Inter-Con Security reviews

This company harbors toxicity within the department. I was bullied to the point of having panic attacks and when I pressed my managers for help, I was treated and spoken to as if I was the one doing the bullying. And then I was nitpicked on for every small thing in what seemed to be retaliation for submitting an HR complaint. Managers behave like children, ignoring what is necessary to get the job done in favor of behaving petty. Employees brazenly engage in sexual harassment of other employees. I’ve heard employees ask other employees to take their shirt off or describe Directors as Jolly Ranchers and have incredibly lewd conversations about their intimate lives. I’ve heard employees engage in active bullying and no lead or manager does anything to stop it. Things like directly telling someone out loud “I just want you to know that I don’t like you” or “ shut up, no one wants to hear what you have to say”. Just incredibly unprofessional and immature behavior. Not only that, but they engage in illegal timesheet manipulation. I know employees that have had their meal penalties deleted by their managers without the employee’s written approval. Their system adjusts clock in times based on a 7 minute grace period with 15 minute intervals. Meaning that if you get there at 6:08, your timesheet auto adjusts to show a start time of 06:15 which is technically wage theft. They underpay and overwork their scheduling department, continuously adding new tasks to the workload but never offering more compensation. They hire new people for less money than others doing the same job. They will take people off of the schedule and make notes to ban them from working, but refuse to fire them so they aren’t getting work but cannot collect unemployment either. I could really go on for days… the turnover rate is so high. In the short year that I was with the company, I saw at least 6 employees on my team alone quit. I left the company voluntarily on spot with no notice because I could not continue to endure the emotional and mental turmoil.

Incompetence at higher levels. It’s is very evident that mid to top level managers are in somewhat of an old boys club. Very incompetent people have kept their jobs for way too long. The training requires you to live in the middle of nowhere making minimum wage for 2 months. Back in the day, the job training took place closer to DC and you were paid the full wage. Now it takes place at a training ground they built in the middle of the woods and you get paid minimum wage until you complete it. We’re talking months of boredom for low pay. Penalties get added and rewards are non existent. Since I have first started working here, they have modified several violations to become terminations on the first offense instead of write ups. Meanwhile rewards are practically non existent. Moving up is difficult if not impossible in the case of the Outer Regions. Combine that with the fact that you can’t even have a cup of coffee and you get workplaces where morale is constantly low. The only people happy with their jobs are the numerous retirees who are content spending their days staring at a wall. I have worked at this company for years, and it’s very evident it’s falling apart. If you are just trying to get a security clearance, get it here, find a better job and jump ship as soon as possible. Also, be sure to take all positive reviews with a grain of salt. They’re currently pushing employees to give 4 star ratings or above on Glassdoor for a chance to win “a prize in a raffle”. They have sent numerous emails and texts to all employees, making sure we know we should say this place is great for a long shot chance at “a prize”. That should tell you everything you need to know about the company. People hate working here, and instead of making it a better place to work, they attempt to bribe people with pathetic rewards to say nice things.
