First off, there recruiters are a bunch of dam liars from the start quoting a lucrative pay rate, and when you check it and its $2.00 dollars under the rate and dispute it with recruiter and management, you are suddenly the bad guy and are immediately made to be the bad for not listening.
Their pay rate is not consistent with the national average and for the area for armed and unarmed security officers, on average their base rate pay is $2 to $3 dollars under the average for the area.
This company also does not know how to negotiate a contract with a client correctly, such as factoring in cost of living raises, performance rasies, incentives and longevity pay.
Furthermore, this compamy does not have good business ethics, or personal morals of any kind. This company looks at YOU, as being a warm piece of human flesh, needed at the right place and at the right time ! There are medical benefits, but the policies are so costly, you would have to work excessive amount of overtime too pay for the coverage, besides that the deductible is so out of the world high, that your better off not having coverage in the first place. 
No paid time off, no paid  sick days, they will not be flexiable with scheduling if attending school/college, there concearn is having a warm body at the correct place and at the correct times, they basically would not give a rats a.., regarding your family life. Believe me, I've been doing this businees, way before most of you reading this were out of your diapers, do yourself a huge favor and not waste your time and effort in fowarding your credentials to these idiots could give a rats a.. about you !
This company needs to understand this the fore most: Employees will stay employed with a company if........
1. They are paid well
2. Trusted
3. Appreciated
4. Valued
5. Recognized for their efforts
6. Involved in the good of the company
7. Understanding the mission of the company
8. Being empowered to make changes within the company without fear of retaliation by mamagement
9. To not feel like being in a atmosphere of feeling threatened.
10. RESPECT 
IF YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES, THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR CLIENTS !
But this is not the business ehtics of this company !

Upper management is far behind industry standards. When pushed to change to meet those standards, excuses were abundant. I was lied to about my role within the company. I ended up preforming duties consistently that were far outside my job title and description to the level of it being demeaning and embarrassing to hold the title for the company. Clients were often dissatisfied and I was powerless to resolve the issues. 

The company ultimately did not have my back when my salary was cut and my job security was in jeopardy, despite everything I did to plug the holes they caused by their lack of strategic initiative. 

Overall it’s a decent company to be a guard for. You have minimal oversight and can get away with so much for a long time. Even when you do get caught, consequences are minimal because they can’t afford to lose the manpower. Managing this at any level is a complete joke of a venture. It was actually a step backwards in my career and I’m hard pressed to even make it sound good on a resume. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I enjoyed what I did  and constantly helped with cleaning and improving the increasingly getting worse booths. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Coworkers that gossiped and brown nosed to the point that people could lose hours or their jobs, or have to be the ones to jail significant distances if they wanted hours. Supervisors rarely did their field work or knew much information at all (East).  There was no way to move up, they would give raises even though their handbook said you could request one every 6 months, you would just be blatantly ignored. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You are primarily alone but communicate with coworkers via CB or on other communication devices, but if you’re not part of the “clique” then you often find yourself talked down to. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I no longer work here but when I did, 12 hours of signing people in and out, managing traffic and ensuring safety.

I worked temporarily in management and I hated every second of it. They lied to me when I was hired about what my job would entail. Even though I am a college graduate with a LOT of experience, the pay they offered was totally unfair, and no mention of possible advancement or a raise was ever made. While I had little experience with the guards themselves, I was aware of how poorly they were treated, how often mistakes with their paychecks were made, and how often guards were fired or reprimanded for the littlest things. This company is only money-hungry and do not care about their employees at all. When I left, I e-mailed my supervisors twice simply asking them to mail me important papers from my desk that I had forgotten- they never replied to me and I never received anything. They are incredibly unprofessional and egotistical, and I would not even let my worst enemy work at this terrible company. Not to mention, even though I was a full-time, salaried employee, I received no benefits whatsoever, and no vacation days at all.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It was a paycheck and some of the employees were pretty cool

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working for this company is like working for a newfound baby everybody does nothing too many chiefs not enough Indians and then they want you to jump through hoops when they drop the ball, They will tell you one thing and do something completely opposite of what's being told and when you address it you are wrong

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They lied to you from the door and tell you we are all about family we are all about working together when that is a lie because the moment you start working every man for himself sink or swim

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day is dealing with people not showing up and coming into work and you being held responsible for them not showing up and not only that you having to stay extra hours and days because they refuse to hire anybody and bring anybody there that's of inequality and they send down soft brained knuckleheads to do nothing

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing can’t think of 1 thing they are very inconsiderate and don’t ever get sick and go to hospital and have a Dr note and send it to them and be talking to them at the same time and then say you resigned when you didn’t and you can prove you sent the paperwork and was talking to them as you doing it and you want a job you can sleep and get away with it that’s it they definitely got their favorites that get away with it you say something and it goes in 1 ear out the ither

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management employees not working by the riles

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible I worked there 81/2 months before I got a half of a uniform and a name tag

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The employees before you cleaning up after themselves and do their job instead of half doing it

What is the best part of working at the company?
They are very good with payroll and making sure any errors are corrected promptly.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It’s important to remember they are putting together an operation after an emergency in a new area. However, communication with a field supervisor could be better. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The staff on site are from all over the country, and from different backgrounds. It’s a good team environment and impressive how everyone comes together on a new assignment.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You typically watch an area, room, or outside staging area.  There is standing, sitting and some walking.

Management is poor and scheduling is a disaster.  Run away from this company.  There are many other govt security contractors and I would seek them out over this one.  The places are nice but the lack of professional management makes this employer a disaster.  Extremely mismanaged.  They will say they only need you 3-4 12hr shifts a week in the ad and during the interview, but after you’re hired if you can’t work 6 days a week they will replace you with someone else.  Poor communication and if you are looking for a professional security company to work for, don’t apply for this one.

Enjoy helping with safe traffic control through communication with drivers and fellow guard's which gives you a sense of satisfaction knowing that your  probably preventing probable accidents . Also progressive improvement in Kellington Protection Service policy and terms of service!

When I started with Redcon it was a good start the team I worked with was great the bad thing about this company is that poor communication and lack of professionalism and they will not tell you exactly when your contract ends and leave you on read with no work.  What really had me concerned was I worked 6 months straight 1 day off every other week they have no ranking in security they do not appreciate nothing you do and do not appreciate if you have a outstanding attendance. I was very disappointed with all the effort that I put in thinking I would get somewhere and was lead to nothing. Beware working with this contractor. You will waste your time.
