Security One, Inc

This is the worst armed security company I have ever worked for.  The management is two guys whom is very lazy. They never want to work a post and if you have to leave early they complain and say they don't have nobody to cover your post. They only pay $11.00 an hour and even though it's weekly pay they are too cheap to pay for overtime. Every employee makes $11.00 an hour even if you are not in GA. The company refuses to give pay increases. They only have a handful of contracts with Regions and Fidelity banks. The management days that they have put in for raises over three years but nothing has happened. This company needs to go out of business because it's very small with no career advancement. I wouldn't advise no one to apply to this company for work even for part time work.

A typical day at work was securing the work post assigned by walking around the post to make sure employees and the premises is secured. Scan employees as they enter and exit the property, watch the security cameras in/outside the post. My co-workers was just that, we all stayed on an business level. The hardest part of this job was you have to take action when situations are caused for security to take part in. The most enjoyable part of the job is when the day goes by smoothly and everyone is doing their part as they should.

You really have to believe in the value of your job to work here. 
The expectations are high and the pay/benefits are low. 
This is armed security and they do not give you benefits until three months of working. 
I had to guard a parking lot on foot in downtown Birmingham from the hours of the 10pm - 6am. 
Those hours were nuts and it wasn’t like they paid me anymore than usual for that.
The coworkers are nice but it wasn’t a good fit.

Client employees will harass you and management will placate them, client employees will lie on you and management will not demand proof even when you're in camera every minute. Memphis is in charge of everything, if a client complains, even if there is no supporting evidence the Memphis office will order you fired, no questions asked and the clients will not let them see video available tgat would prove their employees are lieing. Low pay and poor benefits. Some employees will regularly and repeatedly play the sick game right on schedule so they can work their other jobs and they want you to come in on your days off.

That we was able to sit in the company car and drive around to all the points at the site through a cell phone instead of walking around that big property

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

I worked with the company for a few months back in 2017 and had an overall good experience. Management was good. The only thing I didn't really agree with was the pay since the position was armed but this is definitely a good company. The work is very straightforward. Although I never got the opportunity to go work one of the disaster relief locations, I've talked to people who have and they say that's definitely where the real money is. I suggest asking to see if one of those positions are available because the pay is great.

The over all Birmingham staff and how they resolved issues

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment for the most part was good

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical Dr ay consist of no accidents,no incidents and no near misses

I patrol the premises, observe the customers and employees. I will always be a student of my profession. I will always strive to be greater. I have learned better customer management skills, such as listening to people. Management is professional and they make every attempt to resolve issues that may occur. My co-workers are enjoyable to work with. The hardest part of my job is having to detain someone. The most enjoyable part of my job are the people who I serve and work with.

I like this job when my first manager was there. But  He got fired everything went down hill from there. The paid is 11 dollars for at armed sercruity guard. You get disrespected by the police if  you work in norcross. Even through sercruity May not be police.  We are the first line of self defense when a fight, riot, shooting or domestic dispute happens. Overall the management is bad on both the sercruity and the client who paid them. They need to show the guard more respect and paid more like 15 or 16
