twice a week set the tone that overtime and the use of personal hours are expected as a minimum effort from employees. And while they expect this flexibility from their employees, they could not care less about your personal life when you ask for flexibility in return. No Career Growth/Nepotism - Leadership roles are limited and do not appear to be filled based on employee development or internal growth, leaving hardworking employees with no growth. You will almost always be passed up by a less qualified, but somehow related individual. Firing decisions seem to be made based off of personal-liking, rather than your proven skill set. While leadership emphasizes “integrity” as a mission statement, their actions often reflect a lack of consistency and fairness, particularly in how certain employees are favored. No Real HR Department - The "HR Department" is a joke. I experienced racist comments and unfair treatment from various persons in director roles, but there is no system to report these things when management is the problem and HR does not care. There are no normal guidelines for workplace behavior, and HR will always take the side of the "managers/family," giving you nowhere to go when you experience unfair treatment. On the employee side, everyone is afraid to speak up for themselves because those that have spoken up are quickly fired. Leadership is really good at sweeping problems under the rug rather than addressing them and becoming better for it. Micromanagement - In my personal experience, I experienced a lack of respect for my creative vision because the company is stuck in their old ways and is afraid of change. I was constantly being micromanaged by an unqualified manager who's only feedback was from ChatGPT. It was implied multiple times that my work could not be trusted when requesting minimal work-from-home days, while my manager and other coworkers (all part of the family) were granted that privilege on a full-time basis. Overall, Protection Plus fosters a toxic work environment defined by poor leadership, lack of communication, and disregard for employee well-being. I would not recommend this company to anyone seeking stability, growth, or respect in the workplace.
