Pros

Can’t think of one thing

Cons

Worked as a site supervisor. First day on site it was only me the supervisor and one other guard. The internal manager for the contract stated sorry “everyone quit last night.” Are you kidding me??(Wonder why). We needed at least 6 guards to staff this place. Internal manager of site (former Securitas supervisor) quit and worked as an employee for internal contract site. somehow overseeing our Securitas contract and running it. This former Securitas supervisor was catering to the one guard, because he’s been there for 10 years. They run 12 hour shifts one guard on site a shift, and refuse breaks as they need the one security guard to bounce around answering tons of request and manufacturing alarms.” By themselves. Due to no employees, these shifts turned into 24 hour shifts, telling us we cannot leave until they find a flex officer to relive us. They never found a flex officer as everyone was familiar with this site. They then let the one guard that’s been there 10 years run the show and do my schedule and payroll! Im a supervisor! What was I hired for then? I asked the guard why he didn’t step up to take supervisor spot. He said he doesn’t want the role, but yet runs the show! I then spoke to district manager in Hartford ct, he told me it would take 3 weeks to bring on atleast 2 new employees to hire externally. I stated sir I will not and cannot work 24 hour shifts with one guard and no breaks, this site is a loss of a contract as far as I’m concerned. I will not be working everyday 24 hours with no breaks as this is not even logically nor legal. He then said we’ll quit like everyone else, and I have nothing to offer you in state of MA. Found out they lost all there contracts in the western ma region, and closed down there office and relocated to Hartford ct. well all makes sense now. Stay far away. There is so many security companies out there with better opportunity.
