Security-101

Each day provides opportunities to learn more about the security industry through performing site walk-thru visits in preparation for providing solution proposals for video and security solutions.

Management and leadership is involved minimally until the numbers aren't high enough and business objectives can often seem vague.  

Other employees and coworkers are hard-working and committed to the tasks at hand. There is a general lack of business development direction or routine meetings to develop quarterly plans for continued business growth.

The hardest part of the job is getting a transference of knowledge and understanding expectations from the sales leaders and upper management.

The most enjoyable part of the job is being exposed to a new industry, developing sales leads with new clients and putting previously learned skills from school and prior experiences to good use. 

A great opportunity but with little room for growth if you have prior management or corporate experience.

Work was regularly abundant. 

Added plenty of certifications to my resume. 

If management would stay on point with the core values then the company has the potential to be great. 

Workplace culture had its highs and lows. The techs you will be working with are some great guys with specialties in different aspects. Some of the best people I could work with and are close friends of. 

Hardest part of the job is the inconsistencies from management and not always listening to the recommendations of their experienced technicians.

Most enjoyable part of my job was I worked with my best friends, and leaving the company was not an easy one. Still sore how things ended by myself and ownership.

There is a great culture of teamwork and support at Security 101. The team has a vast pool of security system knowledge through the people they have hired. If you need a security services, Security 101 is the best company to provide that solution for you. The work will require you to be flexible, hard working, and provide professional interaction and communication with customers. I learned what it can mean to be working with a group of people that are more than  just co-workers.

Went thru a couple managers, franchise owner was fairly hands off, was admirable through the Covid stretch. Tough upper management, cared about success in a military way. Don't get me wrong, I admire the well-intentioned people, some just weren't managed properly before I got there, techs bought anything they did and didn't need... before and during my tenure. Good luck going forward...   

a typical day at work was full camera installs cctv and card access, i learned to run wire hang camera program card access systems terminate cat5/6 audio video, co workers all got along great good people to work and be with, hardest part of the job was learning to program systems, enjoyable part of the job learning something new every day challenge your mind.

You work hard an what they show you what to do an you exactly what they tell you what to do an still not happy an say that your not working even if you do it in fast time an be always on time even before management comes in they still not happy there just quick to terminate.

I have been with Security 101 for many years and it is the best job I have had.  I am constantly challenged so it is not boring.  Management is clear and fair on their expectations and treat us very well.  When business is good they give substantial bonuses.  The other employees work on a high level and people who aren't at a high level seem to weed themselves out. 

From the owner, regional manager ,project managers, assistant,supervisor everyone make fell like we know each other for a long time they trust me and thats a good thing because make you give the 150%on the field because you cant betray that confidan .We are like a family we take a good care to each other and we keep always in touch.
