AgTac Services

A typical work day: you go in at 3pm sit for about 30 min to an hour have a VERY brief meeting about what activities are going on, then you have a section consisting of about 15 rooms,gym,lobby, band room, auditorium,flex theatre,halls, and stair cases (all done by 1 individual person ),
Then you get a 15 minutes break at around 5:30 (required)
After that you go back continue and at 7:30pm -8 pm youll have dinner break (required)which lasts 30 minutes then you'll go back and finish working but you will have to be DONE at 11pm, there is no helping eachother so if you dont get done your going to hear about it the next day. Also you HAVE to stay till 12 even though the application says 3-11 it's more 3:15-11:55 

What I learned was actually self taught: I learned time management (didn't help much because of how much you have to do)

Management: barely comes around they are almost non-existent everything is over the phone and since there is a language barrier with the crew the managers don't care to fix anything not even OSHA VIOLATIONS! Like mixing chemicals

Work Culture: there is none 

Hardest part of the job: is probably going to have to be not having support from the managers, team lead, or crew,they also mix chemicals and ignore OSHA VIOLATIONS, everything is done over the phone through Google translate and Whatsapp which causes more confusionand doesn't fix anything 

The most enjoyable part of the job: you can listen to music and go at your own pace

Working with Agtac was one of the greatest displeasures i've ever had in my professional career. The client was horrible and refused to work with us a good 80% of the time. There was little to no communication from the client to us or from Agtac to our team. Most things were usually done last minute, things were disorganized and trying to combat these issues was like fighting an losing battle. For every push there was a push back and every success felt only temporary. There were multiple days that personally pushed me to quit, and that same sentiment was often felt by my officers. Every push to increase moral was often followed by news or last minute policy changes from higher up that would only further disheartened the team. During my time at this company there was consistently an hope from myself and the director that the longer we remained, the more we could help fix and get right. This was a delusion, as nothing can be fixed either from the clients end or the companies when the people at the top are happy to keep a blind eye to the issues. The only thing that kept me going at this company was the team of excellent Officers that we had managed to form as well as a few select people in the company and client that really do try. 
If you are experienced in Security look elsewhere. The disorganization will leave your disappointed. If you are new to security or looking for a good retirement job, come in test the waters earn your paycheck but don't plan on staying, you'll either get fired or quit before long. 

Worked 3:25pm-till 11:55 pm though time sheets say 3:30 -12am. You can't call out or go home even if you have a family emergency(wasn't allowed to leave when I found out a family member had passed) and when I called in the next day to be with family was told that they couldn't have people calling off and they could only give off for the funeral. They give you unfair sections. They say it's a team and a family but there is no welcoming feeling. There is not a single English speaking person on the team, and they will get upset at you if you don't learn Spanish. When problems are brought up to management, it gets thrown under the rug and then you will become the problem and they will push you out.  Though they give you a map of your section, everyday there is something else added, wether your already pushing the time to be finished or not. If you have any sort of health problems don't come here. They DO NOT care in the slightest and will push you into situations that they know can and will affect you, and all they will do is laugh. This company is all over the place, there is no direction, no guidance, No leadership,  they mix chemicals that can create mustard gas, and expect you to as well. THEY WILL TALK YOU IN CIRCLES UNTIL YOU GO CRAZY AND JUST AGREE. If you question something you will be sent home for being "insubordinate". Its to much work for to little pay. In a team of 5-7 they'll make it uneven dispersed sections, their favorites typically get the smaller sections. Company's a joke in everyway 

Best part of my job is my coworkers! We are all close and help each other out whenever. Our site is great! They invite us to cook outs, gave us gift cards for Christmas and steaks to cook. AgTac didn't do anything for us. The benefits are too expensive to have when you only make $10.50 an hour but they aren't above average. You get a week of paid vacation after a year of being employed. I feel that in this day and age when there are companies who pay better and appreciate their employees more, AgTac would try to stay in competition with them. I know they are a new company and are still finding their footing but I hope they realize how much we all do and put up with.

The job includes, temp checks, patrols, logging trucks in and out, and dealing with the site employees. You sit the majority of the day and there is some down time, normally that's filled with paperwork or writing up incident reports. Temp checks have to be done in rain, shine, cold or hot weather. Uniform is okay but the pants suck. Overall, it's a good place to work!

Once on the jobsite all standards do not apply. Who ever they choose to manage makes up rules as go. No such thing as scheduling. They reschedule hours and days off with no consideration for any home life you may have. Either work the hours they give you, even if they are consistently change them, including days on or off or be fired at a drop of a hat if you don't. No real benefits without you paying a lot of money to get. Once on site, rarely hear from the main office. The only time you do hear from they want something from you, like adding another job or jobsite or they are contacting you to complain about something. If you need to contact them then they avoid you, never returning any calls. Their managers have no work experience, so even when they have never done the job, they are suppose to tell you how to do your job. Just reading a job description does not give the right to tell someone how to do the job. No respect given to any employee even respect has been earned. 

The job is extremely easy. All you need to know is how to use the radio, take the trailers number, and talk to truckers to give them the paper information that they need. Breaks are very generous if you work overnight. Down part is, the truckers say the number extremely fast and you'll have to adapt to that to get the numbers accurately. The management is terrible. I registered for a prepaid card for my check to go to; it never came through. I waited a month after I quit before I got my first paycheck. They never paid me for some hours I have worked. If you do work there, have it directly connected to your bank account. Make sure you document the hours you have worked because the management has been known for not paying employees the correct hours.
It is easy doing overnights. There is a lot of downtime when you do work that shift, so if you have any homework from college or reading to do; this job would be perfect for you to do that. The shack does not have internet. 

AgTac services presents themselves as a leading and premier security agency; unfortunately, that is farthest from the truth. 

The management company pays their site manager an insane amount of money and pays YOU the security officer the lowest wages possible. The majority of their business is Meat Packing so if you don't like slaughterhouses this is not the company for you. 

Upper Management is never seen. Their only bona-fide office is their corporate office in Lincoln, Nebraska. On site managers are expected to complete all HR functions, training and supervision. So if you are applying to be the manager for a site and like working constantly then this is the job for you! 

AgTac does not keep up with uniforming their employees or ensuring that they carry the proper licensing. So if you don't know your state laws for security companies do not apply. 



I worked for Ag Tac for a year in Fremont at Hormel. It was the worst job I have ever had. The pay was terrible, you could never get time off/vacation. My boss was the worst part about it all as he played favorites and did not care about what his employees did or did not do. Communication between employees and the boss was horrific, and he would not handle situations between employees until it came down to an HR investigation and he had no choice in the matter anymore. The way the employees talked to each other was appalling and the way the boss talked to his employees was completely and totally unprofessional. He wouldn't tell you when someone on your shift called in so you were left short ALL THE TIME on overnights because someone just wouldn't show up and you had no idea. I would NEVER EVER EVER recommend this company to anybody no matter how bad they needed a job.

Typical workday - Drive 1.5 to 2 hours or more to the site, spend 5 to 6 hours helping the manager and team, then return 1.5 to 2 hours or more home. .  Write your report once home, then sleep then get up and do it again, all the while being questioned on not working enough hours.  What I learned was to not trust the supervisors to really help and understand your efforts. Management is iffy. I'm not convinced that higher management really know what is happening in the field. The fact that your contracted partners don't want to see or communicate with regional, or Corp ops is disturbing.  The hardest thing is being told one thing when it's really another then being refused to do the very thing you were given the ok to do? The most enjoyable part was the ability to build a positive repour with your customers and employees.

I recently started and my supervisor has had nothing but problems with me I’m not sure why. I do my work and I keep my head down. I’m constantly feeling like I can’t do anything right with my supervisor. I get reprimanded for things my coworkers do as if I’m the one doing these things they should be getting in trouble for. Offers no flexibility with my shift without someone being upset about it. The only reason I ever call out or try to is if I can’t physically make it in since it’s an easy job there’s no reason for me to not go to work simply because I don’t feel like it. I love my coworkers though, I only stay at my job because it’s easy and I’d miss my coworkers. The supervisor is my only issue. Will be looking to relocate or work somewhere else if I continuously have issues with the supervisor
