U.S. Security Associates Interview Questions

Application

The process took 3 days. I interviewed at U.S. Security Associates (Atlanta, GA).

Interview

I was offered an interview after I applied on ZipRecruiter and I accepted the interview offer. The pay of 10.00/hr an hour was not enough to maintain stability for my family and I. The interviewer also let me know that the turnover rate was high at the company which for me was a red flag l. No Benefits, No decent pay for a family of four. No Go! Although I would recommend to someone single living with their mom.

Interview

I applied on indeed.com . About 15 days later I got an email from a recruiter asking me if I could work nights and weekends for the shift. I agreed and she set up an interview for me with the hiring manager. My interview was scheduled for 11am on a Wednesday I arrived 30 mins early and was directed to wait in the lobby for the hiring manager. The interview was conducted in a meeting room in the command center downstairs. I was interviewed by a African American female and a Caucasian male. Both were very nice and welcoming and made me feel really comfortable from jump street. When I got there I learned the hours were actually 4 days a week 10 hours a day during the day time(6-5pm). They started off the interview telling me about the job the atmosphere and the people. Then they proceeded on asking me about my self and a series of questions. Interview took about 30 mins . They told me they had a few more interviews and would get back to me on Friday . I heard from them the following Tuesday with an offer. The time from the initial email to offer was about 2 weeks.

Interview

I applied for Security Supervisor on 3/1/2017.

// 1 - APPLICATION PROCESS //

Their application process is absolutely disorganized and unprofessional. It's an insane mess. I had to apply several different times to get my application to actually go through. I ended up finally entering "see other application" because my fingers literally got tired of typing. I really wanted the job, but it's clear that people who are passively looking are not going to apply with such a mud-ridden system. It really advertises the work environment you're about to enter.

// 2 - THE HR RESPONSE //

The next day I receive a phone call from an unknown number in Seattle, WA. Look, if I apply for a jobs in Portland-OREGON, I'm not going to expect a call from SEATTLE, so I won't answer it on the first go. The caller didn't bother having the common courtesy of leaving a voicemail message, which tells me one of two things: 1, the caller wasn't really interested in speaking to me - or 2, the caller dialed the wrong number.

After realizing I had missed a call, I Googled the number (253-874-1172). It was U.S. Security Associate's HR number in Seattle. Seeing as I had invested almost two hours on their dysfunctional application process, I felt obligated to call back. I was met with a long ring-tone and a voicemail of an HR manager (feel free to call the number to find out her name).

// 3 - THE INTERVIEW (if it were to happen) //

Since I've been officially snubbed by HR (that means HR hung me out to dry, simply for not answering the phone, despite not being employed by them), I've crafted my own interview fantasy (that is probably more realistic than not):

HR: So tell us about yourself.

Me: I'm 26; a military instructor; pursuing a degree in security management with a concentration in counterespionage; 5 years of loss prevention and security experience; 7 years of anti-terrorism training and experience; and I'm looking for a career in the security industry.

HR: That's great. Well we will like to say that we are sorry, the supervisor position was just filled, but we have an excellent opportunity for you. How would you like to be a regular security officer? We offer competitive wages. How does $12.00/hr sound?

Me: [prepares Dr. Evil voice acting]: HOW BOUT NO!
