The pay was decent but communication is horrible 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Communication with management is stressful when you can get them on the phone they almost act like they don't care 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is what you make it honestly if your new to security it's great but if you have experience it's a nightmare that you will be searching for anything and everything to find an excuse to leave management is a nightmare to communicate with policies will change at your site and they won't tell you or will forget to tell you they have to many hands in 1 pot and they can't seem to get on the track with one another. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Patrol property and grounds making sure all the doors are locked

At 1st Security Services, I have enjoyed learning from the ground up and understanding the inside and outside language and processes for the company. 1st Security takes the time to educate all across the board including office assistants, administrative assistants, security officers, managers, etc and the way the explanation is reviewed with you as a team is one that is understood on why and how. 1st Security is a growing company that is always improving the technology side of the business but also the boots on the ground business and the managers check in and retrain when necessary and also stand post when necessary. No one is bigger than the next and it really is a home and team environment working for 1st Security Services. 

I’ve worked as a guard with 1st Security Services of Ohio for almost three years. When I first started, communication from management wasn’t the best — instructions were unclear and it sometimes felt unorganized. Over time, though, things have noticeably improved. Management has become far more responsive, supportive, and consistent, and the overall work environment is in a really good place now.

The wages are still on the lower side, and there isn’t much room for advancement, but that’s fairly typical for unarmed security positions in general. If you’re looking for steady work with a company that is genuinely improving and listens to its employees, 1st Security Services of Ohio is a solid option.

Working here as an admin I can say that this isn't the kind of job you want to leave just because you found another job paying $1-2 more. I say this because it's rare to find an administrative job that isn't dead end or low salary out in Vegas. Starting pay is good and raises can go as high as $3 per review however they do want good honest work so try not to EXPECT your raise to be that high just because you did the bare minimum. On that note this company is aware of burnout and its more about the quality of your work than the quantity of it . The owner is looking for people to grow the company and promote from within so you won't get the best out of this position by sticking around for 1-6 months. 

I enjoy working at 1st Security and have grown within the company the past 5 years. The owner and CEO is very hands on and takes the time to mentor each member of his management team so the managers can educate all across the board. 

Pay is equal and fair at 1st Security and as long as you show what you are about as an employee employed with 1st Security there is no stopping you and your growth! 

If you are looking for a career and would like to grow within an organization then 1st Security is where you need to be!
