International Proactive Security (IPS)

This company pretty much is a hotel based establishment. The hotels they place you in are decent. But the company itself is horrible. I already had a main job, so they were pretty much a secondary income. In the beginning they will work with you according to your schedule and place you in a “permanent” spot. Then weeks later they will have you moving from site to site because people are always leaving or getting fired. Lack of consistency, managers will text you all types of the night saying it’s an emergency and demanding you to come in. When you don’t comply you will become a floater, and they will ignore your calls and request. I don't recommend this job as a second income because some guards don't respect time. Sometimes they will show up late. And this will leave you in a jam because you can't leave the site until a relief comes. If your main job is important, its only gonna leave you with 2 options, quit or walk off the site. This job is only good if it’s your only job and you wanna get your feet wet in the hotel industry...Other than that its a bunch of false promises, inconsistency and lack of professionalism in the management dept. Oh yeah there's plenty of over time available because of the revolving door of employees. At the end of the day, it was just a job. Honestly I wouldn't recommend this company to my worst enemy. There's plenty off companies far more better than this one. Good Luck.

A typical work day consists of signing guests in, showing them to there conference rooms and confirming appointments. 

I've learned that not organization is key. I've also learned that the corporate world is full of smart, intelligent and different people. 

Management, I have recently been disappointed with. I have felt harassed and bullied the past month with management , and this is my reasoning for my career search . 

My co workers are all men, I am the only female security guard. It has been an interesting, yet sometimes uncomfortable work place due to that. 

There has not been anything that I would consider a hard part of my job besides lately having to keep my head up while working for a bully, while I search to work else where. 

The most enjoyable part of my job is that I work in the Toys r us corporate building, but for IPS security and I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with the most amazing people. I have had the honor of knowing and holding conversations with the CEO of Toys r us, as well as all the other executives I have had the advantage of meeting and learning about. Working here at the the corporate building of toys r us has been my most enjoyable job since working since 15 years old.

A typical day working for IPS Security would consist of sitting at a desk and waiting for a bell to ring. You check the door to see who it is, if the person is relevant then you show him to your desk and you tell him to sign in. You ask him what he is there for and you direct him where he's suppose to go while unlocking any doors he may need to go through. Occasionally signatures are required and you call appropriate personnel.

This job especially during busy days requires you to move constantly while being aware, yet sociable, as well as having good verbal and written skills. In times where an emergency arises. The most enjoyable part of this job is that I get to meet many interesting people every day. The hardest part of this job is not to become to complacent or laid back due to some days being slow.

Co-workers are respectful and for the most part easy to work with. Management is fair to say the least. Only downside to this job is that there is no room for growth, yet it is a very good job if you are a student in college. Hours are flexible.

This company starts FLSD trainees at a dollar or two above minimum wage. Only 1 out of 5 FLSD companies in NYC will hire FLSD trainees so that's why they can pay so little. Most people that work there have 2 jobs where the first job gives them medical insurance and IPS is just for extra cash. Consequently, almost every shift I was relieved late and management could'nt care less. After passing the FLSD onsite and getting the full license, IPS bumps the salary up 2 dollars an hour but never pays medical. They also require creepy in-house hospitality classes that mean you have to work 16 hours a day during your mandatory training days. They actually have some very nice 5 star hotels they are in because they are the low cost provider comparatively.

My employment with the company was terminated after three years of service, based on unsubstantiated allegations. Throughout my tenure, I observed that management's priority was consistently focused on client satisfaction, which often came at the expense of internal communication and employee well-being. Furthermore, there was a noticeable lack of opportunity for professional advancement or salary increases, and promotion decisions did not appear to be based on professional qualifications or performance.

I do not recommend working for this company unless you enjoy being stressed.

I enjoy coming into work each and every day! I am surrounded by a very professional staff that challenges me to grow and become better both professionally and personably. My position at IPS Security gives me the opportunity to be surrounded by extraordinary people who come from very diverse industries. My favorite part about my position includes helping others reach their professional goals. Management is very supportive and responsive to my opinions and ideas. It is nice to work for a company that is open minded, supportive, organized, and has their employee's best interest at heart! I am excited to see where my career will take me at IPS. I hope to grow and use all my experiences to better the organization and the amazing employees within it.

I came into this company very optimistic. I worked by the book, did everything I had to do and beyond. All I wanted to do is work. I quit my jobs on a hand shake  I made with these people... hands down one of the worst decisions I've made to date..... I didnt claim their unemployment ....they treated me with no respect and cold shoulders ...... behind their fake attitude towards honor....I wouldnt work or hire these people......wish them the best They're success briings them but I dont wish them outstanding people...

I gave  2 weeks notice specifying my last day of employment  and thanking them for the opportunity . In route to job site on last day of employment 45 minutes before start of shift , supervisor called to inform me not to come in , I was replaced . VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!
