On July 24th 2013 I went with a friend to apply for jobs at Platoon Staffing. We were told to pay a $95 fee for Loss Prevention training and a background check. The class was supposed to be on August 2nd 2013. So I paid the fees thinking ok cool I'm gonna get a job. We show up August 2nd just to find the door locked so my friend gave "Captain" McCarthy a call and says that they cancelled the class and didn't even bother to give me and my friend a call saying so. So we decided to just get our money back so the following week I gave "Captain" McCarthy a call and told him that I was supposed to go to a class for loss prevention August 2nd and he has the nerve to lie and says that he didn't have a class for that day when I got written proof and the receipts to prove it. So he says he is gonna take care of it since then he never picks up his phone or comes up with he's not feeling well or some other BS. I tried calling today all the numbers he has and nothing. I managed to get a hold of him and he says he will give me a refund but there is a $25 fee which I know is also BS he just doesn't want to give me my money back i also told him to mail it to me and he never did.
This company is nothing but a scam I'm not the only one they are doing this to. All I want is my refund back all $95 of it. Either he can try to get a hold of me and actually mail me my refund I'm tired of getting jerked around by this guy he's not a professional I expected more from a security company.

I do remember you and Yes we do not refund when you miss a class. We work with Security companies state wide providing them with great employees.
Most companies want the person trained before this person get in front of the interviewer. So we have clients that need Loss Prevention Officers so we contract to get you trained. and yes you pay for it. But sir you missed the class and where offered a secound chance to come to our weekly class but you declied and said you want your money back.
You did state if I did not refund you would Blog it to the world. well you atlease follow through on this and yet you still out of work. Maybe you should come to the class so I can put you to work.
My phone Number is 310-508-2214 call for class time and we will help you get the training you need
I am not Wal-Mart I don't give Refunds once you sign up that it. I am a business I don't have time to play with people that don't want to follow the rules. If you had went to a college you would been told the same.
I can help you with a job but no refund period.
Also note this is why I'm on this site all the time people think they are entiltled to a refund just because but when you buy a seat from a company and say your going to be there and your not due to your late or change your mind and want a refund then you cost the company money for that loss seat. Just think of us as a baseball game and you buy a ticket and don't go, the ball club won't refund you either.
Note: to all that place your complaints here I am a business that puts people people to work. I have placed over 5000 people to full time jobs. and that ones that are on this site was not placed due to they just want to blog. I am still ok with this number. infact just placed 60 people the last Friday. You have stopped nothing. So come to class or Blog on!
If you come to me for a job and end up here instead of talking to my in person. This just means you did not follow the rules of my company. I can only help you when you talk to me.
ALSO PLEASE NOTE: PLATOON IS A STAFFING AND RECRUITMENT COMPANY WE ARE NOT A SECURITY COMPANY WE JUST WORK WITH THEM. TO PROVIDE THEM WITH NON-BLOGGERS BUT WE JUST REFER THEM THE TRAINING. AND THE TRAINING IS DONE BY A SECURITY COMPANY THAT WE CONTRACT TO TRAIN YOU.WE DONT REALLY DO THE TRAINING, BUT WE FIND IT AT A REDUCE RATE. WHERE ARE YOU GOING FIND LOSS PREVENTION TRAINING FOR $60.00 A GREAT DEAL FOR 16 HOURS OF FULL TRAINING.
and Lastly- THERE IF NO fLIPPING REFUNDS PERIOD. COME GET A JOB OR STAY HOME AND BLOG.
