Securitas
reviews and complaints

all security companies are like that.

The only way to get a raise is if Securitas re-does the contract when it expires and adjust the pay per hour per officer. Basically the contract says that the cliant will pay X amount for Y amount of time (length of contract). Part of that billing includes the pay per hour of each officer at that site. Therefore the client having already paid X amount for securitas' services are not obligated to provide any raises, and are restricted by the contract from doing so. However, if Securitas changes the rate of pay per officer and bills the client accordingly when the current contract expires, the client must approve it, and that means the client must have the "extra" amount allocated for that part of their budget, and must agree to the price difference. Securitas can certainly do that, but if the final bill is too high there is the risk that it might get rejected and Securitas could lose that job in favor of another security company with lower rates. So Securitas tends to keep the contract at the same rate each time the contract is renewed to avoid losing it. Thats why you don't get a raise each year. Thats one of the negative parts of working for a contractor, wages rarely, if ever, increase over time.

Well, how do you know if you "ACED" the interview? I doubt they told you. Perhaps your EGO? The fact you waited so long for them to offer you a position after having received the PRE-HIRE TRAINING that does not automatically mean you are entitled to a job, goes to show YOU LACK COMMON SENSE and you realy are not the brightest knife in the drawer. I to am a veteran from the 70's and I resent you brining in your military service into this lambchop. No stand tall or sit the f*** down, lick your wounded ego, and go forth and find a job elsewhere.

Here is why Securitas is a bad company to work for. Kieser hospital in Riverside on magnolia ave has a security female officer driving around the property in her blue twhen she is off duty. Anna the supervisor know about this and does nothing about it. Is this person stalking the nurses, also we should not forget about Dan who cared more about his ego than the nurses safety. The hire up's in the office do not know about any of this, because there own officers are not smart enough to report anything. There is employee harassment going on with Securitas security officers. That is why the Securitas keeps hiring and firing. Nice work Securitas and Kieser, bunch of idiots.

Porkchop, you didn't say WHY they are the worst to work for! Are you in need of being loved? Whats da matter cupcake, do you long to suckle atyour mamma breast again or do you need to work? Who is "they"? The company is "Whom"? One manager, two managers, all managers? Gads, my noggin is getting confused with your broad generalization there peaches! Perhaps, you just need to hire a baybysitter to change your diapers and feed you your tapioca puddin'.

Health coverage from employer is only good if you have no illnesses or injuries. I hear Securitas owns the company that is providing the health insurance for some of the employees. If so, they should be able to do better for thier people.

I am a teacher at Thomson Elementary School, District of Columbia Public Schools. I had a Protective order at the school.A security guard, named Sunceray Kelly violated this confidential information by telling another staff member at our school.When I found out about it I told the Principal, Dr.Gladys Camp .
I requested a meeting with the security guard, my Principal and the Captain of the security guard.The security guard gave information that endangered my life when the person on the protective order came into the building two times this school year.She also told another staff member in the building and admits telling her information about us going to court and things pertaining to this protective order that had nothing to do with this other staff member.I never met the captain face to face.We did a phone conference with her because she kept making herself unavailable to meet .At the meeting I was told to sweep everything under the rug and forget about it.The security guard and the cafeteria worker who she told lied to cover her.This security guard should have been fired!
The captain (Johnson) could not answer even the simplest questions that I asked her as to What are the policies regarding the safeguarding of confidential information such as protective orders.She didn't know anything about what training the company offered for security guards or anything about discipline procedures of the security guards.How can she be in a position to supervise ? For all I know this might not have really been her Captain, it could have been her friend or relative.However, I was told to just let it go, forget about it but I can't and I won't until I know that this guard receives the discipline that she deserves!
This behavior is unprofessional! It is unacceptable ! This is not high quality! It is the complete opposite.I want this further investigated.

I'm currently a secuit officer for this company. Being a security officer w are not supposed to disclose informatin about these things what this officer did was wrong and unethical and its not her place to disclose this information. we are not supposed to disclose personal info about clients employees. I believe thhis oficer shuld be punshed. Sincerely flex officer Patt.

In my opinion, since we all are human being, you're responsible for your own action, and is the security guard responsibilities to protecting you from that bomb. Understand Human Psychology is an option...

Sister, sounds like you have an ax to grind with this gentleman. Why dont you worry about yourself and stop being a whiner? ###, ### ###, is that all you do? what do you expect for a low wage earner? Audie Murphey? For god's sake woman, shut your pie hole and do your job!

OOPs, pardon my fast typing fingers, I meant to say they can employ a MONKEY to do your job, yea thats right buckwwheat, a [censored] Monkey, and he would probably do a better job than you you sniveling girly boy.

Your tired from doing what ya lazy bum? Let me get this straight, you want a break from sitting at your desk eating your lunch? You're probably sitting in some guardhouse at a gated community, doing nothing, checking in cars as they come through from time to time, waiving through residents, sitting on your fat ### doing pretty much nothing and you want a break? Get a grip you whiny loser, they can employ a money to do your job so stop your [censor]in', MAN UP, and suck it up cupcake.

I just read this complaint about this company. to begin, I am hoping that this web admin will hold true to their promise and protect our identities as we communicate or post our grivenances here. I am hoping that our IP addresses are not provided to anyone, where the company will "put some time between" this post and their intent to fire based on the contents of such. a note to the web admins...they really will fire people based on this ###! all of that said, I do understand what you mean about the supervisors. These indivudals are NOT college graduates and only have internal training which is presented at grade school level, replete with child like pictures and annimations to help the view understand. this company is not EOE or EEOC with promotions..Yeah, they will hire you, but you WONT get promoted! this company is much like walmart with their internal politics...they just dont give a darn! people are mismannaged...you have supervisors using street knowledge to manage and prove violations against employees. Employees dont know whats going on until its time to be fired...they post memos and have written policies that you cant copy or take a copy of the memos off their specific locations, where the supervisors will change the memo content when complaints about them are communicated, but wont mark the memo an update, amendment or other indications that this memo is not the original. so what hapens, the employee LOOKS like a liar based on the abusive practices of supervisors. the upper managers, such as branch managers like to play the I didnt know game, indicating that they have a lot of work to do...sounds to me that what the branch managers are REALLY saying is that "I cant handle my position..." what is their purpose for management or supervision. Employees of this company are prohibited from shopping, or other wise contacting companys that this company patrols...that limits employees to basically being in a box! the company will fire you for telling any of this informaiton!

Also they had a habit of bouncing checks on drivers or not paying on time (Can be verified by National City Bank-Buffalo Grove Illinois) treated their drivers with disrespect and worked them 20 hours aday or more.

I agree and I suggest you fly to Ney Jersey and personnaly arrest Santiago at once for being an abusive idiot!

one more bad thing about that insurance it only covers $1000 a year for surgical and diagnostic coverage. if you work for Securitas don't take it

Security always denied a day off even you gave them advance a day off request for a month still never approved it happen all the time to other officers. This not rigth. I hope somebody do something about this.this is for L.a county account.

Potential witnesses against the Contract Manager, Area Human Resources Manager, Post Commander ended being relocated to prevent depositions.

The Contract Manager and Area Human Resources Manager changed and they have a different Area Human Resources Manager as of 2010.
