Southern Jamm Security

Could use some work. I have personally have had some rough experiences. Such as lack of management checking in while I've been standing in my spot for hours, or temporarily lost checks, or lack of training sometimes (depending on the situation, sometimes training can be very detailed!). But they always work to resolve their problems. While I wouldn't give them a 5 star rating, if you don't mind standing in one spot for a few hours or watching over a small area for some extra cash this job is a great fit. Of course you will be out in the heat and cold,  and will be standing for hours, but that is to be expected. They are great for a flexible schedule as you pick when and if you want to work each week and there's no stress to work a certain amount of hours if you're busy. This is a great second job. The only stress with this job is the unhappy people you sometimes encounter as a security officer, but that's to be expected as well. Just make sure you can be a stern person to talk to certain people while working this job. You need a loud voice. The management does like to try and keep the vibes up as well, which was always greatly appreciated.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Management doesn't micromanage and weekly pay.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No room to increase pay, no room to move up in company, and very poor communication by management. Pay is not so good well as well.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very quiet and relaxed . I only saw management once a week when I got my check for about 10 minutes. They don't follow through with what they say they're going to do.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Show up to account, call your shift in. Watch the property all night. Call in the end of the shift then go home. It's very quiet and relaxed depending on the account you work.

This is a great place to work. Especially if you are looking to supplement your income. Flexible hours and competitive pay. I like the variety of events and establishment that we get to work security at. All the coworkers and management are really nice and easy to get along with.
Unlike a-lot of places we get paid weekly which helps a-lot of people working a full time job as well, make it to their full time paycheck. 
I work part time hours but still am afforded a break during my shift to be able to call home and check on my family which is a must do for me.Glad I found Southern Jamm and thankful for my job with them.

I don't actually dislike my job, just the management. The owner expects you to be 15minutes early for every shift without compensation. If you are required to stay longer than your usual shift you are not compensated either. We are told to not eat or drink during shifts, but are not allowed to take breaks. This includes shifts that require standing and walking for the duration of 4 or more hours. Overall this company is a pretty lousy place to work due to questionable business practices and low pay.

While I enjoyed my specific work site, the company’s management ultimately pushed me to leave. They were not accommodating and showed little regard for employees’ personal lives, frequently requiring additional shifts beyond the agreed-upon schedule. The expectation to go above and beyond without fair compensation, benefits, or reasonable scheduling made the job unsustainable. In hindsight, I should have paid closer attention to the warnings and negative reviews before accepting the role.

What is the best part of working at the company?
No micro managing and you  didn't have to worrying about people breathing down your neck 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing was particularly stressful 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Depends on where they place you at but majority is just patrolling the property and documenting 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in and patrol that's about it

I enjoy everything about my job! The office staff and the officers, the public when working events - I thoroughly enjoy it all and feel a sense of satisfaction after a day’s work. I see first hand all that goes into staffing and scheduling and everything in between, and my observation is if you care as much as management does and show dedication to your job and the company, your efforts will be acknowledged, appreciated and rewarded. I am so grateful to have found my place here at Southern Jamm Security!

My everyday work would be waking up early in the morning to clean the Joe David Stadium in Huntsville Alabama to get it prepared for then next game that day. The management was very easy to work with and would sometimes work with you to get the job done. The best part about the job was the easy work and working outside. The hardest part of the job was working a deadline and cleaning restrooms.

Overall
My experience working at Southern Jamm Security bad decision

A typical day of work would always consist of us being briefed for the event that we are working and what our roles were along with what was expected of us. Everyone that I have met while working is a great person. The hardest part of the job would only be the complaining from customers but we still act very professional about it. The most enjoyable part of the job would have to be the people that you work with and the owners of the company.
