SecTek, Inc

SecTek, Inc. is a great place to work for security officers who take their jobs and their futures seriously. At SecTek, all safety issues are addressed immediately, and the small details matter. Management cares about everything. The security officers are treated like family. The work environment here is nice and patrolling will improve your health as an added bonus. I would certainly come back to work here anytime. My manager was communicative, responsive, accessible, and caring. This company has a lot of intelligent people working here, and tends to attract top talent. I felt good coming into work. The days flew by fast because you keep busy. They pay better than many companies out there. If you already have your guard card, apply to SecTek! If you don't have a guard card, I recommend you get one because working in security is a really sweet job to have. You get to help people and maintain safety, which is something to be proud of. Good luck to all the job seekers out there.

It should be all about treating the officers rite. Their are more supervision on site during the day and no one knows anything. The supervision is quick to pass the buck and give you points. Most of the LT's have no knowledge of what they are doing. Almost everyone who is a good officer is afraid to come to work or be late because it could be your last day. They dont care if your are sick or in the hospital you will get points. You have up to 16 points to earn befor you get S-Caned. All the LT's tend to look out for each other and they always look out for the officers who do nothing all day. They dont get points when they call out and when they F-UP which they do alot. If you try to go over the chain of command they will let you go. The union is a joke the officers hove no voice. No one is their to help us. We need help ASAP.
We pay union dues but don't get any backup from the union or the union reps.

This is the kind of job you want to do if you like constant change and exposure to many different people. Atypical day for me begins when I catch the bus to the train station, already seeing new and familiar faces. Arriving at work I see about half of my colleges and get started right away. First I see the boss to receive the morning briefing, then its off to the various officer posts to distribute memos and, office supplies or fresh batteries for their two-way radio.
   I meet many clients as I patrol the campus and provide relief for officers on break or lunch. The most exciting times are when a school field-trip comes to the National Weather Center for a tour. Each student is on a pre-approved list. Each must be signed in and given a visitor badge.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Not working for them again. I've worked f/t over 100 hrs every 2 weeks. I made a lot of ot and when I made my year I put in for my vacation. I was told I was placed as a pt employee..they lied to me . I was even a supervisor and helped them cover shifts when they had 0 coverage...but is okay God will take care of them....


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not paying proper ot and not getting my vacation also having to work ot and not getting relieved.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I dont want to be banned. So I keep it to myself.. but you imagine when they mess with your money and family's finances. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I made my day great the company didn't have anything to deal with it.

When I first started working for Sectek it was great! Their trainers were amazingly top notch and all of their staff were nice and professional. As the years went on everything went downhill. They started hiring extremely unprofessional project managers and supervisors. You couldn’t give a complaint about upper management without retaliation. All of the good staff left. The working environment was hostile and abusive. I’m still recovering from what that did to me mentally. I wouldn’t recommend the company at all. In fact I should’ve sued them for how I was treated. It was mainly the project managers and supervisors but I think if you care about your company you should evaluate who you have running it by talking to who they deal with and they didn’t do tho

This site I . currently working at.. The Woodner it is a horrible place to work.. it is infested with Rats, Bed Bugs, Roaches.. the tenants here allow their dogs to defecate on the floor and leave it there.. we have no where to take a break... The break area recommend for us to use has Mold on the walls and vents it also has Bed Bugs in it.. my co worker just got bit up this past Friday 12/15/18. Also the management here is ridiculously inconsiderate of the tenants and employees here. It's just an overall HORRIBLE experience.

SecTek is a good Company with good Values. Typical Security company. There is one huge problem. Advancing. spend three years on site, get your certifications, do good work? DON'T MATTER. You will sit there forever. Sometimes you feel down right unnoticed. no extra pay in three years. No anual bonus in three years. No change of pace in three years. day in day out same thing everyday. Managment is good till you talk about more money. then they dont know who you are. OVERALL great company but there needs to be more opportunity.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company not that bad that site aren't so bad in Baltimore. And daily pay was a blessing 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They don't really communicate they don't know how to communicate or get in touch with you unless it necessary for them.  That can be very dangerous as a security guard if you can't get in contact with their supervisor so that's kind of frustrating

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Once you get used to your schedule you should be good

Working at the Silver Spring site can be stressful most days. This site expects you to learn everything really fast. The amount patrols that are done here are ridiculous. Be ready to walk for the entire shift with no break or as was told to us no restroom break, because patrols need to be done. Your days off can change anytime without any notice. Or the hours you work can change without even asking you if you can work the hours. Officers do not stay here for long. This site basically has a revolving door. There is no communication here but they expect a lot out of you. Also, you are required to take a weekly test. I would rather work here as a part-timer.

A typical day at work not much is going on. Poeple try to breech the property daily but every incident is thwarted by security. I have learned always to be viligeant. Even to those vistors and tourist who seem to be doing the right thing. In a split second those things have changed. My co-workers are great. We work togther as a team to keep the work enviornment quick paced but also comforable. due to the fact that our job places us in the hazards of the outside environment for up to 12hrs at a time. I enjoy meeting the many new faces that come from all over the world to visit our nations Liberty Bell and Independence Hall Historical site.
