This is a CAREER not a job - Anonymous employee Gavin de Becker & Associates Employee Review

Hires expecptional individuals and values honesty

Difficult hiring process but well worth it.

Workplace culture - GDBA does a phenomenal job at recruiting exceptional individuals. Which creates a positive and motivated atmosphere. Everyone you will meet is not only professional but personable as well. In my opinion the hardest part of the job is managing your work life balance. If you are not a planner or have structure to your life you would find working at GDBA difficult, however those with structure and who are good about planning their lives will find it much easier working at GDBA. A typical workday - can vary drastically. It is completely dependent on what you want to do within GDBA and how much you want to work. GDBA always ensure you will hit 40hrs, unless you choose to work less. You could work 5 x 8hr days or you could be jammed packed. It is up to your situation and what you're willing/capable of doing. What I believe I have learned is how to deal with people and getting what you want. The biggest piece of advice I would have is the answer will always be no to a question that is never asked. The way you word an email/ text, or the way you speak to people will either open doors for you or close them very fast.

Getting a job at Gavin de Becker & Associates, can be difficult. You need to be an exceptional individual; however a lot of peoples misunderstanding is that you need to be prior military, police, or security. This is false, Gavin de Becker & Associates finds value in those who come from different backgrounds. I.e., those in customer service bring to the table dealing with people and being likable which brings great value.
