Imperial Security, Inc.

First week I started working with them they had me bouncing around to different posts. Next week they gave me a set post as CRC in a different contract after I few months pass I requested a few days off to take care of some family business out of town. I had to take a extra day off because I had a another family emergency I had to go to court. I was call by the company telling me don’t report to your post report to the office when I came back in town I also told them I have paperwork showing Why I had to stay one more day they took me from my post and I was without a post til Monday when I was reporting back to my post Thursday. So they put me at a different post a post I really couldn’t work because I have kids to make sure was going to school I ask can I be moved but they gave me a run around saying we will move you soon so after a month pass by I ask is there a process I have to go through and transfer they told me yes so I ask to be transferred to a different state because I was in the process of moving I took another week off just so I can get my living  arrangements to move out of state. I told them I will return to my post on Monday when I  arrived to the posts  they had someone else at my post on the day of my return  not once did they called me to tell me not to return to the post report to the office  I called them The scheduling lie and said they tried to call me when I called him that day I requested off to ask is there anything I need to do  while I’m in the state he said no  so they relocated me again  to a post that was on hour from home  he text me a picture of my schedule to a different pose with the wrong directions to the location I sat outside from a different location for a hour and a half to wait on a  supervisor to lead me to the location just for one day. I will never in the life time tell a family member to work there or a friend because they pay they giving us not  Worth it at all I won’t work there if it was the only place hiring and I mean it.

Think of any and all bad things you can think of.
management is in such disarray,  operated by intimation, low pay, disfunction throughout the company, jobs ads are BS, everyone makes 8 to 10 hour unless its overtime.  AND YES you can work overtime,  as much as you want till you are burnt out and all is left is ashes. No paid vacation, never off on holidays. .....if you dont clock in you dont get paid. Its slavery or prostitution is really the better term. Company doesnt care about you or family...only about a body being in place so they get paid. Training is a laugh.  CORRUPTIVE business practices. 
Constant employee turnover at every level. Commander and/or Supervisor jobs are not supervision, ...you are a substitute guard when others dont show which is all day every day.Equipment is old, most fails, and those vehicles the supervisors drive are total pieces of unsafe/dangerous junk.
Benefits HAHA....get your own health insurance cause they offer nothing IF they even pay the bill they are deducting from your paycheck.!!

Horrible place .... I work here while constantly looking for better place to work. If you want to work long hours for food this is place for you.

The environment and people really make this place.  The pay is about average and the average pay is low these days. 

 The software, hardware, and equipment in general needs updating,  also a software I.D. standard needs to be set.  
 The people you are guarding are generally friendly across the board, but there are  some jerks that are totally indifferent to you. 
My co-workers were all nice people...The jerks were weeded out pretty early on, so my experience with co-workers and low end management was pleasant. 
Middle management was great too considering the resources they were given...They were friendly as well.  
I suspect that the problems were with upper management not allowing enough pay to go to the security guards and supervisors making H.R.'s job more difficult resulting in the trickle down effect. 
Pay should be about $3.00 more per hour for everyone. 
The methodology and strategy for keeping the location secure and breech free needs to be re-done entirely with no exceptions to the rule! Managers and executives included! 
Keep steady expectations and you will do fine.

My job as a security officer consisted of securing a closed environment, I completed truck, contractor, and employee logs on a daily basis. The logs were used to keep a count on who comes in and out the energy plant. I did hourly patrols in a Imperial Security company vehical. I also gave safety orientations to new people who wanted to enter the energy plant. After giving them the safety orientation,I had them sign a paper that stated that they understood what they read. After that I enter their name, company, and date of their safety orientation onto a excel spread sheet. Overall the job taught me alot about security. The only issue I had was with the management. They were very unorganized. All of the co-worker were great individuals. The hardest part of the job was just trying to remember the employees names for greeting purposes. The most enjoyable part of my job when I heard good criticism from the supervisers. They stated that I was a hard worker and that I was doing a great job. I left the job on good terms.

I was moved from being a full time employee to "on call" when I slightly injured my knee & was forced to stay home & not work due to the slight injury. When I was told that I could come back to work, a week later mind you (that I did not ask for) they stationed me in a position that I had not been trained in at all. I worked that station, did my job swinging it by the seat of my pants. 

I was called that evening to be told I didn't have to come into work the next day & report on that Friday. Ok, sure...not like I don't need the 40 hrs I was originally scheduled for to feed my child o.O. Came in on that Friday & they only worked me for ONE HOUR! ONE HOUR! 

Waste of time, waste of gas, management was clueless on how screwed up the new scheduling guy was...my 6 yr old could have done the job better than that schmuck >_<. 

The other officers were personable & easy to get along with, but half the management ran around like chickens with their heads cut off unfortunately.

This company has very little care for its employees or the clients in which it is paid to provide service to. I worked there for a long period without a license due to getting some story of why my training was always being postponed. I later found out that it is a felony to work without a license and I left this company. I have nothing personal against anyone. In fact, I did enjoy working with a lot of my coworkers. However, the company itself does not provide adequate training or equipment to do the job properly. I was removed from my 40 hour post to work a 36 hour post due to some idiot getting physically removed from that post. Instead of firing him, they gave him my post because it was more secluded.

I was in charge of up to 50 officers in this Cell phone plant. I trained them all for their posts and evaluated them on what they would be good at. We had up to 4500 employees at this building and we as Security had to make sure that everyone was playing by the rules. We had 7 Metal detectors as this building was a Metal free zone past the metal detectors. I learned how to deal with people's reactions with all scenario's. There was not a lot of supportive management. I wasn't getting paid what I was told, when I  was promoted to Sargent. I really enjoyed working with my co-workers. The hardest part of the job was when I had to discipline one of my Officers for not doing the right thing or not following the stated Rules. The most enjoyable part of the Job is when everyone follows the Rules at hand and everything runs like Clockwork!

Usual work day was boring. On the job had so many restrictions it was difficult to see how anything got done, You had very little authority, most people would merely put up with you. I did learn rudimentery use of the computer. My boss was great. He and I got along quite well. My co-workers were all very easy to get along with.The hardest part of the job was the never ending boredom. If it wasn't for the computer and books to read I would have left a lot earlier. The best part of the job was that we were paid once a week where most companies pay every two weeks. I worked in Columbia, SC and Management was in Memphis, Tn. Out of sight, out of mind.I condoned Imperial because at my age and being retired the pay here was suplemental otherwise I would have been long gone.

Many people quitting this airport job, because management don’t care about employees a bit, there are absolutely no benefits, schedule is a joke, they literally don’t schedule employees to work, forcing them to quit, and keeping 
only few giving them survival amounts of hrs, their employees frequently fight on the job, use profanity language, and supervisor is non existent, I would highly recommend look somewhere else for steady employment,   job  besically is checking parking lots, However don’t be surprised to be yelled or harassed for minor things by visitors, like I said management is extremely unreliable and keep good things for their favorites including scheduling.

On a typical day in the office, you will see face and personalities from all walks of life, never a dull moment,
I learned to get my work done as soon possible and learn other departments and other people's role in the company as well as I could. 
Management, in some departments were helpful, knowledgeable and believed in your growth while others could careless and would attempt to throw you under the bus tp save their hide.  ...Watch your back, cross your "t" and dot your "I".
Pretty laid back but fast paced 

Knowing the difference between "Smiles"

Getting to know certain people and creating a team that will build each other.
