Securitas
reviews and complaints

Even if you have had a dui they wont hire you...

I was to work early every day for 2 years, was told by supervisor I was the best worker they had. Problem, the guard who relieved me was late every day, 5 minutes, 10, 20, every single day for two years, I told my superviser, I told the field superviser, I called the office continously for two years, they did "nothing" nothing at all. Same excuse every day, "hey. I'll get yuh back for this tommorow, I'll make it up to you, company does not care, the poorest quality. Also, I worked a contract for two years, I doodle while I work because guarding can have its slow time, I thru it in the garbage, the next day I get a call, another guard went thru thre garbage and read my doodles, yes there were a few sware, cuss words, anyway a fellow employee digs thru the garbage, turns my scribble into the sup, I get moved to another account, why son't they send me back, because after we had our talk I said so and so dug this out of the garbage did'nt he, so and so happens to be a paranoid skitsopherenic and should not be working there in the first place, they would not send me back because I might cause harm or confront him, so and so got promoted to field superviser. One screwed up company, I would not be there if the economy was not so bad.

Sounds about right for Securitas. This so and so must be friends with someone in management, these people seem to get everything and never get into trouble.

Hey I know how that feels. Here is it ten days since my anniversery date (I have been with the company for six years) and they still haven't gotten me my vacation check yet. The pay is piss poor and I was counting on that vaca pay to cover my electric bill. Now my power is off in the middle of summer here in Arkansas. All because the district manager is piddling around and not sending in my info for vaca. There is another guy at my site that is also waiting for his check as well. Everyone else (who by the way have been at our site for only a few months) have gotten their checks before their anniversery date. Why the hell is he waiting around on mine?

You are so right! It is in their Policy and Procedure manuel to make sure that they make your life as miserable as they can! Yep, it's there I tell ya! Once they get their hooks into you, then they try and steal your SOUL! I mean, THEY WANT BLIND LOYALTY UNTIL THE DAY YOU DIE! THEY WANT YOUR FIRSTBORN TOO! They will suck you dry every day of your life, and you will receive no recognition or rewards for your faith and loyalty to these Scandanavian Masters of Deceit!

For those of you that are strong and can resist these "Swedish Bodysnatchers", they will kick you to the curb weh you are of no further use for no reason whastovever, so consider this a BLESSINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! YOU'RE FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE! You are ALIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Yeah it is a real bad company to work for they lie like crazy...And they also always forget what they tell you...When I was in Hawaii I saw our Guards working at the Airport they said it is the same stuff there it is a real bad company to work for...They treat there workers like garbage...Is this the jobs our Govenment says they are making for people out of work...Let them go out and work for these bad companys for a week and see what its like...Top Company...Dont think so

YOU GUYS ARE SO RIGHT ABOUT SECURITES PLEASE DON'T LET ANYONE YOU KNOW WORK FOR THEM LYEING CHEATING [censor] HOLES WORKING FOR THEM WAS A NIGHTMARE THE OFFICE STAFF DON'T HAVE A CLUE ON HOW TO RUN A COMPANY AND THERE SUPERVISORS ARE A JOKE THE PAY SUCKS FOR A COMPANY THATS SUPOSE TO BE THE TOP COMPANY IN AMERCIA

They need to make things better for their employees and stop diverting time and half pay from our regular hours they do this hoping everyone will not notice Well if I work 80 hours I want my 80 hour pay not 72 hour pay.

Sounds like you and your wife need to hang out with the crew Montrose Ave in Houston and let loose at #2's and later join in with the fun at the bathhouses for a little "getting to know you time" with the rest of the buttrangers and [censored]s.. You know, there is a conspiracy to convert all of the Securitas officers into flaming homosexuals with racist tendencies. The ultimate objective is to have a pure white race of raving mad foaming at the mouth drag queens in full army gear with nazi swastika's tatooed into thier foreheads and on each ### cheeks and their miossion is to TAKE OVER THE WORLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD! YEA THAT'S IT! THE SWEDES ARE COMING! THE SWEDES ARE COMING!

I see a Civil Lawsuit and discrimination lawsit coming against Securitas at the 249 houston location. Employees for Securitas there are fed up with their in house rules and policys that are only for the better of their own management.They look down their nostrils at the people that has made them there. They take for granted that they reign supreme ove the problems and poor treatment of their own people.They should be investigated by EEOC and let known that people have pride and professionalis about their jobs that they have been on long before their type of management arrived at 249 Houston.

Securitas may be a good agency to work for, but their managers My wife has been with Securitas for some time now. I dont agree that all employees for Securitas are lazy and dont care. My wife is proud of her job, and love the people she work with. The people of Hewlett Packard that is. She has bee with Compaq And Hewlett Packaed for 16 years.Never once has she been offered a raise, and her health benefits with Securitas are deplorable. THEY SHOW FAVORTISM AND ALLOW SOME EPLOYEES more options than they do others. I know for a fact all of the managers there are homosexual, and or racist. If you are not in their click you are trashed and denied fair and reasonable employee benefits. At once she was making14.00 an hour, but when Securitas took over her pay was cut 4.00 an hour. and put in a higher profile job. How can this be. She gives her all for the employees of Hewlett Packard, and resolves any and all problems that arise at her post. Has numerous letters of appreciation, and thanks for her services there. She has a medical problem that she has been living with for years, and have not been a factor in her employment as Guard(receptionist). Why is the best insurance that is offered by Securitas only given to certain people in their lil click at Hewlett packard. Securitas may be a good agency to work for in some locations, but the management at Hewlett Packard 249 and Tomball in Houston should be replaced or given jobs that they are better suited for

Or maybe they can just tell you are bat [censor] crazy without even needing to ask your former employer?

THESE COMPANIES M-U-S-T BE AWARE THAT MANY UNUSUAL THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN IN THIS ECONOMIC DOWNTURN;; THEY WILL MAKE MANY ENEMIES-WHO WILL BE MORE VOCAL THEN ANY PR CAMPAIGNS CAN HANDLE. THERE WILL BE A SHORTAGE OF RECRUITMENT MANPOWER-BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS OUTTED TO THE PUBLIC, AND THEY ARE MADFE AWARE OF THE CON-ARTIST AND ABUSIVE POLICIES ENTRENCHED IN THESE CLOWN COMPANIES.THE INTERNAL CORRUPTION WILL BE MADE EVIDENT, LIKE BONES UNCOVERED IN A FINANCIALLY DRIED-UP RIVER-EXPOSING WORKERS WHO MAKE ENDS MEET ON THE BACKS OF POOR WORKERS. FOREMOST OF ALL, THE CLIENTS WILL BE LESS NUMEROUS, AND THE WORK THAT IS OFFERED WILL BE AT HIGH RISK AS THE PUBLIC REALIZES HOW BADLY THIS ECONOMIC DOWNTURN HAD SCREWED THEIR LIFESTYLE---FOREVER! ONE THING FOR SURE-WAGES HAVE TO GO UP-BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GO DOWN AND HAVE A LIVING PERSON ON A POST!

Employee complaint

On february the 18 th i canceled the contract 2893916 according to paragraf no 15 in the contract. On february the 27 th you came to ouer house and remowed your equipment .
According to Spanish law you must repay the costumer within 14 days.
I still have not recived any repayment.

Today is January 11, 2019 and Securitas is the same bad company after all of these years. What a shame. In South Carolina, they do not answer their phone and when they do answer they do not put the applicant in touch with a recruiter and the recruiter does not return the call. The receptionist acknowledged that she received the application but there is no follow-up. I called regarding the job that I applied for and the person that answered the phone was not the receptionist this time. He stated that all of the jobs listed on the Website and the other career websites are no longer available, yet they are still showing up as opened. The locations listed on the Internet are not the correct addresses. I went to one location listed and the location is vacant. There is so much more.
They are still doing a lot of underhanded things. I am not sure what yet but this can't continue this way.

They are a bunch of idiots. Management constantly lies to its employees. When someone quits it took up to two months to replace them. Everyone else was expected to work 70 hours plus per week until someone was hired. The field supervisor was a complete [censored]ing idiot that had a massive hard on for the company. That grease ball [censored]er thought he was some kind of cop and would say some of the stupidest [censored]ing things. They also had a bunch of bottom of the barrel employees. One guy used to [censored] his pants. Another was a [censored]ing [censored]er that pretended he used to be in the Marines and would talk about getting blowjobs from tribal women in Africa.

I 100 percent agree with you guys. I even worked with a employee that was taking voyeurism pictures of womens upskirts while working the sound transit contract. Hr didnt want me to say anything to law enforcement about it..so I contacted king county sherriffs office which pissed them off. Securitas could have lost the contract. I received no recognition for It and they were pissed off. I have over 15 yrs armed and unarmed security experience, and securitas is a joke. They are soo unorganized and if your not sucking up to management..your chance of advancement is nill. Someone needs to clean house on these book smart..street stupid management.

Mark Harder is so aloof and unprofessional. I also had issues with Mary in human resources at 150 S. Wacker in Chicago. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. What a terrible company to work for and terrible company to keep your business safe.

Another thing I'm talking about the one In Orlando...They really don't care about there team...did i mentioned that i was trying to have to a talk about moving up in the company.. meeting was set...but my manager left me hanging...and didn't even give a call back a apologize...it show how much they care

I've been working there two years... they cant honor the facts that they state when they first hire you...I m trying to go back to college and when i got hired with them they stated that they will work with me in order to take my classes and still have my 40 hours...but no I have seniority over two people there and what ever they say, alwayss goes...and yes they do rip you off when it comes to vacation, i was short by 12 hours on my vacation pay...the manager that hired me was legit he alwayss takes care of his team MIKE DALTON. ... now the one that we have doesn't answer phone calls or even care what the situation is example: I'm too busy call me on Monday or I'm sitting down i just got home...but he alwayss says when you meet up in his office Call me if any problems...I like what they say about getting a raise...write incident reports and you will get a raise...BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
If your looking for work With SECURITAS don't waste your tI'me...you will have no life

Beware my friends as this is a global conspiracy to suck the lifeblood out of you . The only way to protect yourselves is to insist that your wear your own tinfoil hats!

I agree that there are some serious issues with the company. The office in New York, Manhattan may need investigation of its practices. Wages not paid to workers, incompetent scheduling personnel, possible racism and preferential treatment given to whites/hispanics, lack of 40 hour week for many officers, no holiday pay or overtime, straight time for holidays, no backup of officers when clients complain, disregard of client directives by management. How some in management/scheduling obtained their positions and maintain them despite client complaints needs investigation .New hires may get position as regular guard over some Flex Officers with more time on job/site which may be due to favoritism, inside contact, racism, paying for position, etc.
Giving special attention to individuals who served in the military is alright as far as hiring is concerned but all should have the opportunity for positions of supervision and being in field as inspectors especially being that you will have to be trained anyway by the company for its and clients needs.
People who do not get paid for the work they have done need to contact the IRS, New York State and City Tax authorities so they can look into and go over hiring records and pay and tax deductions, see who was hired then did not get paid, etc. Labor Department needs to take a good look too. Going to company HR is a waste being that at the end of the day all company HR employees from the top to bottom have the company name on their paychecks so there is a realistic limit to what they can and are willing to do about many things that may need addressing. People with issues may need to have them addressed to the offices in Europe so they know there are issues over here. Getting present clients to see how management/pay issues can affect the quality of service from the guards at their site may get some assistance from the client who may threaten to cancel contracts and this in turn can cause problems for future contacts with other clients who find out about issues concerning the company. Businesses do not want to have security on their sites bearing the name of some security company that has been found to deal badly with its officers. Businesses have reputations and images to project and protect and do not want the public associating them with some company that deals poorly with its workers. Go to some security company sites and you can find a listing of the clients that they serve. What client wants to have its name associated with having dealings with a problem security company. It will say a lot about them to the clients they deal with.
Securitas like any company has profit as its bottom line and they do not want anyone or anything to inferfere with it.
If problem management is going to cause their bottom line to drop out from under them they better do something to address the matter.
Playing musical chairs, moving problem management around will not solve the problem.
Complete replacement with quality competent people is in order.
Set standards and time periods one must be on the job before one can become a full time officer not giving full time positions to persons with a few months or weeks on the job over long time experienced personnel.
Placing links for goverment sits that may be able to help those with pay/labor issues.

Endless ### by worthless pieces of ###. In most cases, many of you are being overpaid for the work you are paid to do. Let's be honest here, a monkey could do most of your jobs. Be grateful that you have a job at all. You sit here and whine like little children-and most of you are male. Notice I didn't say men, I said male. Real men would not sit here and complain like most of you. Grow some gonads boys, man-up, and just do your job without all the drama.

Is it not amazing how Securitas managers want you to feel like your the ### when it's really them. No one ever wants to tell you how much an hour your making when you first hire on or what benefits you have or don't have or what full time means to them or in the real world, they never give you a total overview of your job duties just keep piling on more each day in training. Seems like some of the CLIENTS would wise up that the lowest bidder may not be the best security company. I have never been lied to or taken advantage of any employer as bad as this one. When I quit they placed blame on me for not having a fulfilling work life, even though branch manager told me when he hired me and idiot could do job, I should have stopped at that point, second stopping point should have been in orientation halfway through the day when they told us we would only be paid minimum wage in training, there were no variable wage rates mentioned in interview process. This is not a good company in my opinion
