Love working here. Been doing so for several years.
I work in the Louisville area for 8 years now as a Nighthawk Officer. I was offered a Fulltime job and since then, worked for Nighthawk. It is a fair place to work and has created a healthy work space for myself and coworkers. One thing I see posted about a lot is their uniform policy. We receive over $500 worth of uniforms that we lease/rent/whatever, but they make it clear that we do not own the uniforms and that we get money back if we put a 2 week notice in and work it. So to all they nay sayers, give all the information rather than misleading people.
Great place to work, competitive pay. Owner/CEO involved in all aspects of operations.
some great opportunities here, love my co-workers and my scheduler is the best! Uniforms fit pretty good too!
Really enjoy working here, easy rules to follow and good pace for me.
Really friendly place, I met a couple guards of theirs a few years ago who encouraged me to apply, was hired a few days later and been here ever since!
Had a excellent experience from this company when visiting a sister company. It's nice seeing a security company that follows and enforces the rules.
Great place to work, very few places I've worked actually do what they say and follow through like Nighthawk does. Very happy working here.
Start Last week, no complaints, pretty happy with my training and work!
I've worked here since 2013, great place and great people to work with!
By far they are raising the bar for security standards. Outstanding service and fantastic people to work with.
Great company to work for. Been here for over 8 years and love the work, love my site and love the people I work with!
I really enjoy working here. Was defiantly worth the chance of starting my career here.
Love working for nighthawk best security company I have worked for
I had an interview yesterday. Upon walking in, I immediately noticed the professional environment. I was treated very kindly and repectfully by everyone I had the pleasure to meet. I am proud and thankful to say I was hired. I am equally as excited to begin my employment with this company. There is room for advancement once the initial probation period is completed successfully. I would highly recommend anyone looking for security work come here first. This company strives for excellence in anything they do, and employees are set up for success from the get go. I am very grateful for the opportunity to work for such a great and professional company.
Love working here. Management is great. I haven't had any drop in my hours due to covid. Management cares and took steps to protect us.
Really grateful and happy that I work here. I ve referred several of my friends that I know we do a really good job here.
Was hired here yesterday. Very upstanding people and look forward to working here.
Really good place to work, haven't had any issues and zero complaints. LOVE my scheduler to death!
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 providing me with paid training!
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 up used to be a guard for the company at some point, so advancement opportunities are everywhere especially since they are growing larger by the day. I wouldn't work for another security company, since this one can keep giving a steady pay check no matter how bad the economy gets, and while other security companies are going out of business and laying off employees, we are just adding more sites and hiring/promoting more people.
Enjoy working here and the structure that is provided. The management pays close attention to detail and will make sure that i've received my schedule. There are several redundancy still in place that help make sure I'm setup for success
Great company. Was visiting some friends at university and their guard was very professional and helpful towards us.
I started with Nighthawk Security just over 1 year ago as a security officer after retiring from the military. The expectations they have for their employees are very easy to follow and understand and advancement opportunities are quite abundant for those motivated to move up. I was able to get promoted and get raises very quickly.
I've been with Nighthawk 8 years, was a great transition to civilian life and was a great opportunity to provide for my family. Really enjoy working here and my Managers Josh and Mike. The quality in uniforms are better than the previous company I worked for soon as I got back state side, and their standards are excellent.
I really enjoy working here. Been with the company 4 years this summer and have always been treated fairly and professionally.
I worked for Nighthawk Security three years ago prior to beginning my career in law enforcement. Nighthawk not only provided me with much of the experience I needed to work in law enforcement, they also provided me with a stable, disciplined environment to work in. Prior to joining Nighthawk, I worked for several other "national" security companies. In reference to uniform rentals, these companies took $.50 per hour from me for use of their uniforms. Over a period of a year, I was charged in excess of $1,000. With Nighthawk, I didn't have this issue. In fact, when I left, I received a severance because I provided the appropriate notice, fulfilled it and returned my uniforms. I enjoyed my time with Nighthawk and would recommend them to anyone!
I have been with Nighthawk Security Company for a year. Was promoted to site supervisor after 6 months. Communication is key to success. My experience with Nighthawk Security Company definitely exceeded my expectations. Love my job.
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.
Don't care what others think, great place to work that treated me right. 16 years in the military and I appreciate the professionalism and rules that this company has set in place.
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.
I've been working for Nighthawk Security now for 6 years. I was promoted to site supervisor after only 7 months. After almost 2 years as site supervisor, I was promoted and now work in the office. I will retire from this company. I have no need to find another job. This is the best company I've ever worked for.
Great company. When our company decided to use these guards we were getting horrid service from Securitas. The guards weren't showing up and were constantly sleeping. Nighthawk came in and we didn't have another problem. If you need to fix a messed up situation with some other company, these are the people that can help.
I used to work for Nighthawk a few years ago before i retired. Going back with them because i'm bored at home. The Owner is a fair man that keeps his word. When I left i provided notice and he told me I would be rehired if I ever wanted to come back. Pay is good Hours good Rules are fair Quick responses on uniform and payroll questions.
I worked at Nighthawk last year for 6ish months, provided my 30 day notice, fulfilled my notice and returned my uniforms in October. Received severance pay and was told that if I ever needed to come back to call and they would rehire. 2 weeks ago I needed a job because of the corona, I'm back to work for Nighthawk again and really happy that I work for a company that keeps it's word.
Great place to work. I've been here 2 years now and very happy.
Its Phillip Keown I work here from 2015 to 2017 just have to say to the workers in the office I'm sorry for all the things I said when I left I've mature better now and especially to Mike I'm sorry for everything I said to you and let everyone know this would be a wonderful security company to work for
I just want to i love working at Nighthawk. I grew up in a military family and love working at a place that take those same core values and apply them to business. Owner is very professional and met with everyone of us. I'VE NEVER HAD CEO/OWNER of a company as big as Nighthawk is (1200+ employees) sit down to meet me. I think this is a very important step that makes Nighthawk better.
Nighthawk is a great contract security company, Ken and Mike are very professional, I truly enjoy working for this contract provider. I would encourage anyone interested in contract security to contact Nighthawk Security.
Great experience in the interview, excited to start working here
I work for this company very organized and trained armed and unarmed officers.
been working here for a couple months and its been a blast. There is nothing negative really to say, just positives. They are pretty fair on everything and upfront on how the rules are and how they are enforced. I have referred my friends to work here!
Awesome place to work. Very precise in instructions and I always get paid on time!
This past year I worked at Nighthawk and due to non-work related reasons, I decided to leave. I did quit without a notice and returning my uniforms this week. I've done everything I've agreed to do except for providing a 2 week notice and have accepted that it forfeits a few things, but thats what I agreed to. I hope everyone with the New Year starting remembers that if you agree to something, you are held accountable for it! It's been great working for Nighthawk and my co-workers, but it sadly is coming to an end.
good place to work for. I've enjoyed my time when i did several years ago. I'm rejoining now and look forward to being here again.
I worked for Nighthawk for 8 years and was moved into an armed position 3 years ago. When I was first hired, I met the owner Ken Blue and Mike Mullen. Both are the best managers I have ever had, very blunt and direct. No beating the bush with them! The owner does have facial hair, which when you're interview, you're told you have to be clean shaven... When I asked why he didn't shave, the response I received is that the no facial hair policy (except for mustaches) is a requirement for Security Officers and any management that would be on a site for work or meetings. What I took from this is that Security Officers are held to a higher standard and since we are the face of the company and interact with the client, those standards include looking professional and officers looking the same. When I first moved to armed, there was a lot of gear that was added, including a Kevlar vest that was custom made for each guard at the site. Because they are custom made, it took a little while before I received my vest. I was put through thorough training and a gun range qualifier. Which some did not past so they were not allowed to work the armed site. Instead Nighthawk worked them into unarmed sites to train. Enjoyed working with Nighthawk and may return if retirement gets too boring! FYI make sure to turn in a notice and fulfill it! you can't be hired back if you don't!
Good people to deal with and professional quality service
Love working here in Nashville. Management is great, but my favorite is Matthew, he's the best and always in constant communication with the guards.
Very diverse group of people that I enjoy working with.
work for them in Tennessee! Great company, been with em for 4 years now. very happy here.
Came here right out of the navy and have enjoyed it.
This is one of the best security companies I've ever worked for the pay is very good for the industry and I'm always treated with respect we are held to a higher standard as this company strives on it not only that but the Managers speak to you with respect and dignity, Opportunities for advancement and raises are possible if you work hard and do what you're supposed to do at your job I have advanced fairly quickly through the company and honestly cannot see myself working anywhere else I see myself making a career here I recommend anyone to work here if you're looking for a professional company.
I work for a construction company that was doing work on a plant in the Columbus, IN area. It used Nighthawk and we were thoroughly impressed with the professionalism of the guards, the process and response time when we had to enter and exit the gates.
best company Ive ever worked for and very happy here. its your lost if you dont work here or have us as your security provider! We are the best!
was hired yesterday, very impressed with the company and the steps they take to make it fair for their employees and provide an excellent service to their clients.
I have been working here for almost 2 months, been treated fairly and haven't had any issues with this company. I got paid training, support from management and its just a great group to work for.
Great place to work! My scheduler is the best and the ops manager always answers when I have an issue!
Join up! Been with this company for 6 years and working hard paid off!
Hired last week and completed training today. Very well organized company. I was checked in on by my scheduler each day of training and when it was completed, I spoke to the operations manager josh who made sure everything was covered and I didn't need more time in case i needed it. They have set me up for success!
Working for Nighthawk has been great! I've worked 15 years with the company and at the age that I want to retire. I put in my notice like I agreed to and worked every day of the notice and received my severance just like I was told I would. I will miss working with the management and my fellow officers, they have become a family to me!
Great place to work, been with them for 2 years in the louisville area and love it!
Really happy here since my first day in 2018! Management is nice and the job came easy to me after I finished training.
Been working for Nighthawk for 4 years now. Communication and attention to detail has been the key to the success of this company.
Nighthawk has paid me fairly, on time and since I follow the rules, have given me several opportunities to advance. You aren't really given anything so that may be the wrong word, but if you earn it you will receive it. Saw some of these reviews talking about how bad of a place it is and most likely reason for their review is that they didn't follow the rules or weren't doing their job correctly.
Have been here awhile, have had opportunities come up to move up but i definitely earned them! really like it.
I've been working here for 6 weeks. Was displaced from previous security company I worked for due to COVID-19. Joined Nighthawk and staying. I read through a lot of the reviews posted and it seems people need to understand that each company is going to be different. I've been on and off as a security guard for several years with other companies and Nighthawk is the first to enforce rules that are needed to provide a good service to the employee, as much as to the client. That was evident when I was brought in for an interview on how they handled the CDC stuff and kept our social distancing, etc.. Very happy to be here.
If you do your job they will take care of you. I started out working in a guard shack and now i work in the office and i enjoy what i do.
Great Job! Great hours. Good Pay. If you follow the rules and do your job, you have zero stress. Attention to detail is communicated constantly from our management and that's because even the small things matter and they are aware of that. Requirements of Security Officers: Wear uniform correctly. Men have to be clean shaved, mustaches okay but can't be wild! Tattoos Okay from what I've been told. Be on time, if you're late or will be late, call your scheduler so they know and can let whoever is working know you're going to be late. DONT BEND THE RULES - you won't get away with it, all it does is make the job harder for everyone. Again, good place to work.
Great Experience during orientation. Met the Owner, great guy.
Had a great experience working here before I retired. Would refer friends here.
just hired! the on-boarding was very upfront and professional, can't wait to start!
Nighthawk is a great place to work because of its leadership that cares and the people you work with. I hear and see a lot of coaching to help people be better. They care!
My name Richard Osborne and I had a interview at this place and it was professional and they were really respectful all they want is for you to do your job and you will get rewarded
Great place to work, the interview is an entire day but it s paid off!
