      Apply to the Corps of Commissionaires Instead!!

      Security officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Provide some supervisory opportunities for unilingual guards that the Corps does not. Safety boot allowance each year.

      Cons

      Poor management, not transparent, lack integrity, hold grudges, pre-determined job competitions, uniform allotment is half of what the Corps offers, no second language training allowance, only 4 sick days a year that cannot carry over, pay union dues but receive no representation, poor morale, low employee engagement, company has the attitude that you have to suck it up else they can find someone else to do the job.

      Bad branch, so-so company.

      Security officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Steady work. Regular hours usually.

      Cons

      Was hired for 10.00 hour with 11 years previous security experience including 5 as a shift supervisor. Taken only due to desperation.Actually did supervise and respond as a senior officer on a regular basis on the work site with no interest in actually paying me for it. Was moved to a new location and pay dropped to 9.79 an hour. Branch refused to find me any higher paying contracts and I was told that anything better "Was not for me". Went outside my branch to another branch looking for a transfer and was screamed at for talking to another regional manager by my own. I am not a boat rocker but my branch had me at the end of the line. Found a new job and quit. Never got my Guard card I paid for either after over a year of waiting.

      Security Guard Manheim Car Auction

      Security guard
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The only good thing about working at Securitas is that certain sites such as Manheim have potential to earn an average of 20+ hours of overtime, which can be seen as a potential advantage and opportunity to make more cash than expected.

      Cons

      Most of the working conditions are open to question. Overtime work seems mostly obligatory rather than a choice. Hard to request a consistent schedule. The office where I got hired at NEVER answers the phone. If you want to move up, it is possible but you must devise your own plan of success.
