East Coast Protective Services

I worked for ecps and it was one of the worst experiences I've had with a job period. The only pro is the owner is a good guy but don't take control over his own company.  They want you to use your own equipment if you have any. The management do talk or share schedules or information among each each other, and fuse and fight about whose your supervisor and whose not or tell you not to listen to other supervisors. They will not pay you what you are supposed to make at particular job sites. They will only $10 instead of the $13-$15 you supposed to get paid. It's just to much to name. 

I applied, got interviewed, and was welcomed in to the company fast, but that's where the pros end. The company didn't have equipment ready to issue and didn't have any timeline when they would have it. I used my own gear that I use for security side company to work for them. I did not get paid until after leaving them and was given a cold shoulder on the way out. I would advice this company to open a forum for the employees to address their concerns and issues without being dismissed and reprimanded for it.

So far, so good. The lady that hired me is the best! I really feel like she will be the one who keeps me afloat when things get tough. Otherwise, I csnt wait to meet my co-workers and get to know the job better. I come from a different security company as a corporal security officer, so I already know what to expect.

I’ve worked with other security companies in the past and this security company is the only when I actually treats me like a person and seems like they care about my well-being. If there’s anything going on in my life that could jeopardize my job I feel comfortable enough to discuss it with management and know that they will help me find ways to work with my home life situation and still be able to work for them.

They do their best to give you a set work schedule whereas many security places do not. While they do this, sometimes there are those who get stuck only working 3-4 hours a day and coming short on the hours that were promised to them. They do pay their employees as much as they can from contracts, but no security guard is ever paid enough for putting their life on the line every day.

Easily to get a job. But it’s a lot of back stabbing going on. Sneaky people in the office and sergeants. Every site is not the best. You can never get a supervisor to return your call unless it’s the next day. Then they make it seem like your call wasn’t important.Good luck!

I have no complaints about this company. This is the best armed security company in NC they have good contracts and they really take care of there employee's.

Management was good. Issues with communication and other officers that were not trained caused problems. Wish they had different contracts with other locations 

Had no complaints with this position with this company. Always takes account of what your life is all about and will work with you to make a schedule that works

Do not work here. They use people to get thru their events with the idea of they will hire you but then don't. In addition to the checks were inaccurate the first time
