What would you improve about your company's interview process?

How about interviewing with the district manager rather than a hiring manager

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Better management, hard to get along when the only thing you can do is take it till you can file a grievance

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

They see us as less than them because of the pay, and in general seeing us as temp secretaries means that they don't value us as security

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

We are paid the lowest of the low by security standards, I would earn more flipping burgers at McDonald's. The raises are minimal and the opportunities are non existent, or never told because they can't lose the low wage workers they have

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

At securitas nothing it's a low level company with no advancement hoping to be bought out, because they don't run a security company they run a temp secretary agency. The site is fine, more interested in working for them than in my own security field

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Site managers need to learn how to treat their staff. Middle managers need to be available and respond, my manager has taken at least 3 vacations in the last year all when I seemed to need to be in touch with them. Upper management needs to actually make us security and stop letting us be temp agent
