South Florida Security Group

I worked at South Florida Security Group and overall had a positive experience. The company provides solid opportunities for those looking to build or continue a career in the security field. Management is generally supportive and communicates expectations clearly, which helps employees feel prepared and confident on the job.

One of the things I appreciated most was the flexibility in scheduling and the variety of assignments available. This allows employees to gain experience in different environments and develop their skills. The onboarding process was straightforward, and I felt adequately trained for my responsibilities.

Like any company, there are areas for improvement. At times, communication between departments could be better, and some sites can be more demanding than others. However, these challenges are manageable and fairly typical in the security industry.

Overall, South Florida Security Group is a good place to work if you are dependable, professional, and willing to grow. It’s a solid option for anyone seeking stable employment in security with opportunities to gain experience.

Working for South Florida Security Group was a positive experience that helped me develop strong professionalism, communication, and problem-solving skills. A typical day involved monitoring assigned locations, conducting patrols, assisting residents and visitors, and ensuring that safety protocols were followed. I learned the importance of staying alert, remaining calm under pressure, and handling situations with professionalism at all times. Management was supportive and available when guidance was needed. The workplace culture encouraged teamwork, accountability, and respect among employees. The hardest part of the job was staying focused during long shifts while maintaining a high level of vigilance. The most enjoyable part was interacting with people, helping keep the community safe, and knowing that my work contributed to a secure environment. Overall, it was a rewarding experience that provided valuable skills and professional growth.

Not even if your looking for something quick and fast, please avoid. I didn't get paid for a full 8 hours, went to the horrible office where the manager couldn't even tell me when I was getting reimbursed. My very first day working there they had me do 18 hours! YES, 18 HOURS! Also, they make you pay for the uniforms which was $100 deposit to even start working. The pay is minimum wage for everyone despite me having years of experience, and they seem to hire anybody, I mean ANYBODY! Not to mention at the time of me working there, they didn't have direct deposit and comes payday, the line was wrapped around the block like the food stamp line. The day I quit the manager called the police on me because he said they'll mail my deposit to me, I wasn't having it because I didn't mail them my deposit so they wasn't mailing me anything (police came and demanded them to pay me and I left smiling from freedom). I took the chance in working there, do yourselves a favor and stay away.

What i mostly did in this company was work at the posts that were assigned to me, which were 2 properties. In one property name Las Brisas, i was the rover. rover is somebody who drives around securing areas needed to be checked on regular basis, it included greeting, asking questions and writing reports through out the day. The second property is called The Reserve and i was working in the gate house, I had to watch all he camera surveillance on a computer screen, greet all visitors and signed them into the computer system and notify the resident on who was coming to visit. Also had to write my reports through out my shift. I've learned many skills from this job. I learned how to protect myself at all times how to use new software's, how to communicate with with co workers and customer service. The part i enjoyed most from this job was meeting new people.

I had the pleasure of experiencing the exceptional service of South Florida Security Group when we were faced with an issue in our community. Not only did their team respond promptly, but they also demonstrated an exceptional commitment to our safety and well-being. The supervisor, in particular, displayed remarkable professionalism and a proactive approach to addressing the situation. His effective intervention and attention to detail were key in resolving the issue quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend the services of South Florida Security Group for any security needs – they will not disappoint!

Welcome to South Florida Security Group where employee accommodations don't exist and where you will never see or hear from your supervisor. Don't even think about telling them with ahead of time that you cant make it to work because because you will never hear from your supervisor until an hour before your shift and even then they will tell you “you either go or you are fired” so dont even think about getting sick in this job because you going to have to get your contagious self to the post and endureworking like that

I've worked for plenty of Security Companies over the last 12 years and I've had plenty of bad experiences with them too. However, South Florida Security Group takes the cake in bad management and incompetent officers. They hired for my expertise to help improve client relationships and security protocols but refused to take any of my suggestions. Ultimately I was their errand boy that was hired as a district manager but was actually a glorified guard. They don't offer competitive pay and they don't value their employees.

Nothing except the tardy relief guards that are NEVER on time to replace the poor soul that has sometimes been working 2 8hour shifts straight and are completely exhausted by then and NOBODY in the administration including and especially supervisors do absolutely nothing about it.. Then, people make decisions to move on and they are totally clueless as to why.
