      What is overtime like at Securitas?

      Securitas reviews

      Sinking Ship

      Security officer
      Current employee
      Grove City, OH
      Recommend

      Pros

      Some locations offer higher pay. There's no real interview process. If you have a pulse, the interview is then explaining what you will be doing and gaining your agreement to it. If you do not work out at one location, regardless of what you did wrong: they will recycle you to another location.

      Cons

      If you do not work out at one location, regardless of what you did wrong: they will recycle you to another location. You end up with entire teams of awful employees. If your relief calls off or does not come in; you are now required to stay and cover their shift as mandated overtime (they will work you 16 hour days all week, they do not care. Little to no training. Leadership, management & HR have no training or experience. It's very obvious. They just fill the positions with bodies, there is no concern for actual experience or skill required. Especially when it comes to FMLA & ADA accommodations (of course most people leave the company within 6 months). Extremely HIGH turnover rates. Few rarely make it past 1 year (those of us who do are very tough & thick skinned).

      Plenty of hours, plenty of overtime, you meet a lot of people be it the security team, the corporate office, or the client staff.

      Pros

      Good pay for the area, boring but simple work that anyone can do, decent work environment both physically and mentally, and consistant work readily available for those who want overtime.

      Mangement was awful. Poor decision making on pretty much everything there was, policy, staffing, training, responses to anything going wrong.
