Never in my experience have I worked for a more veteran unfriendly and unprofessional company. I wouldn't want my worst enemy to work here.
Lets start off with the blatant absurdities:
1. Paying 370 dollars for uniforms of extremely low quality, plus shipping upon termination of employment. In my experience uniforms have always been provided at no cost to an employee, except by Nighthawk LLC
2. No vacation time whatsoever. Unless by some miracle you are working on a contract for the government that would provide a vacation, you'll never see nor have one.
3. Unprofessional (Mis)Management. I cant speak for anyone whom works around the Owensboro area, but working on the other side of the state has shown me the extreme decentralization of this company, be that through the revolving door of schedulers, or the non existent managers. Its often up to the line supervisors to fix any and all problems.
Typical Workday:
I'd typically go in around 1430 (230pm) for a start time of 1500(3pm) because of Nighthawk's policy of being 15 minutes early or being docked a quarter hour's pay. After which I'd do what any other security guard does, and a lot more, for not a lot of pay (Comparatively). At least 4 months out of six that I worked for nighthawk I'd have some problem with the provided uniforms, rips, tears, too long, too short. Eventually I went out of pocket and bought a pair of tactical pants, which goes against the uniform policy that's only enforced when somebody feels like it. Complaints are not taken seriously by any party except again the line supervisors whom are limited in the capacity of things they can do.
All in all, it was a typical security experience with atypical management.
