Vigilant Asset Protection, LLC.

Firstly, I had a great experience with the people I worked with and some managers, but it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. You'll be trained by either a great trainer or the worst in the company, which can affect performance. You're also in a hazardous environment where approaching the wrong person could end your life or hurt you. You don't get any benefits, so if you do get stabbed or hurt during the workday, good luck getting them to pay for the injury.

It also could be very dull or enjoyable depending on the day and store location you could be at, and when I say could be at, you will be sent to multiple different stores within the week, meaning there is no stable location. You will only be paid for mileage if you hit 50 miles within that given day, which you'll never hit. There is also no promotion within this company; they won't give you raises when they say they will! This also includes training pay, which is supposed to be +2$. 

However, they will never give it to you and still expect you to train new hires (trust me, there are new hires every single day or week), and mostly none, if not all, won't make it through the first week because of the dangerous working environment, for which I can't blame them. The pay isn't much but laughable at times as well, especially when, like I mentioned, you could be stabbed or shot at any moment. Amazingly, amazing people are working for this company, or at least there were before they all left. This is perfect if you're looking for a quick turnover job where you can find something else later or need a month or two gig until a new job opening opens. 

You're a contractor, so the higher-up Safeway managers will be trying to find you guilty of something, whether it be time theft because of downtime at this job or talking to Safeway employees for too long. You'll also have to work with internal Safeway Loss Prevention, which could get you into dip trouble if they don't like you or want to snitch on you to the higher-up Safeway managers. 

Overall, it isn't the worst job, and it beats a warehouse job, which doesn't have much merit behind it anyway. I'd look for a job where you get paid a fair wage and feel like you can connect with others at the job site and get treated more than just a number they can fill out to keep their contract alive. Trust me, their contract won't be there for much longer because the lawsuits and overall team running the company don't help; plus, they only have this contract with Safeway, so the second they lose it, everyone will be out of a job without a severance package! 

Vigilant AP is a third-party loss prevention company contracted by Safeway.
A typical day is walking the store looking for shoplifters. Trying to apprehend the shoplifters and have them sign a civil demand and trespass.
The hardest part of this job is making Safeway happy. They are the client, so if they don’t not like you, they can take you from the contract and Vigilant cannot do anything about it.
Management at this company has no backbone. When you get hired at this company, the pay rate is so ridiculous some people get hired in at one rate with a lot of experience and then other people come in with no experience experience getting paid much more just to get bodies in the door. The hardest part of this job is trying not to get a bad stop and keeping your composure at work with difficult situations with shoplifting. The most enjoyable part of the job is the money other than that stay away. The employee turnover at this company is very high. The contract is very new and people only been there one to three months before quitting or getting terminated from the contract. Once again, you’ve been worn. This is not a company that you want to build a career on if you want to work for this company do it for the money and hopefully you don’t get fired. 

When I first applied, I asked management to schedule me in areas near me and to have two consectutive days off. They said okay and I thought everything was fine; Two weeks later I'm getting split days off and scheduled in another county that I have to pay a pretty penny for transportation to take me to my scheduled location. I then told management about this and they said that they totally forgot about it and they will correct it; THEY KEPT PING POINGING ME between areas in my county and the outside counties that I TOLD THEM I paid a huge sum to get there and go back home. On top of that they still kept scheduling me split days off. Not to mention that 80% of the employees commit time fraud since contractors and management treat you like trash. The company also has a relatively high employee turnout rate since everytime they hire and train a new employee, another one had just quit or been fired, so don't expect to be working with the same LP associates.

Do not work here. The management does not care about your well-being, doesn’t care if you get hurt, doesn’t care if you’re in a sketchy area, doesn’t care about anything regarding your safety. 

Despite working in several VERY bad locations, I was told that I wouldn’t get another person to work with despite me saying I was feeling unsafe at that store. I had requested to not work at specific stores due to the severity of how bad they can be, and was still scheduled there. 

I cannot say this enough: do. not. work. here. If you want a good company and management that actually cares; find any other job

One of my coworkers got assaulted on the job, they said they were cleared to go back to work, company NEVER responded so now they’re out of a job. The least Vigilant could do was tell them they were being let go but I guess that’s too much effort

A typical day at work involved constant pressure and fear of being disciplined for not meeting expectations. Some trainers displayed toxic behavior and would threaten employees, while management failed to properly address concerns when they were reported. Requesting time off or calling out sick often resulted in negative reactions instead of support or understanding. The workplace culture felt stressful and unsupportive, with employees frequently feeling pressured over performance and job security. The hardest part of the job was dealing with management communication and the overall environment.

If you want to be treated badly by both your company and the store management have at it. Keep away from the management of the store after you check in for the day. The employees of the store will interfere with you, and try to do your job for you. The manager will side with management of the store, and not back you in the event you stand up for yourself. If you decide to work for them start looking for a better one. You will realize very quickly that it is a dead end job with no benefits. It is not a good company to work for for. 

I had done a lot of other security company jobs. I was getting completely burned out on having my hands tied about being able to do anything. Here at this company they take great care in the making sure you are trained properly for your position. At the end of each day I feel like I actually did something and make a difference In deterring thieves and apprehending shop listers. I feel like I can trust my team members and they have my back rather than working alone as you often do in security. If you want something that really is a decent pace And you have a goal to work towards every day I highly recommend this company

I’ve been working Loss Prevention for a few years now. I have to say Vigilant Asset Protection is the best company I have worked for. I am well compensated, praised and encouraged for my work. I have been with the company for two months and I have already been promoted. Management is excellent, fair, very supportive of my coworkers and I. All they expect in return is to work hard, work safe, and have integrity in the job you are doing. I would recommend Vigilant to anyone that wants grow with an excellent Asset Protection company. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The independence and solitude.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of professional management. Some supervisors lack honesty and Integrity 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic. You can be the best agent in the company and still be undervalued.  Yet employees who have no business being in loss prevention and security are treated like royalty. If you're not kneeling down to your supervisor, you're not important 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Lots of travel,floor walk and micromanagement.

Management doesn’t care about anyones opinions or personal safety as others have said if you request to not work at certain stores they don’t care say it’s part of the job, sick and need a day off? If you don’t have any sick time saved up forget about it you HAVE to work. Get stuck working with idiots who more often than not don’t have your back so never in a safe situation. Only thing decent about the job is not being micro managed work the floor with your team and looking for shoplifters is all there is to it.
