Inner Parish Security Corporation

Working for inner parish for me was ok at first. Some of the people were friendly and willing to help. Others were not so friendly and kept up mess. Others were nosey and always felt like they had a right or a reason to concern themselves with you and your personal business. Hours in the begining was 5 days a week with 2 days off which was ok because that makes it 40 hours a week with 2 off days. Pay rate was a small 10 bucks an hour and I say small because security guards are trained and state certified so therefore with certification should come a better pay rate. But it paid every Friday and most jobs are every two weeks. 
I worked an overnight graveyard shift. Which means that when I got off work I slept most of the day away due to being an overnight worker and couldn't have very much time to maintain any of my private business or personal affairs. Long story shorter, as I continued working there for just about 6 months, I noticed more and more employees started to resign, quit, walk out, etc. And due to the company having issues with maintaining the proper staffing the company began calling the remainder of employees in to fill shifts of those who walked out. Thats right dumped the extra workload on the rest of us which caused us to have to lose one of our 2 off daysand work even harder. So instead of working 5 days a week, we all had to work 6 days a week with only 1 off day. Need I remind you that this company did not offer any benefits.  And if they did then that 300 a week for full time 40 hours was not enough to buy insurance, pay for your household,  your car note, your car insurance, buy food, pay for gas to get back and forth where you need to go, etc. Unless you broke your back and did double shifts,  sacrifice your off days, or work 7 days a week to make ends meet in which I was not willing to do because I was in school. This company would not work around school schedules by reducing hours so that you can have enough time for school, work, and rest etc. And I was not willing to give up my education just to work my but off as a security guard with no incentives, pay raise, benefits, or growth opportunity to move up...when I worked at this company the only thing I saw was the words" JUST A JOB"! A place to go to make a small paycheckso that you can say that you are employed and not a freeloader...I never saw a carreer opportunity non whatsoever at...All in all, I'd say: this company wants to work the mess out of you and pay you the least amount of money possible. My suggestion is work there until you get on your feet and GET OUT! 

The direct supervisor is high all the time. He can't make it through the site training without forgetting what he is there for. This has been an issue ALL of the guards deal with. The general supervisor is a misogynist who has no place in a buisness like this. They keep loosing contracts left and right because the guards that do nothing are rewarded by the pot smoking supervisor when he likes them. They keep guards on staff who would have been fired by any other reputable company. They lay you off after labor day but don't tell you it's a temporary job when they hire you. The main lady in the office is a nut case. She is the root of the problem because she protects the two bafoons who are digging the IPSC grave in OB.  I have seen text messages from her that would have been immediate signs of instability. For some reason one of the higher ups has her under his arms and believes her when she pushes blame onto everyone else. If someone in the main office cares even a little they should come out and ask the guards what they think. The guards are the company and yet the guards mean nothing to these people. They have been severely unethical. Also did I mention zero covid19 help? Nothing to sterilize the work area... We come in contact with people and surfaces daily... We have zero help with this through IPSC. The inconsistency and a extreme lack of competency make this my worst job in history. You only need one day on this job to hear how horrible this company has been to its employees. They have numerous ethical violations and nobody seems to care. I don't believe it's ipsc as a whole but OB. Then again if they aren't listening to anyone then yes it's the company as a whole

Pros: There is a lot of variation so you don't get bored easily. Managers, higher-ups, and long-time employees are genuine, nice people who want you to do well and be happy there. 
Cons:
Much of the job in dispatch is dealing with unpleasant people and telling people you can't help them. Clients and employees are often very upset and will take it out on you. Procedures are lengthy, varied, and change frequently so it can be difficult to keep up with what you need to do in every situation. Training between employees is inconsistent and you can go months making the same mistakes without being corrected if no one tells you/notices. There is a high rate of turnover both in dispatch and guard side. Management does not want to lose employees who know the system well because it takes a very long time to become proficient. Because of this they will keep employees who continually slack off or cause more work for their coworkers. Many higher-ups make decisions without really understanding what it's like to work in dispatch. The amount/intensity of work varies greatly based in the time of day, day of the week, and time of year. Days are always pretty busy. Evenings are very busy during the summer. Weekends are dead unless it's summer. Forget about raises or moving up in the company. If you are a dependable, good employee, they will expect more of you than your coworkers. Once they tried to give me a "promotion" that came with more work with far more drastic consequences for messing up and no additional pay. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Very overworked had to work in between Lake Charles and Lafayette area can't keep any other security officers because they refuse to give raises to those guards to keep people plus my pay wasn't what it should have been they make promises that they don't keep so I left there and went to a way better company

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The hours you have to put in because your short-staffed because they will not pay enough for the guards to want to stay

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Kind of rough dealing with casino managers plus the customers that come in there that rent and rave claimed that day or VIPs but yet they're nothing but drug heads and the manager will not let you ban them because that's their customer that's their income and when you have problems corporate office doesn't do anything about them corporate refuses to give raises to the other guards for you to be able to keep stuff

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
18 plus hours sometimes over 24 hours a day because you are so unstaffed due to the fact that they will not give raises for the other staff members to stay

This job is decent, your job will either be handing out passes at the front of a neighborhood or making sure doors are locked and people are not being loud at a resort. (at least the area I work)

Pay is low for my area and not enough to really live on, you will work your butt off and it always seems like the company is under staffed which means you will get phone calls asking to fill in on a shift.

People randomly quit and therefore the rest of the crew has to work 10-12 hour shifts or even work a double "16hour". The company doesnt like anyone getting over time but if you prove to be a good employee they will give it to you.

Lets face it, its a security job nothing more nothing less. management where i live and work seems to be fine, always answers my phone calls or calls back within an hour or two.

No benefits really no PTO"Paid Time Off". I'm not sure this could be a career, most employees in my area work 2-3 jobs.  (pay isnt terrible but not great either)

You need to be able to stand/walk for up to 12 hours a day and need to be able to smile and speak with people throughout your shift.

This company is the worst that I have ever worked. They are constantly having New Management because they treat their management the worst. They make field supervisors work 24 hours on a post to keep their position. As a field supervisor you will always work for pennies. Someone calls in and you can't find no one one to work it you have to go work it. I have worked 3 shifts straight so that is a 24 hours that I worked. The company don't care how many hours you put in as long that someone is on post. As a field supervisor  you are on salary anything over the 24 hours at required that you have to work your working it for free.i worked for this company for over 2 years. It got to were you got to work u had to call the site captain and let them know you were @ work. Never had a job that I had to call and tell them I was @ work. Really treat their works like kids. The company lies to you ever chance it gets. U work FEMA for them they don't pay per diem or mileage when you drive hour or more. If they pay for a  Hotel then they will turn around and take the money out of your check to pay for the hotel. This is by far the worst security company ever. Run away don't work for this company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
We drove a truck in a parking lot all day. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
ALL the phone calls! Are you moving, where are you? They have trackers on the trucks and don't work very well. Also they have ONE person over nearly all the post! So sometimes he would get confused about the post. Thinking we were doing things we weren't. Yet would gripe at us for the other post wrongs. Also unhinged angry should NOT be in security nor customer service employees. One in particular!! This one threatened customer, myself other guards and ever customers! Yet nothing was done until treating the manager. I would not go back.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture/environment? You work by yourself all day. There is none. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Boring, my post was. Get in the truck in a small parking lot and don't stop moving all day! OR, you'll get a phone call from the manager. Asking, why aren't you moving? I would put up to 40 miles a day on that truck! Thats 40 miles, IN A SMALL PARKING LOT! Yet I would still get calls.

I recently worked for IPSC as a security officer, and unfortunately, my experience was not as positive as I had hoped. Here are the pros and cons from my experience.

Pros:

Overtime available
Cons:

Lack of clear communication from management regarding shift schedules and responsibilities
Inconsistent training and support for new hires
Limited opportunities for advancement or career development within the company
Poorly managed scheduling system leading to frequent scheduling errors and last-minute changes
Posts left open
Low Paying Sites
Insufficient staffing levels leading to high workload and fatigue among security officers
Inadequate responses to employee concerns and grievances
Overall, while IPSC offers the benefit of overtime, the overall work environment and management practices leave much to be desired. There is a young man, who is my regional manager, who is very efficient with managing my needs. I have not been able to reach him for a while. I would recommend to all potential employees that they carefully consider these factors before accepting a position with this company.

The job is pretty simple. Easy to understand and easy to do. For me it is anyway since I've been doing security related work and was formerly affiliated with law enforcement and a few paramilitary organizations before getting hired on. The job is pretty straightforward when it comes to patrolling the parking lot and keeping individuals from staying overnight or loitering and so forth. What's difficult is finding security officers who can show up on time and work their full shift without calling out or finding excuses as to why they can't work. I have been working this one particular site for nearly 7 months now and I have worked more overtime than any officer who has worked prior to me getting hired. I enjoy the fact that my manager knows he can rely on me and I am always happy to help this site when it needs it. I'm always on time and willing to help when it is needed.

This job is honestly one of the worst I have ever had. The pay is $9-$10 an hour for an armed guard. You don’t get any advantages while here. No PTO, no holiday pay and your request will usually be denied. And holidays and weekends are mandatory. Many places you work will be outdated and you will be alone for 8-12 hours in various conditions with no working ac or heaters so bring equipment for the entire day. You can’t leave your site until your relief comes in. Sometimes you will be there hours after time because there is no one scheduled after you. Your managers ALWAYS have attitudes and really have no care for you as a person or employee your job is to simply fill a position. But if you are looking for a low stress job this will be perfect for you as most positions you are just monitoring cameras or gates.i think this would be a good job for those who are just beginning work with security as you can get the basic knowledge and training but I would not recommend staying here long term.
