What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part about working with the company is the mere impact that one can make while holding a leadership role. The influence one can have by being mentoring and providing guidance to those performing the tasks. With that being said, nothing about the company is hood on any level. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part about working for a company like Defense Int. is not knowing whether your paycheck will clear, be held or flat out be dismissed due to poor payroll management. There are other factors but this being the biggest one. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture can be positive from time to time and when you’ve built up brought rapport with those you work with the environment can be quite fun.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Constantly being micromanaged, or as they would describe it, macro managed when performing normal duties. Poor leadership structure leads to poor communication and constant issues. Management has a good ol boys network type of culture, which causes for those with little to no management experience to be promoted or to have an overall opinion.

Poor management. Unfair practices. No employee support. There is absolutely no job security. Company in charge of your finances essentially. If they request you to work an extra shift, or to come in on YOUR off day AND YOU DECLINE (which is your legal right to do so)... You get removed from the schedule permanently or for an undetermined timeframe and management refuses to take ANY employee calls. Corporate is jusy as bad. They never know whats going on or pretend to not know. Pay is ALWAYS incorrect. Months and months before its rectified. People from 2018 still waiting on back pay. Someone passes away in your family, good luck taking off. They may give you 1 day but the LEGAL 3 day bereavement is void. They take you off schedule permanently. Summary: Say no = You're Fired!!... Follow the rules= You're still fired! Company does what THEY WANT to do with you WHEN THEY want to. To much control over your life.

What is the best part of working at the company?
As someone that has worked for this company in the past I can confirm that they make their own employees leave high ratings to cover up all their real poor ratings. I cant be making this up. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Getting paid because checks always bounce anyway

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic and joke. Nothing is professional with this company whatsoever. Company can never cover their own funds and the checks never get cleared on time. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Terrible and unprofessional. You will be asked to work doubles everyday because no one is reliable.

I've worked for Defense for almost 4 years now and I've had a great experience, from initially meeting upper management to meeting and working side by side with ownership. I begin working as a Field Supervisor promoted to Account Manager and so on.
I dedicate my time to climb the ladder as high as I can anywhere I go, working for Defense has given me the opportunity to grow and become more versatile in the security industry, working with all the people that have been a part of my time at the organization has given me far more positive experience, it is always good to have friends and alliances for future endeavors but I'm a loyal employee and I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this great company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
You’re not so micro-managed and they do give a level of trust that you do your job without constant supervision. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Getting paid..sometimes the checks don’t come on time(the day you’re suppose to get paid). A lot of times, because you get paper checks….. they are left for you to pick up at different locations; locations you don’t even work at because the person dropping the checks off is too lazy to come to your locations like they SHOULD!! 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Idk I worked by myself. I didn’t get a sense of culture



"My experience with this company was disappointing, specifically regarding management and payroll. There were consistent issues with receiving compensation on time, and the payroll process was very difficult to navigate.

The company lacks a dedicated HR department, making it nearly impossible to resolve administrative concerns. Communication is a major hurdle, as the only point of contact is often unresponsive. I would advise prospective employees to be cautious and thoroughly research the company’s financial reliability before applying."

You’ll be lucky to receive your check on time or even at all. They don’t tax their paychecks it’s just a handwritten check so it gives them an excuse on why your check isn’t being received. How do you “send a check out on Wednesday for it to come on Friday” and it comes a week late or not at all?! Then they have the nerve to call your phone asking to work overtime. They’ll hire you then not pay, once you leave they hire another guard rinse wash and repeat. DO NOT WORK HERE UNLESS YOU LIKE WORKING FOR FREE.
