EPIC SECURITY

This is NOT a safe haven for professionals. This is serious company that is a fine example of what happens when things go down hill. Management has ruined this company, they steal all the money from sites and pay the guards dirt. You will make $7.25 per hour working in some interesting places and you will be taxed heavily! 

I started in December 2012, I came here for sponsorship for my firearm so I could work armed and have experience. If you're looking for that, it's fine. They'll work with you. On the other hand, if you're here for a job, you'll get hired. But you'll be treated like dirt and paid with dirt. The armed guards make $10 an hour. Supervisors get the same. Fire guards make $7.50 per hour and security guards make $7.25 per hour. No more, no less... You can make more money at McDonalds or working in some KFC... 

Don't come here for work. It's not a school, it's not a game. It's a place of work for older people and criminals who need jobs. Young boys and girls come here from their schools to find a job. They leave as fast as they walk in thru the door. 

Epic Security is not for you. Apply to Summit Security or Cambridge  Security. And pay NO ONE any money to help you find a job.

Worst 1st security company ever. They wait til the last minutes of your shift to inform you no one will show up or they tell you they are "running late" and possibly never show up. I was once 30 minutes late and they held my check and I got written up. I understand the write up but holding someone's money? I don't think that's right. I've one person arrive 2 hours late, another was initially "running late" after 3 hours I was told she wasn't answering her phone so now I'm forced to stay after I explained I had somewhere important to be, I was told "Oh that's great you work security and you have some place to be". Management is sarcastically SUPER rude. To be honest when I first applied I thought it would have been a great company but looks are deceiving. Not only that they want to be rude to you for only $9.50 (depending on your permanent site). If you just only want Security experience then I say take your chances otherwise I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANY FRIEND!

Bottom line. Incident reports are not considered important to the company if said incident happens to the guard done by a client or by another guard on post. This company plays nice with the client due to the fact that the client is the money and the guard just serves the client but is willing to ignore the guards please for help and resolution on situations where respect is needed. There is no union with this company that's why they get away with a lot and are not held accountable. A truly terrible agency.

Maintained security for various New York and New Jersey 
sites.  They were mostly construction sites, retail stores, Banks.
I learned how to deal with different sorts of clients in various
businesses.  Management was stern but fair and my co-workers,
depending on the site could be good to work with or incompetent.
The hardest part of the job were the long hours and dealing with
different personalities and the various rules and regulations at 
each site.  The best part was moving from site to site.

Working for Epic Security allows you to revisit Military life. Most of the employees were veterans of some service. A typical day was getting to work on time, interacting with store Managers, Site Supervisors, monitoring CCTV cameras and preventing store  theft. Management was always concerned about onsite performance and impression of Security Officers from their Clients. When a client compliments a security Officer, he is doing well on the job.

I worked with Epic Security for 6 months (2011-2012)and it was the worst.  They pay you $7.25 an hours and certain Fireguard sites i got $8.50. Management is very rude and the hours are ridiculous for females. They wait until its time to clock out to tell you that you have to stay because there is no one to relieve you and they dont like to pay overtime.  They are still owing me for my overtime.  I do not recommend this company to anyone that has bills to pay. They always find a way to short pay you when you work overtime.

When I first started working for Epic the job was ok. Although the travel  distance to my worksite was long it was a good place to work at. they served free meals at the cafeteria. Then a week or so passed by and for a certain reason they made the employees stop eating for free at the cafeteria. The uniform they gave me was bad, they could've gave me a better looking uniform.

Rude and very nasty environment. they have a terrible system, they yell and curse out all employees for the littlest of things, they get mad at you when they make a mistake, they talk very nasty to all their guards, they will drive to a far location and tell you to find your way home. JUST DONT DO IT. LET THEM LOSE BUSINESS, all it is, is a bunch of angry "retired" cops and military personal.  

i work productively at the workplace i enjoyed working with others as well i had to sit at the office everyday to get job asignments
i learned to protect and serve the communitys and to help me to start my own company my co-workers were good canadiates as well
as myself getting wrong addresses to the sites and misunderstandings as well is going to work and telling yourself
that you have a job to attend to.
