Pros

They will work with you to get you hours you need. Easy to pass preemployment screening. You may end up working mostly alone.

Cons

There are more cons then pros but the pros outweigh the cons in my opinion. Pay is low. $10 an hour average. Better then minimum wage but still runs out before the next pay check and I live with my father. I don't expect any raises since Securitas is a subcontractor and what they pay us to start is probably the most they can from what they are getting paid plus their cut. I don't blame them for that though. Relief workers. If they don't show up your screwed and they probably won't get fired. It took 4 or 5 months for my coworker to be written up for being 45 mins late all but 5 days since I started. I'm a single mom and I NEED to leave at the end of my shift. Getting 40 hours at one site. No one wants to work 2 part time jobs to make up one full time job. I got very lucky. Others just have a hard time getting 40 hours at all. Their health insurance is a joke. It doesn't fit the ACA requirements. It's 15% of their average employees pay or $125 every paycheck. For the 'bronze' package. For one person. If I wanted to add my son it was almost 4 times that amount.

Pros

The only thing that I enjoyed while working here was the team that I had the privilege to work with. My employment was on a tech team which was a vendor with a larger Tech company. I was able to network and meet some amazing people that allowed myself to connect with others in the tech industry.

Cons

My experience with this company was extremely disappointing. I raised serious workplace concerns related to disability-related treatment, harassment, and overall employee support through internal reporting channels, but I did not feel those concerns were handled with the urgency, fairness, or accountability they deserved. The issues continued for a significant period of time, despite repeated attempts to report them properly. After I provided additional details that were requested as part of the internal reporting process, I was removed from my client assignment. In my opinion, the timing and handling of that decision felt retaliatory, especially because it happened after I raised concerns and participated in the company’s reporting process in good faith. I was initially told that another placement would be pursued, and there was communication for several weeks. However, I was ultimately separated from the company under a “Non-Placement Termination.” The experience left me feeling unsupported and gave me serious concerns about how employee complaints, workplace concerns, and follow-through are handled.
