Black Knight Security

● Work-life balance
I thought I found a diamond in the rough with this small company, until I had a complaint. My supervisor at the time consistently lied and made false reports to the police on people. I spoke up about it and the result was from that day forward I was labeled a trouble maker by management. My character was consistently slandered by upper management. Even to my own subordinates. Everytime I called a meeting with hr/owner for some resolution somehow the meeting turned into how bad my attitude was without me even speaking one word. I was never written up. Not one complaint from my client. I always went above and beyond for this company and never any appreciation. I made 37,000 in one year on $10.50 hr salary how many overtime hours did I work? ALOT!!! Never any support. My site was very hard to staff but I made it work at the expense of my own health. The health benefits are terrible. They give raises based on personal feelings not work performance. If you need a income work for them they just want bodies. But if you have good work ethic and morals looking for a company to grow with. Keep looking.

● Pay & benefits
Paid sick days were only given due to covid. Employees were not made aware of these paid sick days. Most don't even know that they have them. The paycom system is never accurate. The  vacation hours are barely ever up to date.

● Job security and advancement
I was made a supervisor with no training or experience. I made upper management aware that I was struggling. I was promised payed leadership and management seminars by the owner that never happened. I just had to figure it out.

● Culture
Management discuss employees personal information with anyone. I recieved a phone call from a former co-worker stating my decision to file for unemployment. This information was shared by the Director of Operations.

● Overall
If you want a pay check work here. If you have any decency and care about work ethic or morals. Keep looking. They will work you to the bone and find every excuse not to pay you what you are worth. Upper management is a joke. They have no clue how to be professional .

I started working with Black Knight Security part time just on the weekends for additional money. Then Covid-19 forced so many companies to close including my full time job which was in the food industry. I requested more hours at Black Knight Security to be a full time guard so the extra hours really helped out. I ended up resigning from cooking as I couldn't get enough hours and felt unsafe around people who sometimes refused to wear a mask. At Black Knight I worked alone and didn't come in contact with many people and the job is easy so I have no complaints about it  even started to attend school and picked up a couple online classes. Its a good job plenty of overtime hours are available which I don't mind especially now  

Excellent guard service. Managers have an irresponsible workload compared to how they are compensated. There will be constant turnover in key leadership roles until upper management makes taking care of their managers a priority. This will continually dilute the quality of the junior leadership and the guard service's quality will suffer for it. The quality of the people they hire is exceptional. Upper management would make sometimes baffling decisions and sabotage the efforts of those employees to improve the company. There are highs and lows in the the amount of stress on the job. The highs can be ridiculous and there is never enough time to recover from those highs before the next one. The clients are great you will never find nicer people.

Every security job is different the site your posted at your co-workers, Client employees and especially Management. But before you accept the job offer its best to learn as much as possible about company expectations and what is asked of you. I'm being recognized for the work I do not only by the client or management but also the visitors and people in the surrounding area. 

In short time working with black knight security everyone has been there for me and my mom during hard times. If I had issues I know I could go and address it. For the most part we treat each other like family. The site I'm at is also a major support team for me. Everyone makes a point to get to know you. Most importantly this company embraces what being insecurity truly is all about. Supervisors make sure you are a fit for the site. I'm able to use the different kinds of training in this company. 

I feel this company is a career minded place to work. I also know that there is room for growth and I am a perfect example of this. I moved up in this company in a very short time to the position that I currently hold. This company has always kept my family in mind when it comes to my work load, and when I've had family emergencies it has supported and helped me to get through it. I would and have recommended this company to others who are looking to get into the security field as a job and/or career.

This company is good in alot of ways compared to others I've worked for.  We have company paid training classes and CPR classes.  they don't put you some place different everyday and change your schedule every week. You can plan around your work times cause they don't change. You can buddy swap if you need a day off. You can always get a hold of a manager even the president if you need to.  He even works on weekends and comes to talk to us. They try to help people when they can.

They WILL not give a sign on bonus. They will expect you to stay over whenever they say. If you have a problem at your site, depending on the nature of it, might as well move on because the upper management is the most inept I have ever experienced. Same for if one of the site "supervisors" decides they don't like you. Clear favoritism and nepotism displayed. They will force you to cover shifts, then reprimand you if you nod off. 

Ethics are in question at this company.  Company starts of great but when you cant do what's asked of you on your off time you are told things like "I'm being inconvenienced " by your superior. Then you are also put in the middle of Executives personal relationships making for an incredibly uncomfortable work environment.

The work expectation is exceptionally high.  It's expected that I needed to be 100% correct 100% of the time.  The culture is typical of most family-run businesses.  You are expected to produce a high volume of work.  The most enjoyable part is the co-workers.  They are a great group of people.  Some interpersonal relationships are a persistent problem.
