AEGIS Security & Investigations, Inc.

I am busybody at work at I enforce security protocol at shopping centers.  My shift normally goes by quick as I’m often busy  assisting tenants and customers. The property manager also connects with me and shows her appreciation when appropriate. Other security companies I worked with I feel like im just a number. 
At Aegis my Manager and client are always there to support me. It’s great to be acknowledged! I have a passion to work hard for Aegis as my Manager truly cares about my growth and I feel never steers me the wrong way. A straight shooter!  My job can be difficult at times when dealing with mental illness as often found with some of the un-housed population I deal with.  I truly enjoy working for Aegis Security & Investigations here in Fresno, Ca. I’ve learned so much working here! A great experience! 

In comparison to a lot of the other Security companies out there, Aegis is just as good, if not better than most of them. The pay is slightly higher for armed work than I see on other jobs of similar type and hours, and the supervisors do a good job of being approachable and answering any questions you might have. There is a 24/7 line to them as well so anything that comes up you can have an answer for very quickly as well. As with any Security work, sometimes it does get a little boring; but you have to keep yourself busy and if you can’t do that you probably shouldn’t be in this line of work.  The post locations and schedules available are pretty varied so you can find something that works for you and an environment that does as well.

There's always work available and I feel that I paid quite fairly. Given the nature of the industry, our pay rate is often determined by the contracts we accept. That being said, it could be better.

Communication is also an area of weakness at times. Scheduling always seems to be on top of things; however, HR and management feels impersonal at times and not as present as they could be. 
HR can come off more robotic than a resource that employees can utilize. In terms of management, timely updates and a closer attention to detail could elevate the understanding of guards and client expectations. Outdated information mixed in with current post orders, for example, can cause confusion. Or at worst, hurt rapport with clients.

This company is a joke, and just like numerous other security firms in the Los Angeles area, you're pretty much just a body to fill and have to "cozy up" to the higher ups to advance or get considered for higher paying assignments (like Executive Protection). God forbid you actually have that type of verifiable experience to match (sarcasm). Management could care less about you... The pay seems to be a tad bit higher than most but with such a toxic work environment, it's not even worth it. Do yourself a favor and just find another company that actually appreciates your skills that you bring to the table and rewards you accordingly for it.

I’ve been doing this for 10 years and all I can say now I wish I HAD NEVER applied for this company! They make you only work 37.5 hours a week so you’ll never work OT unless you pick up another shift. Secondly, they will make up lies management and the security personael to remove you from a post! I’m aboslouelty disgusted in this company. The posts are ok but the people and the culture is not. So much favoritism and if you want to pick up a shift let’s say for 6 days they just tell you sorry it’s taken already. Thankfully I wasn’t there for long term but my experience was terrible. I hope I can help someone from avoiding from this disaster. 

The post that this company offer are great. However, the no parking for officers at post sucks especial if you work in the downtown area you are asked to pay for parking some post go all the way up to 20 dollars. reimbursement is available 

Pros 
get to pick the days that you work 
pay rate was good

Cons

MANAGEMENT  on all levels needs to learn how to speak to there subordinates (some are good) and actually do something when an incident occurs. 
guards that show up high to post.
The system used to clock in and out of post needs to be replaced 
Having to always check your pay stub!

Having a positive attitude at this job gives the atmosphere of excitement and sales for the store. Keeping active on the job helps your hourly assessment of the job site knowing what is going on while doing your job. I think the hardest part of the job is the standing so I do some walking around the store to help my legs other than that is get to work on time and be conscientious while working with great customer service. 

First and foremost, this is a great company, my manager is someone who keeps me motivated and keeps me on point. The work sites are great as we range from retail to construction to residential and etc. They have accounts all over Southern California and are now reaching out to the east bay and Bay Area itself. Management and staff are on point and very communicative, they cooperate with whatever issue you may come across and work with your schedule as well. 10/10 

I enforced rules and regulations to prevent criminal activity prior to it happening. I monitored points of 
access in a building or property to allow entry only to individuals with the correct credentials. I have also 
walked among visitors in public events such as; concerts, Grammy awards, golden globes awards, and BET
 awards to promote order and provide a visible presence that deters safety issues.

You put in what you get out. It's a fair work place. Everyone has a fair chance. Nothing but respect given, understanding of life situations, and great training and knowledge of the job. Set up to succeed. Great thing about this job is consistency is key. The more you show up the more Aegis will show up for you. Respect is due where respect is given. Also the wages are great.
