Securitas Security Services USA Employee Review
“Come to Yankee stadium and get treated like a prisoner.”
★☆☆☆☆
Glassdoor
by Former Security Officer in Bronx, NY
Wonder if the Barclays Center jobs will be as rewarding as those at Yankee Stadium, as outlined in this employee review...
Pros – the interaction with guests is rewarding
It's a nice postion to have on a resume.Cons – Management is all ex correctional officers and treat you like their prisoners. The work environment suffers as a result, everyone is worried about being fired everyday and are constantly worried and angry. All policies are written as a reason to fire someone and the managers will not assist you or give you any advice they will only threaten to give you warnings. Due to all the firings the place is a revolving door of employees and who you work with will change weekly.
The hours fluctuate daily and it's impossible to know when you'll be able to leave everyday. If the game does get rained out you will not be payed after the cancellation. Management will call you in for special shifts with only a days notice and you cannot say no. Even though the job is part time you will not be able to work any other job due to the hours fluctuating. You are not allowed to miss shifts for any reason and even with a doctors note or proof of a death in the family you may be fired.
...It is a union shop but besides paying your dues you will not hear anything from them. You are not given any contact information for them and it's clear they don't care about the working conditions.
AVOID THIS PLACE!
