A typical day at consisted of bike-patrolling all rear lots of Hawaiian Marketplace property, checking in on clients of property, ensuring their safety, putting a halt any illegal drug activities. 

I learned the proper protocols to detain a suspect who may have been causing problems on property, the proper way to trespass someone, when to detain a suspect, to be more alert and assertive. 

Management worked to ensure that each shift/team followed all post orders, and had structure with filing away all reports. Also management was family oriented, and each employee as such.

My co-workers were very divided amongst shifts, i.e.: each shift was like different sections of a police station, graveyard being the elite, or more like the swat team. All other shifts were indifferent towards our shift because we got the job done, ending each month with the most trespasses and most suspects sent to jail. We also received the highest appreciation from the client.

The hardest part of the job was discerning when to detain a suspect and contact Las Vegas Metro, or knowing when a situation was serious enough for Metro's assistance.

The most enjoyable part of the job was working graveyard shift.

Management had unrealistic expectations from all of their employees.  They forced employees to work overtime (exceeding 40 hours a week) all the time.  They ran their business and treated all of their employees like they were in the military, complete with ranks given and orders to be followed and not questioned.  They expected all employees to adhere to a strict no leeway attendance policy that required employees to be on-time to the very second, but when it came to having to stay over because of additional work and/or reports having to be completed, due to unforeseen shift issues, they demanded that you stay to complete the work; and were more than happy to switch you over to minimum wage (for the time you stayed over) from your regular hourly salary.

The weekday day Dispatcher is what working nightmares are made of!  I had security guards complaining about her all the time and saying how previous employees had actually quit because of her.  She was a horrible witch of a person and an absolute moron who could not even compose a complete and concise sentence without any grammatical errors.  I honestly do not know how she got the job.  An affirmative action hire, maybe?

I learned a lot at the job and it was very active. You would deal with parking enforcement daily and deal with 5150s and a lot of homeless people. Co workers always had your back and had a very good team. The hardest part of the job was the overtime. The overtime seemed to keep going up. Found it odd having to work at a mall 60 hours a week. If your about to go to school or do anything that's going to improve your career to move up, don't work for this company. The supervisor at the time absolutely hated anyone who tried to better their life. If you could not work 60 plus hours a week, you had to go. The turn over rate was high due to this. You could not pick you off days and it was very common to work 12 days straight without getting a off day. Once you start getting burned out and try to explain or talk about the hours he will have a fit. You will be threatened of termination. They even falsify your W-2 paper work. If you claim 0 they put 6 on there. If you try to ask to see your W-2, they tell you don't worry about it. They make it very difficult to try and see it. I'm very glad to have left this company. H.R does not care that the supervisors steal lost and found items at the site, or prize items.

You will grow old and accomplish nothing here This company has a severe lack of management and when they do involve themselves. It's nothing but memos and group faults. As in, everyone gets blamed for one person's problems. There's no room for advancement here. The pay is very good, the benefits are not. Forget about having any good personal life here. Unless you are a single bachelor. They have a dispatch center from India. That will constantly call you even when you're doing your job perfectly. To complain over the smallest dumbest things. Every single site is horrible unless they're old people. Literally, the only saving grace for this company is the pay. But
Just count that they can keep the contract. Because they'll let you go in a heartbeat. This is one of those jobs where you can completely do nothing and get paid so much. But you will never advance you'll never work towards anything. It is a dead end job. Security in general in Vegas is a meat grinder. It'll spit you back up, and before you know it, you're old and haven't accomplished anything. It is great for getting into law enforcement but don't get trapped these people use you until your in the ground

Working at Global Security Concepts, at the Hawaiian Marketplace location in Las Vegas, NV was exhilarating. Every night something significant would happen and time would fly due to constant interaction with people.

Management was great and very capable of positive interactions with subordinates while maintaining professional behavior. My coworkers there were very tight-knit and would always look out for one another. Many of the individuals that worked for this post were prior service, so we already knew that type of brotherhood and utilized it in hairy situations.

Hardest part of the job would have to be working double shifts back to back with only 8 hours in between, over night shifts and switching shifts.

The company is very supportive of veterans and reserve/guard members.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Days seem to be average busy. if you know what your doing, it's not a problem. Smooth sailing id say. Typical interaction with guests and residents.

The woman who conducted the interview was nice and helpful but some of the main office staff is slightly rude and rush you and make you feel dumb for asking questions. Hiring process is also a bit chaotic and disorganized and it is very aparent that the office staff is overworked. If you listen quietly, you can hear some of the staff make fun of other employees, both on site and in the main office. Favoritism and cliques on site create drama which manifests into a subtle passive agressive work environment.

I worked at Global Security Concepts for over 2 years and my time there was fantastic. The hours are flexible, the management is every efficient and above all there is a positive culture around the workplace. The management really works with you as far as hours are concerned and also takes into consideration your working preferences. The employees at the office are super friendly and go out of their way to help you out. My co workers at Silverado Ranch were also very compatible and friendly in nature. The biggest perk this company offers is a chance to grow. If you work dilligently, Global security concepts are swifts to promote you . All in all it was a great experience t be a part of  Team GSC!
