US Security Associates
Unfair Treatment

I work for US Security and have seen a lot of crap go on there in my 26 months on the job.

I have been cussed out in front of my peers (TWICE) and have seen others receive the same treatment. The manual CLEARLY spells out that that type of behavior is not acceptable and that the FIRST offence is immediate termination. However, the perpetrators not only remain on site, they have also been promoted to lead officers.

I have worked on the last three Thanksgiving Day shifts (I began with the company in October) and it took me until Christmas Eve of '09 to get my Thanksgiving Day overtime money, as they paid me straight time for it. I don't mind working on Thanksgiving, because I take vacation for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but to have to wait a month for my overtime money is just wrong.

I was recently called a liar by our Regional Manager (the 3rd one in 2 years) because I was late for work after being clipped by a car on the interstate, and didn't get a police report. A police report is only given for damage of $750 or more, and mine was just enough of a paint rub to warrant only a $10 bottle of touch up paint. But I had to get off of the interstate, then find a safe place to be able to get out of my truck to inspect the damage, and then proceed to work. I was 2 minutes late and got written up for it.

Currently, I am awaiting my vacation check for putting in my 2080 hours in a year, and haven't received it yet. Our book says that you receive it 30 days AFTER hitting that mark and I hit it on November the 14th. I have tried to contact them today only to get voice mails. That is the way of this company. They DON'T want to talk to you, so they screen their calls and hope you'll go away.

The only reason that I am still with this company is that there really isn't many jobs out there (thanks to our wonderful government), I am in school, and I have bills to pay. Until I find something better, I am stuck in this crappy place.

If anybody is looking for a job, and is in desperate need of one, DO NOT go work for US Security.
