Blue Knight Security

I consider myself to be a professional S.O. with over 7 years of security experience.  Blue Knight Security was the last employment I ever applied for a security officer position. 

Some great colleagues can be found in the company. However, No benefits or job security while I was a full time employee. Union is absolutely useless and redundant. You will never hear from them. At the time (probably still is) the union representative had a unique partnership tied to V.P.  Never received a response or assist from the union, only from the mouth of the V.P. directly. Most disagreements with management will warrant threats of "holding cheques" or threat of termination against you. Supervisory positions often are certain to be acquired, but with little benefit to them. Advancements only can be acquired through favouritism and not seniority or performance.  More replacement Supervisors than I can count during my tenure at B.K.S. 

Be comfortable acquiring shifts in just a short few hours prior, 12 to 14 hour shifts, and long commutes out of town to sites. Be sure not to disagree with ANY management or you'll find yourself out of a job. 

Good experience though for a security guard.

I had great management. My boss' were phenomenal people who clearly loved what they do. I would work overnights for 12 hours or work an 8-13 hour day shift depending on the location. I learned how to communicate with  the homeless of Hamilton, as I worked many days down at the Hamilton City Centre Mall. I also worked with International workers who were on ships - transporting goods. The language barrier's were tough, but we made through it. I also did security events such as Rib Fest, dealing with harmless protestors and intoxicated people weren't much of a hassle. I finished my duties by working the Hamilton Airport checking workers in and out.

Satisfaction in this line of work is highly dependent on your placement. 

Get a comfy spot at a quiet mall: just do your patrols, make pleasant small-talk with store employees, give directions to confused old ladies - not too bad, really.

Get stuck in an industrial facility: watch 70+ cameras all day while keeping a log of every mundane thing that happens - soul-crushingly boring but at least you'll have plenty of time to wonder how your promising life came to this.

tldr: Ask what positions you'd be expected to work and don't be afraid to request a particular type of placement.

Usually during over night watch very peaceful but always stay alert cause there no warning of what go bump in the night management seem  to care  co,worker some are natural complainers other are nicer In the winter the job is cold and wet if you are in your car you waste gas  to keep warm with no compensation but over all it a nice job for a semi retired or somebody looking forrea steeping stone to a career in security

My work with BKS gave me experience in working in multiple environments, multi-tasking, working under pressure, responding to emergency situations and following the provided training that is the lifeline in the work of security.

Bad supervisors. Horrible staff and no dispatch. Useless ppl who favor others. Find another place to work. Promise u everything and give u nothing. End up quitting a job for what. Horrible hours and horrible
Pay.

Owners of Blue Knight Security use people. 
They will tell you that you are "Like Family" but when you show that you disagree with them, you're gone.
Long hours on short notice.

Arrive on time and deal with people and job requirements.Listen to your clients and company instructions.Be considerate for the public andyour own workers

Never work here this company never gives steady hours and they never never never give support to their staff even tho they say they will be there to support you they really arent 

Just nope. The things I've heard from former colleagues and coworkers is so ludicrous and disgusting that I'm thankful I'm not an employee of theirs anymore.
