Pros

If you are used to getting big commission checks, building your own projects or quoting reasonably priced security equipment, then you are working for another company. Secuirtas has none of that whatsoever.

Cons

Remember the kid table at thanksgiving? Working for securitas is being permanently stuck at the kid table. Even if you have 20+ years of experience building large complex security systems, you will not have that ability at Securitas. The second a project hits a certain dollar amount, or certain amount of labor hours - the company forces the sales rep to have someone else "handle" it. The second that happens the commission gets cut in half. So basically the company takes half of the expected commission away on large projects by forcing the sales rep to use mandatory help - even if no additional equipment or specialized pricing is needed. The commission rate is halved on big projects. Its downright criminal and I'm surprised nobody has taken legal action. If you are good at electronic security sales and have any talent whatsoever - you will find very quickly that the employees left at Securitas are the bottom of the barrel - all the top talent walked away to the competition.

Pros

The only thing that I enjoyed while working here was the team that I had the privilege to work with. My employment was on a tech team which was a vendor with a larger Tech company. I was able to network and meet some amazing people that allowed myself to connect with others in the tech industry.

Cons

My experience with this company was extremely disappointing. I raised serious workplace concerns related to disability-related treatment, harassment, and overall employee support through internal reporting channels, but I did not feel those concerns were handled with the urgency, fairness, or accountability they deserved. The issues continued for a significant period of time, despite repeated attempts to report them properly. After I provided additional details that were requested as part of the internal reporting process, I was removed from my client assignment. In my opinion, the timing and handling of that decision felt retaliatory, especially because it happened after I raised concerns and participated in the company’s reporting process in good faith. I was initially told that another placement would be pursued, and there was communication for several weeks. However, I was ultimately separated from the company under a “Non-Placement Termination.” The experience left me feeling unsupported and gave me serious concerns about how employee complaints, workplace concerns, and follow-through are handled.
