Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
It all started back in December when a few individuals from our HR/Operations office went to the Vice President, supposedly in confidence, with complaints against how their HR manager was treating them and making HR Manager's HR Staff do the majority of HR Manager's work duties, hoping for some resolve. A week later, that HR manager started individually calling in members of their HR team. The HR manager then pretended the meeting was to "see how things were going" and "wanted to know how the individual was doing." When it seemed as though the individual wasn't getting the answers they wanted, the HR Manager then proceeded to intimidate and coerce the individuals by telling them they "knew all about why you went to the VP so if you'd like to change your answer...". The HR Manager then prompted to provide detailed information regarding the individual's "confidential" meeting with their VP, verbatim. The HR Manager continued the interrogation by demanding these individuals name names immediately and demanded they tell HR Manager who was spreading "gossip." When these individuals did NOT name names, HR Manager started growing impatient. Then proceeded to tell these individuals that if they had a problem with them (HR Manager) that they were not to go to the VP and instead to go to HR Manager, thereby taking away or attempting to take away their proper chain of command. In these meetings with this HR Manager, HR Manager violated company policy by harassing and retaliating against these individuals that sought out proper chain of command by going to their VP. Also, HR Manager violated policy by attempting to take away these individuals' proper chain of command. Intimidating, harassing, and retaliating against them to push them into silence and fear of losing their jobs.

Other individuals in the same office then attempted to contact the Regional HR Vice President in hopes that maybe some resolve would come. However, apparently, they found out that said Regional HR VP had close ties to the VP and the HR Manager of that office and if they went to the Regional HR VP, they would NOT be fairly or equally heard and instead, were scared and intimidated to do so.

Then individuals tried to contact higher chains of commands anonymously, telling these individuals they did not feel comfortable talking with their VP or Regional HR VP, but then apparently, the Regional HR VP is going to conduct an investigation and is singling out three individuals other there from the HR department to interview for this investigation process.

Now I wonder how those 3 people can be singled out for an investigation if some one's complaints were done anonymously... and certain facts surrounding this upcoming investigation lead to believe that it is NOT a credible investigation or appropriate investigation.

It seems that no matter how well you do your job and believe in the core values of Securitas (INTEGRITY, VIGILANCE, AND HELPFULNESS) and if you attempt to report wrongdoings within the company that you are constantly in fear and worry, will be retaliated against and could possibly put your job in jeopardy.

Where is justice? WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?

Security Companies ALL RIP YOU OFF! GET A REAL JOB

#2UPDATE EX-employee responds

Mon, March 10, 2008

I worked for Secuiitas when they were Burns,American Protective, Wells Fargo and all the other names they went under and they kept messing up so bad and losing lawsuits and clients for engaging in exactly the same sort of **** you describe that they finally had to sell and knowledgeable people in the U.S.would not touch them and would not buy them because of the backlog of complaints, lawsuits,. etc. So this HUGE Security FIRM from Sweden bought them and they kept almost ALL of the idiots and morons and dumbasses that got them into the trouble in the first place. SO GET A PELL GRANT AND GO BACK TO SCHOOL! GET OUT OF SECURITY. BECAUSE WHAT YOU DESCRIBED IS A WAY OF LIFE IN PRIVATE SECURITY. GET OUT OF SECURITY WHILE YOU STILL CAN AND GET A REAL JOB! YOU CAN'T TRUST ANY OF THOSE BASTARDS TO KEEP SOMETHING ANONYMOUS AND CONFIDENTIAL. YOU WERE CONNED.YOU WERE HAD. THE WHISTLEBLOWER LAW DOES NOT COVER YOU BECAUSE THIS IS A MEGA MULTINATIONAL CORPORATION AND YOU ARE JUST AN INSECT TO THEM TO BE CRUSHED,GROUND UNDERFOOT AND FORGOTTEN. IF YOU ARE LUCKY THEY WON'T BLACKBALL YOU OR GIVE REFERENCES FROM HELL. GET OUT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. I have 20 years experience in private security and the only way I survived that long was to work the night shifts, stay out of their cheap politics and I went from company to company.... THEY ALL SUCK! THEY ARE ALL BAD PLACES TO WORK FOR -- LIKE WORKING IN HELL! TELL PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT IT IS LIKE TO WORK FOR THEM! TELL EVERYBODY YOU KNOW! And MAYBE they will have to start treating their people better! And maybe they will have to offer free hospitalization and life insurance and dental insurance and pay overtime instead of trying to cheat you and pay you for that paid vacation they promise you... I did the best I could for them but when I got hurt, I could NOT afford medical care and they did NOT have worker's compensation and I should have gone to the hospital and now I am DISABLED because of private security companies. I DO NOT EVER WANT TO WORK FOR ANOTHER SORRY SECURITY COMPANY AGAIN! EVER! THEY LIE! THEY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST OLDER PEOPLE,WOMEN,AFRICAN AMERICANS, PERSONS WITH EDUCATION WHO CAN SEE THE BULLS*** THEY ARE DISHING OUT! QUIT NOW WHILE YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING USEFUL WITH YOUR LIFE! THIS IS BEYOND YOUR ABILITY TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT NOW. READ THE ripoffreport.com before you consider going to work for ANY private security company.

What they teach you

#3UPDATE EX-employee responds

Just so every security officer out their gets to hear it for themselves what they teach us all about sniffing a package for the smell of marzipan or almonds is absolute rubbish, only commercial explosives are impregnated with that stink. People walking through a metal detector are not going to set it off, especially if the fuse is in their shoe, its pliable and that means it can be put into any shape, the lining of someones jacket for example, a coffee thermos, etc. If your unsure ask them to drink the d**n stuff in front of you, don't listen to the experts, we all know what makes an expert. X is an unknown quantity and a Spurt is a drip under pressure!

Lets take it from the top, for a global security solutions provider, they threaten and belittle their own staff, they love to twist what people say in public towards their own ends, for example they perceive a threat where none is implied, asking if you have knowledge of something isn't the same as saying how would you like half a pound of RDX stuffed up your rear end! That would be threat, but unfortunately for this firm, one I have no ambition to carry out, little chance of any apology for the demeaning way in which they handle their own staff. No far be it from them to admit they got it wrong about their own people and say oops look we're sorry for doing that to you for the last six years. Oh, you saw two people in management joking over the company tax returns we can explain, they don't speak on behalf of the whole company, yes we acknowledge you may have found their comments alarming, but don't alarm us or embarrass us with your negative statements as we wont stand for it, or we'll happily try to sue you for everything your worth whilst we get away with solicitation and deformation after all we proclaim to uphold the law, how dare you say we do not! No one demeans our legal team of experts who will attempt to discredit you for all your worth whilst we try to have you disbarred as a lunatic. D.I.R.T Defamatory imbecilic retarded travesty, for a firm that upholds justice, as anonymous said, where is it? Certainly not aimed towards it's own people! Allow me to share a statement that is over 6,750 years old. "Te yeccaqui ni catca cuicoa!" And like the sparrow I will continue to do so, in public and in private! Ex-Military, pfft, and how many of them are dishonorably discharged? But of course we must remember that instead they would rather waste manpower and resources trying to discredit people who speak out against them! A victim of a smear campaign, yes I am, but this firm has a lot of secrets which should be made public and I intend to make it so...

Thank you for speaking out @ Anonymous you've hit the nail right on the head with those statements, thats exactly what they do, threaten their own people with the sack, rather than try to resolve something they prefer the bull boy approach with the idea that they are part of a huge corporation and lets not forget huge corporations step on people without a care in the world as to who they might be attempting to crush.

I couldnt agree more.

#13UPDATE EX-employee responds

Thu, February 21, 2008

I couldn't agree more and if their was nothing to it, then they would still be tendering the contract local to my area and they wouldn't mind me posting the phone number of the person responcible for telling me, but unfortunately I happened to get onto someone in government who ran the contract so they lost one or two pretty quickly I would imagine, specially when I went down to where they used to have officers and those officers where gone, after I mentioned what was going on. When people call other people to ask for information, dragging someones name through the mud, going "Oh, we don't get many calls about that person much these days..." well thats pretty obvious as to why isn't it, they've been slowly trying to eradicate them from his CV to stop the leeking of information which is detrimental for the whole firm. If they got upset because I wrote something mean and nasty, then I apologize profusely, but the people involved need to stop and think about just who the heck it is their slandering. Before that person looses their cool for yet the hundreth time and considers contacting the global media circuit. I don't like being called names to a prospective employer, how would you like it if I did that to you?
