Doyle Security Services Inc.

I've been working for DSS for the last 8 months and they've been one of the most lax and friendly companies I've worked for in my security endeavors. If you take some overtime and don't call out for stupid reasons, management is on your side which is a change from other companies where bosses can be rude to even good workers. Upper management listens and recognizies you when your looking to grow and even offer to pay for courses and testing if you were to get your f-01 - 04 and f-80's (including the onsite!). 
Most of the sites are seating and patrol posts which is also a change from most companies as they are one of the few who don't scold workers for being comfortable and performing well at the same time. Overtime is ALWAYS avaliable and they are not afraid to pay it out. Weekly pay and uniforms were provided upon hiring which has made my experience even more enjoyable since I started. Like all companies there are of course cons to go with any pro list. The pay can definitely be better and the issue with pay is that most of there sites haven't re-negotiated the contracts yet. The other issue is that if decide to work as a floater you have the possibility of getting stuck for a double at a site, which shouldn't be a surprise in this industry. You will also get called constantly for work/overtime and have a choice on wherher to take it or not. Some client managers view us as vendors rather than partners and can create highly unrealistic expectations and annoyance in general. Aside from what I listed I enjoy working for DSS as I feel I am recognized and respected for my efforts from coworkers and management. I wish there was a referral bonus program as I would recommend to all my friends to come work for DSS. 

If you can get your Fireguards then you are hired. Okay pay,just management wont back you up if there is a heresay compliant from a client. So basically if a client or one of their reps complain about you even when its a petty one then you are basicaly fired from the company because they will remove you from the account and they don't want you to explain yourself to save your rep with thr company and they wont pull a finger to defend you. If you ever get into that situation then its better to just make a resignation letter and return your uniform and tell them to send your last check to your house.The management have a issue with people calling out especially on their birthday and holidays and they will put a target on your back and when they get a petty compliant from a client then they will use that as a excuse to remove the guard from the site and fire the guard from the company knowing that the real reason was that the guard was calling out on the days they are needed the most and they cant legally fire a guard because that guard was calling out on holidays, they get around it ie.retaliation. Its okay to make some quick money because they pay Weekly,but if you want to grow, you rather just work for another company with more accounts and better  company direction because DSS is a backbone-less company that only cares about their clients over their guards and makes decisions on their personal political adgendas.

Professional, friendly management. I worked as a mobile security guard. Base pay was quite minimal, but there is basically no real physical labor as far as the job itself is concerned. The only downside is dealing with irate customers/pedestrians that are entitled or otherwise feel the need to test your patience only because they see you are a guard. Depending on your post, you can either be completely alone, or end up having to deal with lots of people. If the former is what you prefer, I'd suggest making it known, or not taking shifts that involve a ton of people. There are always shifts that need covering, but you may need to pick them up at odd hours or at some distance from your home. 
Understand your post, your responsibilities, and just be diligent, and you can't go wrong.
Overall, I had a good experience and training with Doyle and would recommend any entry level or seasoned guards consider this employer.

I worked there about a month, when I went for initial interview I told HR several times I was having issues with my vehicle.. I started an 11-7 shift sun-thur. Having to take the bus in Suffolk county I would up getting to work 3 hours early for my shift everyday but couldn't make it at all on Sundays....so when the weathet is bad and the buses don't run I cant make the 3 hour trip on buses ....and instead of supervisor switching a couple of things around so that I can not lose a whole day( sunday) it was an issue....not that other employees were late for every shift they worked or that some even fell asleep or did a poor job that was OK....but it wasn't OK that I took buses.... And the ones who did a poor job as floaters got paid more than permanent site guards....

what I've noticed was working with majority of these security companies throughout NY NO GOOD, there upper management is never any good just a bunch of people that makes salary & still complain about there pay like we getting any more than already, NO ROOM FOR ADVANCEMENT & that is a fact I worked for a few companies within my last 2 yrs doing security and all these companies are the same we are just a (Body Count In Rotation) wherever, whenever they need they put us smh its ashame you guys want to make a career out of security sad to say but we gotta work retail Loss prevention pays more, more benefits more pros than cons I tell u that much GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Working for a company where the Corporate Account Manager and Operation Management show a blatant disregard for employees' well-being and the work environment can be draining and demoralizing. The continuous overtime work till employees fall asleep, lack of supervision or support from Account Managers, low pay relative to the workload, and outdated technology all contribute to making the atmosphere unprofessional, hostile, and unproductive. The high employee turnover rate reflects the dissatisfaction and burnout rampant in such an environment. Don't waste your precious life and time in a place that doesn't value you or provide a conducive work setting - your skills and energy are better utilized elsewhere.

If you dont mind being called in on your days off and doing doubles then its okay security job. You want to call out they got a 24 hour hotline and they barley pick up. So you have to call your manger and then he gets an attitude regardless of the reason you called out to begin with. Barley get an lunch break. On top of that if your shift is on a holiday they expect you to come in because its a 24hr post. Plus your working for Trump buildings if your in Manhattan but HR dont tell you that when your doing the process.

The turnover rate is so high there. When I started it was for day shift. Training was good it took about 2 weeks. Then they switched me to night shift without telling me. I told them about a vacation I was taking before I got hired there. They said it was no problem. Vacation time came and they didn’t want to give me the time off. I did trade days with other employees and got everything figured out and I submitted it to the supervisors and management. They then sent me an email on accident talking bad about me calling me a stupid bi*** and they wonder why they can’t keep employees. They won’t even allow employees to have 2 days off in a row ever. 

I start day by signing into the given app for timesheet keeping. I work at residential building so I need to mantain the tenants coming in and out of building and question who don’t belong get the verified so they can go where they need too. I learned to multitask even smoother so everyone gets to where they need to be whether it be food deliveries or contractors serving the building plus help the elderly with opening the doors as they come in. I work in friendly environment best part of my job is the people I create a secure environment safe place to be in.

I was hired with Doyle Security in 2015 and I am still working with this company. I work as a Security Guard and I have just received notice that they are advancing me to Supervisor in the next week. 
I have never been with a security company that took note of my work ethic for promotion this fast.  At all the other security companies I have worked for, I was just a number. If you put int he right attitude and show your dedication to the company you can be looking at a nice promotion. Love this company and I hope to be working with Doyle Security in the future.
