REVOLVING DOOR COMPANY--

As a Rover - IF YOU GET LOW AIR OR A NAIL/SCREW IN A TIRE they mandate that you TO EITHER TRY AND PLUG THE TIRE OR change the tires that are oversized and do not have even the correct tools to DO so with--
****************************************************************************
THEY DO NOT HAVE A ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE.
***************************************************************************
WE DROVE WITH BALD RIGHT FRONT TIRE FOR 3 MONTHS AND THE OTHER TIRES LEAKED CONSTANTLY.
Management is terrible--
****************************************************************************
Never allowed a day off unless you get it covered by another (site only) officer and then approved-----
*****************************************************************************
***They DO NOT have floaters to help cover other sites---very unprepared and overwhelmed to take on the clients they have. They keep the worst and get rid of anybody good...I asked to recruit new officers for our site from a top rated security school and was told that recruiting is a waste of time...Their method of using the internet works better..***

******************************************************************************
They do not like overtime and will refuse you any time off.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Poorly managed...bad example from those in-charge of supervision and management. I would never work for them again.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Double standards and "do as I say, not as I do." Many discrepancies regarding hours worked incluuding OT pay.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Do as I say not as I do. Lack of communication coming down, but they expect good communication from the field going up.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It is a security job, so it is mostly "observe and report" to protect the client and to keep PGS management informed. I was in an armed position at a cannabis cultivation and processing operation. We patrolled to facility on foot hourly, maintained access control, and also monitored an SVE camera system (surveillance video evidence).

What is the best part of working at the company?
Understanding managers that try to help you when you need time off even if it’s not paid. They have given me opportunities to advance and I would stay with them till retirement. If they just would come up with a PTO program that is fair and sick time.   

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I’ve been with the company going on a year and a half and still do not have any PTO or sick time. These time allotments are based on the contracts with the accounts that we service.  And then it’s only five days if I stay with my current account and accrue time, it will not be available till March 2026 two years and only five days PTO.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Positive…except the young officers that don’t care or respect management

Working in armed security means every day brings new challenges. A typical day involves patrolling assigned areas, monitoring surveillance equipment, and responding to alarms or incidents. 

From this role, you'll likely learn the importance of vigilance, communication, and quick decision-making under pressure.

Management varies, but effective leadership prioritizes safety, provides clear guidelines, and supports staff.

Workplace culture can be professional and team-oriented, with a strong emphasis on safety protocols and adherence to regulations.

The hardest part can be the unpredictability of situations and managing potentially dangerous confrontations.

The most enjoyable part is knowing you're making a tangible difference in maintaining safety and security for others.

I Started Out With PGS In 2014 And It Was Good, I've Gotten Hours Like Crazy, Check Came Out Good, Co-Workers Was Great, No Complaints, No Problems, I Even Got My First Car With PGS But Later Things Started To Change. I Was Removed  From A Post That Had Nothing To  Do With Me, When I'm Asked To Be Moved Somewhere Else They Say Theres Nothing At The Moment But Posting Hiring Ads On Craigslist Everyday. They're A Bunch Of Hypocrites And They Don't Care If You Quit Or Not. They Don't Care If You Have Bills Or Kids, Once You're Removed You'll Have No Choice But To Wait Until They Feel Like Giving You Another Post. They Have No Communication, When They Need You They'll Call, Text Or Leave A Voicemail But When You Need Them, They're Nowhere To Be Found.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They give you the hours they say they'll give you. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being told you're not reliable because you don't cover other employees shifts.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
At the location I was stationed at I never had contact with any one from the company besides the guard I relieved on the only day that was split shift. Management never checks on you!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
At the position I was posted at, the normal day was a 12 hour shift with no contact from the security company.

Platinum is a terrible company to work for, they are always hiring because they are inconsistent with peoples pay, you are always missing hours, they want you to stay regardless if nobody comes to their shift, certain properties require way too much from us security guards like they want you to be an extra Housekeeper to clean or an extra Pool Attendant to move and align chairs when they know that is not our job description, the finance people are always messing up peoples hours and sometimes pay you in parts. A lot of guards call out in any property and they want you to stay regardless so it can be easier for management to not look for anybody
