Global Guardian

Global guardian has been the best job I have had yet. I was interviewed thoroughly but without intimidation and hired on as an operator. I have since then been promoted to a supervisor and can confidently say that the job has brought out the best in me. I love going to work and thoroughly enjoy the people I work with. The staff and management team that is in place treats you as if you are family here and will do all that they can do to ensure your success. They provide coffee and creamers daily as well as snacks weekly for each shift and will occasionally cater meals just because to show appreciation. All of the desk have the option to be moved into the standing position so that you are comfortable doing your job. They definitely offer opportunities for growth within the company as long as you prove that you are capable of showing up and doing your job and take initiative as well as overtime opportunities that are available for those to take advantage of when you need a little extra change in your pocket. Great medical insurance (BBS), great amount of PTO hours and yearly raises. I would recommend anyone interested in an office job or someone wanting to learn more about security to check out global guardian and what they have to offer. 

Global Guardian Management fails to support its employees, despite repeated concerns raised about on-site issues and a lack of accountability. Management consistently shows poor follow-through and communicates ineffectively. Supervisors rarely—if ever—visit the job sites, instead attempting to manage operations remotely from another state.

Many employees lack adequate experience, and schedules are often changed at the last minute without notice. Reimbursements are routinely delayed or denied unless employees push back. Communication regarding new assignments is disorganized, with critical details frequently missing.

Management also pressures staff to accept assignments regardless of personal availability, and has repeatedly made veiled threats—stating that "employees are required to work during the quarter period or will be released."

No air conditioning for 3rd shift , management says, that they cant afford it and no air conditioning on Sunday  Everything you do is monitored and they track you on tablets. The pay is about 3 dollars less than Allied Universal for the same work but better working conditions.  I was asked what gender I was , I am a very masculine man by management who is extremely paranoid and woke.  Most of management is in their 20's there is a lot room for growth in the company and the pay is decent if you live close to charlotte if not its questionable for the atmosphere.  When there was a lull in work I googled houses for sale and got pulled in the office for being unproffesional

Be weary of this company. The team in California is basically a who you know kind of detail - and if you don’t know anyone on the team you will not be hired. The skills and qualifications don’t matter much which is how people that wouldn’t normally get in.. do get in. 

Not much is expected of an agent other than to look at cameras. Leadership does not check in ever. Promises of growth and opportunities for a year - and all we’ve got is a changed schedule with less work days. Maybe they were wrong. 

HR has mishandled a lot of issues and they are finally switching to in house HR who will hopefully start taking care of matters appropriately. Leadership has allowed this mishandling as well which makes it tough to want to work for this company. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The primary benefit of working at the company is the financial unstability and inconsistent income it provides.
What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most challenging aspects include perceived favoritism, concerns about integrity among certain staff members, and instances of unprofessional behavior within management.
What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment can feel mentally taxing and, at times, lacks the supportive and negative culture that discourage employee satisfaction and growth.

Job started out great. Awesome management. Chill work environment. The company became very corporate, it turned into a cool kids club of those with power placing their friends/favorites in supervisory/managerial roles without any sort of vetting or true assessment on their qualities to be in those positions. The people who are actually the best employees get burnt out and when those individuals start expressing their frustrations, don’t expect to have a job for much longer. I would advise against working here.

A typical day at work required addressing and solving existing and new problems.  Since most problems concerned interface with other large corporations as well as considerations for international organization and coordination every day was a challenge, which I enjoyed. Since marketing of product involved dealing with government agencies in the Intelligence field security problems and exposure was at times difficult and new.  However, there was always a solution if you worked hard enough on solving the problem.

I felt welcomed as soon as I walked in my first day. All of the staff is amazing. There's never a dull moment working there, we have fun while working. There are so many different personalities but we all work together. Nobody is ever left out of anything, we all help each other out. I've never felt unsafe, unwanted, or disrespected by anybody that works there. The manager is also very helpful and understanding. If you're looking for a job with good people, good pay, and potential to move up in the company then this is where you belong.

The work environment is very unprofessional and heavily based on favoritism. Some supervisors and leads talk down to operators instead of treating them with respect. Training is inconsistent, and new employees often feel unprepared. Management tends to support people they personally know rather than being fair to everyone. Communication and leadership need major improvement, and the company could benefit from stronger accountability and better employee support.

If you are not part of the inner circle don’t bother you won’t last long. Very high turnover rate. Nobody there has your back. The rules change everyday without notice. 
Stare at a screen all day. Processing alarms one right after another mostly from the same locations over and over.  When you have a question about how to handle something you will never get the same answer twice even on the same alarm.
