Pros

3 days paid sick leave per year. Health and dental benefits, but only if you are hired for a full time position. (good luck with that!)

Cons

This company encourages feed back from employees, but in reality will use it against them to weed out employees who question the integrity and work ethics of the power tripping management.

Thank you. As one of the largest full service security companies in Canada, our belief in promoting from within, coupled with our strong record of growth, has provided countless opportunities for our members - from part-time to full-time employees - to grow within our company. With our extensive training programs and impressive growth, members of Paladin can easily develop a successful career path within our company. Additionally, most security companies charge their employees for the training that they provide them with, and make them pay for their own security licenses. They also make them pay for uniform deposits. Paladin Security is different. We pay all the up-front and ongoing costs for your security license, your uniform and your training which, in many cases, can add up to thousands of dollars per employee per year. Our Employee Benefit Program is also without peer in the industry, and we additionally provide numerous bonuses at each branch on a monthly basis for performance-related service. Check out the 'What our people say' videos on our website paladinsecurity.com for employee feedback, in their own words.

Thank you for the feedback. As a company that is committed to delivering the highest level of training and education in the industry, Paladin provides over 50 safety and security related courses to our staff in order to encourage their development and advancement within our company. Most security companies charge their employees for the training that they provide them with, and make them pay for their own security licenses. Additionally, they also make them pay for uniform deposits. Paladin Security is different. We pay all the upfront and ongoing costs for your security license, your uniform and your training. Thanks to our extensive supervisory and support structure, you can discuss any issues with your Site Supervisor or Client Service Manager at any time, who are there to listen and to help. Keep up the optimism!
