The Wackenhut Corporation
Ripoff Skimming Wages

This info is about the St. Louis office only. I don't know much about the others.

I worked for this company for 2 years. They skimmed money out of employee's checks. When you worked out hours times hourly rate, it was always short... Usually by 3-5 cents an hour. It may not seem like much, but added across all employees it is a lot. They also shorted whole days of pay and wouldn't correct it for months. I was shorted 40 hours once and had to threaten to call the labor board before I could get paid... Which was 3 months later. Others were shorted whole days regularly.

When I threatened to report them, they waited a few months, and then started to write me up, even when following their guidelines and City Laws to the letter. I had never had any problems or write-ups prior to this. I left on my own, but I warn anyone who would deal with them.

The Local managers are corrupt. One used to be a police officer and was kicked off the force for having Hot Tub Parties with Underage girls. Also for prospective clients: The local office has an unwritten rule where officers are not allowed to stop any crimes, they are only allowed to watch and report. Beware. Do Not work for them or use them for security.
