This company is the one used by my apartment community. The times I've had to call for someone to come out to deal with excessive after-hours noise have resulted in nothing. All but one of those times I am positive they never even sent anyone out. Also, more often than not you have to wait a long time for the "next available customer service representative."
This is a good company to work for. I've been here for 16 years and I really appreciate the effort every day toward great customer service. The sales guy and operations teams will bend over backward to try and get clients customized security services that meet their needs. There are more benefits for hourly workers here than I've seen in most other places.
Very bad company they do not train or care about their employees or listen/help with any of their concerns if you do decide to work for them you better be ready for them to take almost $200 from you when you start (since you have to pay for uniforms and your first 8 hours of "training" which is just a uninformed person showing you a slide show that has never worked as a guard) and then the 2nd supposed to be paid training will just never happen and they'll proceed to schedule you at sites and never train you and when you have questions or concerns they become irrelevant as no one will assist you in the upper management or even supervisor levels they will just tell you to figure it out because it was something "unplanned" they'll say but will happen over multiple days even weeks before being addressed or communicated with employees at the respective sites the bottom line is unless you want to be treated unfairly as an employee don't work here and if you are thinking of using them for your company know they will send you untrained people to cover your contracted sites and will take no effort or steps to ensure people know what they're doing to protect your sites or property. Steer clear of pacific security.
Have worked security before, not for Pacific though. I do know one of it's employees however. The security guard who works the Safeway Plaza Marysville, Wash. Top notch employee, easy to talk to, on top of his job, treats everybody with respect and dignity even when he is not extended the same. Pacific Security....you did your vetting correct on this employee. So, a BIG SALUTE and THANK YOU to Safeway Plaza security guard....RON.
This is an amazing company! They are good to there employees and clients. I've only had two months of experience with them, but I have seen that they go above and beyond. I would definitely put them at the top of the list for any security work that you need!
Large turn over rate. Not a stable pay scale I literally worked for a month and still haven't got payed. Only positive thing I can say is cool management. However they shouldn't sugar coat things just to get new hires.
These clowns just sit idling in their cars on their phones in Barkley Village as they are supposed to be patrolling.
I witnessed three of this company employees laughing while someone was threatened by a homeless man on Tuesday January eighth 2019. When she asked for help they told her they were taking care of it? Don't ask me what that means but if someone threatens my life I know at least, hope someone calls the police especially if I didn't have a phone on me. I heard the man threaten the woman twice. What a bunch of dbags in this company. Look elsewhere for safety.
Personable management and office environment. As long as you make your needs known and do good work on site, Pacific Security will treat you well. The key is being open and active. The assumption on their part is that the people they hire want to work as much as possible so they can make as much as possible. In that regard, they will not fail you. If you want to work a lot, or train for sites that pay a lot? The option is there. If you have other obligations or intentions, then being forward with them will get you what you want, and at the very least, what you need. I m a full-time college student and my education is my main priority. I had to resign a few months ago in order to address a few personal problems and get a better handle on my grades. When I decided to come back, they welcomed me immediately and with open arms. They prioritized my schedule and offered me flexibility in case school toughens up again in the future. I would recommend Pacific Security to other college students (and any anyone else with scheduling restrictions) and to those that have presence the line of work requires it and the company rewards those that have it. If you re local to Whatcom and have prior experience (or are looking to get into Security), then this is the place for you.
I work here, great job and awesome bosses. They have taken very good care of me.
It honestly doesn't even deserve a star. Worst company in the world. They make up jobs and put them on Craigslist making it sound like a awsome job with great pay but it's far from that. I applied for a Loss Prevention job that paid 18 hour full time. I got hired as a security guard working different locations everyday only getting paid 13. It's a horrible company. Great company for Felon convicts that need a job! They don't drug test or background check.
Unprofessional rent a cop at hospital on power trip, harassing patients with appointments to get Covid vaccinations. This person also had her badge flipped so her name wasn t visible. I called the PacSec Bellingham branch and the manager disregarded my concerns. I guess that unprofessional mentality is representational of the company as he spat out a bunch of placating statements and still said I was wrong. He was sure of his employees location even though I was standing next to her on the opposite side of the hospital, said the Peace Health staff were wrong about their parking policies, and took no responsibility. Stay away unless you want your business to lose customers. Jonathan is the manager, let him know how you feel, he s at the Bellingham location on Iron street. This is why we support higher education folks!
Worked for this company for over 4 years, first class operations, first class training, Lacey and Michelle are the leaders who make this company work well with employers and employees! It is clearly a leader in the security industry!
STAY AWAY from this company! I say that to save people from getting hurt while employed here and say that for companies looking to contract with this horrible security agency. How do I know they're so bad? I was a manager there. I watched them fire employees under terms that violated labor laws and I watched them not meet the needs of clients while still billing them hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Again, STAY AWAY!
Their security guards will defend and lie for people who run up and assault you. Last night I was begging a Pacific Security guard to call the police and she refused to because the person attacking me was her boyfriend. Sickening, I now have a swoolen ankle from being thrown down some stairs... The worst security guard.
They paid everyone different wages People working there make 10 an hour and new people make 14.75 They send you on an 11 hour shift then ask you to be in another town to do 9 more hours as soon as you clock out from the 11 And they cant even respect gender pronouns when you ask repeatedly And they fire trans people regularly for mo reason. Do NOT recommend working here. They are worse than Walmart.
I contacted Pacific Security for an event weeks in advance. Over two weeks before the event occurred, I sent them my billing info. I called them back the day before the event to confirm they would provide security, but their booking person said they had never received my email and could not provide their services despite the fact that the email was in my "sent mail" inbox to the right address, which I confirmed with the booking person. If you want to hire pacific security, you'll also have to work with their booking person. This employee is flaky and uninterested in your needs. In the end, all he could do was refer me to a rival company. Pacific Security is unprofessional and sloppy, I am glad I won't be receiving their services.
Very professional. One issue one security guard. It took one phone call problem with addressed. Quickly. No one lost their job. Just had a good real talking to. Very professional.
