So the question is what is it like to work at Marion security…….my answer to that is it is what YOU make of it. Everyone in that office wants you to succeed but if you can’t help yourself, that is not anyone’s fault but yours.
If YOU do not communicate you will not obtain answers 
If YOU do not make a make an organized station you will not succeed. 
If YOU  do not take the time to take notes and log names, and/or times you will not succeed the list goes on…

I just started my career at Marion and I have nothing but good things to say about the employees in the office.  Everyone in there is extremely quick with responses, and if they do not have an answer for you at the moment, they will get back to me at the end of the day with an answer. Long story short I was a union carpenter and ironworker, and I did just about everything in that field. I was not in long as an apprentice, but I saw it just enough to get out. I was just a number, and if I died or something happened, I would be replaced with no compensation.  when I started at Marion I felt like I was a part of some thing that cared about me. I plan to stay here for a long time, and I plan on to make every single house that I am a part of his clean as possible.

Friendly and supportive with 24/7 support

Working in a gatehouse providing access control to the community so as not to allow any unauthorized individuals onto the property. 
98% of the people are friendly and understanding.

Things worth knowing about this company:
1: Barely above minimum wage. And if they promote you, you’ll still make less than industry standards. 
If you need stability, this company is not for you. 
If you’re a slacker or (barely) functional alcoholic, this job may be right for you. In fact they will coddle and protect you because they’re always desperate for warm bodies. This is because the good workers get fed up with compensating for the slackers by being expected to work around the clock and eventually burn out, quit, get sick or die. Worked there for almost three years and couldn’t count how many people started and quit. There are reasons people quit; lots of them. Apply at your own risk. And resign yourself to low pay and no raises unless mandated by law. No benefits either. You’ve been warned. 

I enjoy working for Marion Security Agency and have done so off and on for over 5 years now. They have a good rapport with the facilities they are under contract with. The Management team is very fair and have treated me very well during my employment time with them  If I have an issue it is quickly answered and resolved. 

I highly recommend working for this professional company. People complain about pay, but the company must work with what the industry can command at the time. There is a management staff dedicated to always working at improving the benefits for its employees. I found management to be very professional and responsive to needs of the employees and clients. 

this was an easy job. They helped me get my license to be a guard. I did a gatehouse in Lakewood and it was an easy job if you follow the rules. Some vistors were nasty, but most were nice. OT was available all the time. They don't have great benefits, but steady work and lots of overtime if you want it. Naver had an issue with office staff, but they do ask you to work extra. i kept my work during the covid shutdown.

Pay can be a bit more but it’s easy people are very nice and work environment is phenomenal recruiting is easy recruiters are amazing ladies there care about you and admire great work ethic I would definitely recommend if you are high in integrity you are always honest you are respectful and responsible you should apply here it’s a great job to have with great people and opportunities also great references if you need them

I worked for this company for about three weeks before I quit. Marion sucks. The pay is horrible, barely above minimum wage. Even worse, they don't have direct deposit. They mail out their paychecks. If your paycheck doesn't arrive on time, they will literally tell you "the check is in the mail." They will then tell you to wait a week before contacting them again about your missing paycheck.

The work itself isn’t particularly hard, for me at least the hours are the hardest part, and at the site I’m at they currently aren’t flexible. Management can either be kind or mean depending on which of the two people answer the phone. Not naming names but if you hear a female voice, expect a negative call. Other than that, the uniforms are held together by string and prayer and it can be somewhat inconsistent to get them replaced.
