First off, the pay sucks. Second, the wait to start is a month or more so it isn't worth wasting your time. Third, the boss man has a terrible attitude. He will throw a fit if he isn't getting what he wants. He likes to cuss at people and he very disrespectful. I don't know about anyone else but I d...

They are shady! They fire people and report it as a "quit without notice "
so they WON'T have to give you your money for your USED uniforms. They wont give you a copy of your contract and wont let you leave with a copy of the contract when you sign it. You may love them while your working for them,...

Biggest mistake I had ever made was to work for this place. I was lied to about the hourly rate. I wanted 10.00 an hour and was paid 8.25 an hr. Was told I would get a raise when my 90 day evaluation came up and was told you had to beg to get a quarter raise so I found me another part-time job and t...

During my interview, it became apparent that Nighthawk is very direct and to the point. They are upfront with everything and will work with an employee to fit their availability as best they can and even let you know prior to employment so you know what you're going to be doing. They even are provid...

Great hands on training and experience. Enjoy working here and the support I get from Management. Uniform rental kinda sucks at first but to be honest, makes sense since it includes replacing the uniforms the entire time i'm employed which i plan to be here a longgggg time.

I went to Guardsmark looking to get into security when I left the Army, but saw their setup was a giant mess so I walked out in the interview and went to the Nighthawk office and found a professional atmosphere. And they have been good to me for the last 9 years. Everyone in the company who is high ...

If you're looking for a company that will attempt to strongarm you into signing a contract to allow them to skim off your pay, or maybe you're looking for a workplace that is ran by an abrasive short fused man that'll hold your final paycheck over 90 days and then bump that pay down from your normal...

This as been an awesome place to work since my first day back in September of 2013. I'm a career security officer and this place has been a blessing in disguise. Yes they have rules but if you're doing your job like youre suppose to, they take care of you in ways you wouldnt had thought.

There is no other company I would ever trust to protect my business quite like nighthawk security. They are to the point, get the job done right the first time, and are quick with responses if there are any questions. If you're looking for security for your business, I would look no further.
