Review of Barrys Security Company

Poisonous place and staff! They would have me work...

Poisonous place and staff! They would have me work 1st shift 2nd shift and graveyard all in one 7 day period.They would act like they have no idea what you're talking about when you would say I can't adjust my sleeping schedule that fast several days in a row.

They are horrible people that treat you like garbage they are working Monday through Friday 9 to 5 and could care less that you're never home to see your family working graveyards next day working second shift next day working first shift.

One time I was in Northern California it was 8 at night and they told me I had to be at work to train someone at 8 in the morning or I was fired. I left about 10 at night drove 532 miles I don't think I ever slept and then went to work just so I could train somebody that's how horrible these people are.

Also the manager who shares his name with a popular bank used to switch my hours all the time and I would be scheduled for something but he would call me and say no this is your schedule so then dispatch would have me scheduled for something that I would never show up for because the bank name guy would never tell them that he changed it. And they would tell me don't worry it won't go in your file that you were late but I would still get written up because I was late or no-call no-show to dispatch. The dispatch was so evil they knew that the manager changed my hours and he would still write me up because he got off of on the power of it.

There's times I would save accounts I never got so much as a thank you let alone a $10 bonus around Christmas or anything. My family is working Reno Valley School District since the early 80s. So many extra accounts they got there because of me special weekend special events were because of me I never got a thank you or anything out of it.

They would have people working without Guard Cards just a lot of bad stuff.

I was for some reason always treated more harshly than other people I'm not the type of person to brag about myself or blow my own horn but the problem is at junk companies like this if you don't you never get recognition.

Also when I worked here it was so frustrating they would have older people in the office that know nothing about computers and tasks that would take someone normal 20 minutes would take them an hour or more and they got paid better than me get free lunches had better hours than me it was very frustrating.

One of the managers was known to do drugs and one time he accused me of doing drugs and I was so angry I told him let's take a drug test and things were never the same between us after that obviously.

He was so high he would tell me something 4 times over the course of a couple days cuz he would keep forgetting he was telling me and he was paranoid just like drug addicts are it was really weird frustrating.

If you're reading this and your a potential client you could get lucky and get one of the decent guards they have or you could get someone who is literally on crack. Good luck!
