Psa-Security

If you’re thinking about working at PSA Security Network, don’t. The environment is stressful, frustrating, and feels like walking on eggshells every day.

Working under Amanda Vasquez was one of the worst professional experiences I’ve had. The micromanagement is extreme—everything gets criticized, no matter what. Expectations are unclear, yet you’re still expected to meet constantly shifting standards.

Even basic interaction with coworkers feels discouraged, creating a tense, silent atmosphere where you feel watched and judged. There’s no real support, no teamwork, and feedback is almost always negative rather than helpful.

Accountability feels one-sided, and there’s little effort to listen or support employees. It creates a culture where people feel disposable instead of valued.

Losing this job turned out to be a blessing. If you value respect and a healthy work environment, look elsewhere.

A great team to work with. Every person I have encountered that works for PSA (on the ground and management) has been a pleasure to work with. In larger settings, it really shows how professional and caring they are. When I’m large groups, supervisors will come to your post MULTIPLE times a night (minimum of 3) to check on you and ask if you need anything like a water or a break. Every guard is polite but firm and when the action hits, the team is ready to go. Personally, I enjoy these guys. Pay is weekly just delayed 3 weeks from your shift most likely because the bars have to confirm their hours to send to PSA who then confirms and  authorizes their hours. Would highly recommend if you think you are physically fit to stand for long hours and mentally fit to take abuse. Will continue working with PSA for the foreseeable future. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
id say nothing. they don’t give many hours, they pay minimum wage. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
everything, they pay 3 weeks ahead of pay schedule, it’s kinda weird. they don’t offer direct deposit but won’t release pay to some guards until they return their uniforms which is so stressful for employees who live far. if they don’t return shirts they’ll charge $45 per shirt that they reuse employee after employee. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
misleading, fake, fraudulent, overall negative environment. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
i’m a dispatcher so just like basic dispatcher duties

This company would have gotten a 4 star if they would just pay their employees. I have been working there for over a month and have not seen a single paycheck. Whenever you ask when your going to get paid, their reply is “payroll is behind, contact them.” When you contact payroll you don’t even get an email back from them. You have to keep working without knowing when your actually going to ever see a paycheck. If you want to actually receive a paycheck for your time and work and to pay your bills on time, don’t work for this company. However, I have them 2 stars because they don’t give you too much of a hard time, very flexible schedules available, many different locations and you can pick up extra shifts when available. 

I had a very disappointing experience working for PSA Security. Employees were frequently paid late, which created unnecessary stress and made it difficult to rely on the job financially. Communication from management was poor, and concerns about payroll and scheduling often went unresolved.

Overall, the work environment felt disorganized and unprofessional. Reliable and timely pay is one of the most basic expectations of any employer, and PSA Security consistently failed to meet that standard in my experience. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for stable employment.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part was the flexible hours . Working around my schedule 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The company does not pay on time .
Waited for over a month to get paid 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
All depends on the location . They will call you when they are desperate but when you call to find out about your pay no one answers .

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I would start my day asking about why have I not been paid and I would end it with why have I not been paid . Obviously I left the company .

Flexible shifts, Good working environment with supervisors, great training, and interesting events aplenty.  The only negative is the company gives sub par guards too many chances because management looks out for their employees to a level unheard of in the security industry.  Never felt burnt out or taken advantage of unlike the big security companies that run the jobs like machines.  

This company  is a complete joke they pay you whenever they feel like it. 0 communication with there employees they like to play games and  pay  there favorites first. They pay $15 the hour not $19 I worked here for a month and only received 1 check still waiting for the rest of my checks and if you live in Nassau county/ nyc  area   they treat you worse.  I don’t recommend working here even if it’s a side job it’s a joke of a company don’t waste your time here. 

PSA does not pay you on time.
You have to wait three weeks to receive your first paycheck usually takes four weeks.
Before you will receive your first  check.
Then they mail you the check and you never receive  your check in the mail .
they blame it on the mailing system
You are working but you have to wait for your money ..
They depend on you to work 
Just like you depend to get paid


Paychecks are delayed frequently and they don't do direct deposit. Or at least they didn't when I worked there. Dispatchers will try to guilt trip you or might even flat out lie to you saying "There is no shift at suchandsuch location today enjoy your day off." but in reality they put someone else on your shift for the day.
