Kates Security Services, Inc.

a typical work day isn't that bad at all. my co-workers are great people and we really take care of each other which is very important in security. The most enjoyable part of this job includes working with different people and meeting different people all day everyday. The hardest part of this job would be the detrimental effects its had on my personal life. I can never be relieved on time and the supervisor doesn't properly discipline any of the officers for reporting to their sites late. Thus causing me to miss doctors appointments and destroying my morale overall. Wondering can i make plans after work because i never know when i'm going to get off on time.

Lots standing and walking on this job. I worked with Chicago police, The Fire department and EMT. Swat even took over several times, due to our reports of activity. Learned to deal with some very difficult individuals. I was able to supervise and work with a team on arrest / Detentions. 
 
   There was competition among management that sometimes met with a hostile work environment.

   I learned how to keep very good records, notes on evidence, and to communicate with upper management. Once I trained an employee he or she could take that cross training and work any contract, and create their own team.

ive worked for this company for FIVE years & I get paid $10.00/hour im overworked and underpaid.its crazy because here it is im working hard as ever but I can barely pay my bills!! no overtime,no direct deposit (you have to wait in a line like its the aid office line) its just no room for advancement!! NONE! management is only concern with their accounts & not the well being of their officers. its horrible..try your very hardest to go to another company. its not worth it

Kates Security thus far has been a great place to work. I met the VP of the company on the day I was hired. He was genuine and professional, but not uptight or arrogant. Since being hired I have interacted with several different people from their administration, and was left with a very positive impression each time. In the Security industry, it is rare to have this kind of experience with management. Pay is well above average. Direct deposit or paper check. 
Room for advancement as well. 

I really appreciate working this job because it was my first security job. Working for Kate's Detective Agency has given me experience that I can carry on in my career and on my job. We were like a family and watched each other back when on the field. I liked mobile duty because it allowed m to get around fast. And assures total security on premises.

Poor company to work for late on checks hours be missing very unprofessional no direct deposit you have to cash your check at a certain currency exchange do to they have a bad payroll overall i wouldn't recommend this job if it was the last job on earth i feel sorry for the employees that makes this they first job or only job to pay they bills cause every time it's something with your money this it not reliable at all i quit the job walked off post supervisor is very disrespectful.
