Vigilant Private Security, Inc.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The owner will hire you & keep you employed as long as WTW reimburses them. After that you can forget about being employed. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything. Ambiance. Morale. Management is more like dictatorship. Management is a joke. Owner is prejudiced. I can go on but you de ode if you would want to work at a place where you’re not valued or respected. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not good. Super patriarchal. Employed there for 18 months and every week was stressful. For many reasons. Whether it was the morale, the management, the unprofessionalism, it was all not enjoyable.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Listen to management complain about their employees, yet show no initiative in training or quality hiring.

It's minimum wage, standing guard, patrol drivers, and dispatchers all get paid within 50 cents of each other. Overtime is basically a requirement since people call off everyday. They play favorites because people call off all the time but if you try to call off they expect you to work. The cars they provide for patrol all have issues, whether it be check engine light on or bad tires. Put you in ghetto spots without any protection if you're standing, or send you to dangerous service calls if you're in patrol. (Like a cop should be called not security). No direct deposit, was promised to raise at the beginning of the year and never received it. Other security companies pay more than they do at this point. 

This company values effort and dedication. So anyone who approaches the work with the right attitude will not have a hard time doing the job. I enjoy working here and believe I've always been heard and treated fairly. I have personally witnessed managers answer phones in the middle of the night to address the concerns of employees. From my experience this security company is the most people-oriented that I've seen by far. If you are thinking to collect an easy paycheck with minimum effort you will struggle. But if you are ready to put in the effort and be communicative with your supervisors then you will enjoy it and have opportunities to be promoted.

Misleading pay rate and dishonest Raise scale. When hired they say you get a 3rd, 6th AND 9th month raise.

When you're yearly raise comes around they will not uphold their end and force their employees to accure extra tools in order to receive you're owed raise.

Management does not care about their driver's physical or mental health.

Management encourages hit-and-runs to ensue.

Allows harassment 

It doesn't matter if you're a great employee for this company. If they don't like you due to THEIR own personal reasons, they will let you go after one mistake. No warning or write up, just fired.

Got Hired On The Spot Last Month As A Part Time Job Due To Having A Prior Full Time One Already. Manager Had Promised To Give Me A Lot Of Hours For The Week. Went A Whole Week Checking In With Dispatcher To See If I Had Any Work Site Scheduled To Work. Was Told I Had Nothing.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Warehouse foot patrols/truck gate

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Truck gate/foot patrols as well as informing client of any incidents

I loved the workflow of being a patrol driver. The job keeps you busy and makes the nights go by quick, but I worked hard for this company for months and got no appreciation. They also change your shift times and ask you cover different patrol routes with little to no notice. You’re not on a set route. Management constantly threatens to replace employees. Little to no overtime offered. Uniforms look like clowns. Management is a joke. Avoid if possible. 

To be completely if want a proper job with benefits and paid time off. Please go somewhere else as this place doesn't. If want to know about pay its start with barely above minimum wage as standing guard.
