CITIGUARD SECURITY

What is the best part of working at the company?
Honestly i just have to write was great about working for this company but the only thing was the overtime that it nothing  beside there and some of the co-workers.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
My experience working with Citiguard was very disappointing.

During my time there, I felt uncomfortable and unsupported due to how certain situations were handled in the office. I personally experienced what I perceived as unfair treatment, and I did not feel that concerns were taken seriously when raised.

There appeared to be favoritism within management, and I felt that accountability was inconsistent. In my experience, when employees were not favored, small issues were escalated or used against them rather than being addressed constructively.

I believe workplace environments should promote fairness, professionalism, and respect for all employees. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.

When I first applied to this company I drove from Orange County all the way to Northridge for an interview for a decent paying position they had open in my area. I get there and the guy interviewing me was some middle eastern guy who ended up doing a bait and switch by trying to offer me another post that paid less and when I asked about the position I applied for he chuckled and said "first we have to get to know each other" so I drove all the way over there for nothing because I didn't except the lower paying job. I applied later on to an open armed position they had and there was no support or help from anyone I only saw the field supervisor once on day 1 because it was a new account then the ladies in the office lost my direct deposit paperwork and messed up my hours and I had to pick up my check in Northridge because they forgot to send it out.

My experience with Citiguard was disappointing due to ongoing operational and management issues. There is a serious lack of proper equipment, which makes it difficult for officers to perform their duties safely and effectively. Patrol vehicles are not provided, and guards are expected to use their personal vehicles for patrols, which is unprofessional and creates liability concerns. 
There is also very limited supervision and leadership support. Guidance, oversight, and on-site management are largely absent, leaving officers without clear direction or accountability. Additionally, officers are required to use their personal cell phones to clock in and out, which is not appropriate for a professional security operation.

You will be paid for showing up to work, but they will constantly blame you for problems at the job site. Managers seem to only care about recruiting bodies rather than keeping and maintaining the employees they have. Any issues that happen during your shift will not be answered or dealt with by management. Instead  they will ignore your reports/issues that you submit until the account holders bring it to their attention, at that point management will contact you on that same very issue/report and ask you and blame you for not contacting them about those same very issues/reports that they have been ignoring. You will be blamed for putting the account in jeopardy. I’ve worked for many security companies in Los Angeles this was by far the worst company, it’s ran by a bunch of children young kids that are lazy. You’ve been warned 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Citiguard pays on time and allows independent judgment on job assignments. Probably the best company I have worked for. Being of age the company appreciates older workers judgement and work ethics. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having independents and company backing. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is very good about backing employees and allowing employees to be involved in decisions. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arrive at work sign in with client and proceed to do the duties of security of hotel. I do my hourly checks along with inter act with intruders and guest of the hotel.


I experienced a significant lack of communication after being hired, waiting for the duty station to open. Despite my proactive approach in reaching out for three weeks, there was no initiative from management or HR to provide updates, leaving me in a state of uncertainty. This silence persisted even after I secured employment elsewhere. The entire process, which included finalizing hiring formalities and preparing for the role, unfortunately, resulted in a non-starter situation. A more responsive and communicative approach from HR and management would have greatly improved the experience.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There was no best part, Citiguard is unprofessional and their management is incompetent.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management threatening your position if you didn’t cover others who were delinquent. Also making promises and then not coming through.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Non-existent, management is lazy and unresponsive and many of your fellow employees are the same.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come in clean up the mess from before and try not to leave one for the next person

What is the best part of working at the company?
Traveling around different cities 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You work 7days a week. With no days off. And if you ask they will always tell you there's no one to cover you 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible, terrible, no communication, just do, and do what we say

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, body aching and pain for driving so much hours with only one 30 minute break. If you try to rest on the side and stretch they will see you on the GPS and notify you about it

I had to work many times without a break because management forgot to cover a shift, worked many hours over time, not proper training, no supervisor on site (left to fix everything) 
HR -unprofessional, no empathy on their workers 
I wouldn’t recommend this job even if it’s temporary. 
From the moment you’re hired on it’s every man for themselves workers had to do all the training no supervisor ever came on site even if it was emergencies 

I have been with Citiguard Security for over a year now, I enjoy coming to work, I enjoy working with my co workers, its more of a family atmosphere.
I am respected and supported by management as well as the owners.
Its a fun atmosphere to be in.
I have been reviewed and given raises for my performance.
This is a great company for personal growth.
