Absolute International Security

One thing I did enjoy was the fast pace work environment but what I didn’t enjoy is how quickly someone could throw you under the bus for something that they should be responsible for. Some days were fun but most days were stressful. I did appreciate the raised I received the first two months I was there. Mainly due to the work that I was putting in. After that it just seemed as though the company was trying to push me out the door even in the midst of a pandemic. But I still showed up everyday and worked relentlessly. Towards the end they started to trip over the smallest things such as an email not being sent when they want it. But they would fail to understand the 20 plus other things I’m doing at the time. But all is well the moment I was let go not to mention during a pandemic, I knew a better opportunity was waiting for me. So thank you absolute, I leaned a lot from the time I was there. Now I’m on to bigger and better things.

AIS has a lot they need to work on. Management & Dispatch playing a big role in the company need to learn how to communicate better with their team and employees. My interview process took 6hrs!!! My background process took almost two months. (Bad start) I was never informed of my duties,or pay when I was placed at a different location. They seem to hire people who seem absolutely incapable of having common sense or know how to work in a professional manner.  The time cards are always incorrect. They promise things then can’t keep their word. They don’t inform you of a contract ending then they try to shuffle through the contracts they have last minute to place you somewhere. Absolutely Incompetent Staffing. Sad to see another company care less about quality people who in the long run are an investment to their company. 

If you are seeking full time or part timesecurity position this company with work with you. They offer great schedules and positions in your area. Working at this company  has given me the opertunity to grow and gain experience working in different environments such at schools, city hall's, offices and metro stations. They have 24/7 live dispatch to answer any questions or concerns. Once you arrive to a site a supervisor will meet with you to train you on your new position. The pay rate varrys on location in which you are working and you can always call the office to ask for more hours to work. I love the friendly environment that the company creates they are very welcoming and treat you like family.

I was brought in as a manager to develop, organize, structure, and establish their recruitment department. They were paying over 920 hours of overtime every paid period, they were playing "catch up" every day to cover posts that were open, and complaints were through the roof. 
Within 3 months, through the processes and producers in implemented, not only did I reduce overtime by 455 hrs, scheduling was able to forecast one week in advance, plus we had to pull back from recruiting because we no longer had part-time or full-time opportunities. 
If you are in desperate need of a job(as a guard), sure. but if not, i would not recommend this organization.

What is the best part of working at the company?
This is the worst company to work for, they're unprofessional,unorganized, they tell all of your personal business that is a big violation. The supervisors are liars and so is the rest of the staff. HR isn't worth 2 wooden nickels. They definitely don't have their employees backs or best interest. Stay away from this company

Depressing and annoying draining low pay

The company I was posted at was an outdoor patrol of the facility and parking lot.  Most days I must deal with customers (answering questions, instructing them where to park, preventing customers that were not accompanied by a sales representative from entering the building.  Watching truck flow and furniture entering and exiting the building.  I also assist in guarding the armored car service and check cashing mobile as needed.

I've received everything I've asked for in terms of gear and supplies for the job.

Nothing to report at this time.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Seems pretty chill. There's weekend work if you ask for it on Friday. I like that flexibility...

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working at my assigned post and monitoring for criminal activity/trespassing.

A company is only as good as its workers who must be willing to be open-minded, and the staff is only as dependable and refined as the company is respectful of them. Too often one worker, be it a male or a female, who works in the field or in the office, can destroy the harmony needed to form a team of  excellence in order to keep a family atmosphere of trust and camaraderie alive. Once in a while, we must take a moment to walk in our peers' shoes, be they dispatchers, armed or unarmed security officers, middle or upper management to even survive.

It all depends upon which location you are working at. Some are nicer than others. There are good people that work in the office there. I've worked at five different locations for them. there's no 'typical day' at this job. I like to know the rules at each location and stick to them . Its not for me to decide upon 'new rules.'
