KENT

I would never talk foully about a job unless I felt the need to warn people. The job itself is straightforward - you're an on call doorman.  You're sent to various locations throughout the city at various times, including overnight shifts. You're not always warned about upcoming shifts until a couple of hours before it begins, and if it does not work with your schedule that day, you're sometimes penalized for its since you technically said you had 'open availability,' which means, to KENT, you have to be available for work every day, 24/7. The pay is not the same for everyone and management does not speak to you directly, it is always through a text message, even for dire issues such as last minute call outs and a change in job location for the day. I, personally, had a difficult time working with this company due to the lack of professionalism and work - life balance.

Kent is an owner driven company. The less the employees are paid the more money he makes to buy more planes. They pay horrible, have ridiculous rules (no tatts, piercings, pass a hair follicle drug test) that are completely outdated, and work you to death. Time off is frowned upon. One is lucky to get days off. Employees constantly call in or simply stop showing up because the pay and environment is horrible. Managers micromanage and have impossible expectations. If one or two employees are on duty, they are expected to keep the lines below 2-3 customers AND keep the store fronted, stocked, faced, cleaned inside & out. Things it's impossible to do with 1 or 2 people on duty. One can't keep lines down and do all that cleaning and stocking. Managers make decent money but work 24/7. Cashiers make $8-$10/hr. Who can live on that??

I looked forward coming to work everyday my team mates made that possible. If there was a rush job we would all pull together and make it happen it was great. When I have a job I do it to the best of my ability and I always move forward there are always pros and cons with every job I figure out how to get thru what ever come's my way. The really best part is when we would all get together for a pot luck could sit around eat and talk.

Every day was an experience customer had their own way of behaving. 
The majority of the customer had a smile and the ones that didn't I found a way to get them a smile.
All type of ethnicity customer visit us every day.
Hardest part of the job was when the gas pumps where down do to maintenance and customer will be very upset.
 Getting a smile from the customer that where not having a good day.

I got write up for not taking my lunch by 5 hour it was 9;02 had to take it by 9;00 over all it a good first security job need pay the staff more companies small  growing 

managers and coworkers were ok 
Some leads think they are better than everybody else one lead in particular don't care to work with anymore made comments about other emplyoees and wasn't reprimanded got away with downgrading other people. I notified  management and they didn't do anything about it.

enjoyed working with individuals and many employees were amazing to work with. most employees were untrained and all of us were forced to work overtime upwards of 80 hours per week.

On a daily asis I managed the front office, payroll, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Invoice reconciliation. Scheduled the front office staff. Assisted the Owner in the day to day operations.

I enjoy have enjoyed my time working with this company. I’ve always had the support I need from all aspects. Kent goes above and beyond to take care of its employees and that really shows. This company values family and honest and that is very important to me. 

I learned how to be a excellent guard by following my state policy and regulations.I learned how to teach my self and how to overcome  and do my job.
