What... a sad Security company
It's to bad that you can't even get your pay
On time..dont go to work for this company
Liars .fake -untrained.they talk with a forked tongue. I.Quit after 2nd week because of the
the Employees. Telling me that the pay is not on time. very high turn over of guards!!!!!
Rochester n.y. followup Still no pay
Great Company to work for. Great opportunity to grow in the company. Great leadership.
Hands down the worst security company ive ever worked for. They need to be investigated by the Better Business Bureau for fraud and non payments to employees. They're losing contracts like crazy and the ones that they do have are extremely far and at best pays only $12 an hour. I wouldn't recommend anyone to seek employment with this company or any entity associated with it.
The pay was a decent living wage. But as for management and client interaction. Management is running fearful of client displeasure they don't listen there officers at all. I think management restructuring is in order.
I work there for about two years as a supervisor and the one time I defended myself because a subordinate disrespected me because I couldn't give him the schedule he wanted, the major told me to let it go and give him what he want. This place is ran by incompetent fools. Just my opinion of the my experience. If you decide to work there prepare to kiss a**.
The training is to much for only a few days. I was in the army and when I got out I thought this place would be great. During training the make you run for 8 hours, and you don't get a break. Not even for water. If you ask for one then you get smoked. I'm talking just like in the military, a bunch of us threw up. There training ideas is to make you tired, yell at you, put you down, throw 10000 things at you and expect you to know everything in the first hour. The staff training you are rude, entitled, arrogant, know it all's. I have over a year as a cop and I was trying to tell them that some of the things they teach are illegal, like the training staff proudly said they put a suspect in handcuffs and kept him in handcuffs for over 6 hours. That's illegal. They say you are not allowed to make arrests, but you are allowed to detain people for as long as you like. No you are not. Also if you disagree with them you are fired. They don't care about you at all. They talk down to you. Also if you have any training, you have to hide it. My military and police training is ingrained in me. But they want you to do these crappy moves that in real life will get you killed. I went there for the pay, it was almost $15k more then I was making as a cop. If I had known I wouldn't have gone there. Also the person in charge at the site was very rude. And to top it all off they made up stories about me. And they had me go threw the evaluation, where they shot me at least 100 times at point blank range with airsoft guns. They shot just at me no one else during the training. I get they had a problem with me but that's not how you treat someone. Be prepared to give everything for this company but get nothing back. The training is very long and the hours jump all over the place. One week it was 6am till 5pm the next it was 2pm till 12, then 11 to 7, then 7am till 4pm, then 1pm to 11pm.
Unprofessional, inconsiderate a horrible company to work for .
Very very unprofessional and very unorganized. They hired a guy without he security license he has been working for them for 4 months. Lie to you about everything. I was always short on my paycheck because of them. They shorted me $400 and $300 and this was a constantly thing. I was doing the supervisor job all the time. It was so much lies that was going on
One of their officers violently grabbed me by the arm and tried to detain me in the lobby of my apartment because he said he didn't see me use my keycard to enter (which I do every time). When I asked for his name, he lied to me multiple times. When I complained to the company, they didn't respond and then they said they didn't believe me. The same officer also verbally abused my wife, when we complained again they said they would "fire" him but couldn't identify him so they ended up firing multiple black security guards. When we told them they made a mistake they said they were satisfied with their decision to get rid of them. Turns out they never fired the officer that abused us and only relocated him to Georgetown University's campus where I'm sure he will continue to violently harass people.
Update: SecTek responded below saying they dispute the allegations in this review and that this incident happened a year ago and it did not (shows how thorough their investigation was). It only happened a few months ago and when I contacted the admin at SecTek they tried to ignore me by not returning my calls or taking my reports seriously. When I finally spoke to someone they made it fairly clear from their actions and statement that they don't believe or care about victims at SecTek, only about protecting themselves and their employees.
Also - There is evidence, the whole incident was recorded on the building's security cameras, however the building didn't offer the recordings and SecTek didn't bother to ask for it, they just took their word on it (says a lot about their thorough investigation again).
Despite what they say, the building did tell us they "fired" 2 black security guards by mistake due to a lack of identification (which we have them admitting to in a recording and documented in emails) and then said they wouldn't re-hire the one unfairly fired because he let a hooker they had in custody in the building go so they were thinking of letting him go anyway.
As I stated above, they were not "fired" as our building lead on, SecTek simply transferred them to another property rather than stick up for their employees of color or do a more thorough investigation. I would be happy to send all this evidence to SecTek but they never asked for it because they don't care and don't want to help... seems like they only care when these horrible actions are made public.
I now understand why this company has 1.5 stars. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND a H.R. DEPARTMENT that IS NOT WORTH ANYTHING EITHER!!!! The company has rules that apparently do not apply to management. They have a supervisor at one of the sites that has totally pulled wool over THEIR eyes. He gets away with murder and the company goes along with it. I DO NOT recommend this company to anyone..or should I say "WORK FOR THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK".
