SCARLET SECURITY

This was the most mismanaged company I ever worked for. The "boss"spends more time out smoking then doing work, that is when he is actually at the office. Most of the time no one is there. They will never give a raise. Employees are underappreciated and overworked. The scheduling was insane. You would never know till literally minutes before you were called out if you were going to work that day. The night patrol was a joke, most of the time it isn't even actually done, they just fill in the time on the timesheets. I was told there was a business that we were being paid to do security for on Friday nights, and nobody had been going there. The boss had just been filling it it on the books. I can't confirm that but it came from pretty high up. I was handed the keys to the company vehicle without even having a license. Extremely poorly managed and run and I question how they even remain in business.

This is the most unprofessional security company I have ever worked for with the most incompetent management team. They do not treat their employees with any respect. I witnessed a lot of abuse by a particular supervisor and everyone was afraid to mention anything. The morale was very low and the days are very long (12 hours). Not everyone is cutout for the camp life. This is not your average security role and risks far out way the rewards.  

Was awake at 0415 Did a toolbox talk at 0530 started work at 0600 end work day 1800 access control did paperwork checked vehicles to make license plates matched passes sure no contraband Did visitor  passes Did radio check ins made sure no scent of of alcohol or drugs or banned items drove from one post to other posts talked with over couple hundred people a day which was best part of the job as most people on site were from all over the world the hardest part of the job was management would not communicate with each other or us

Good paying job, the company pays on time. The job duties are ever changing, the client is constantly demanding as well as demeaning, the management will always go with the client. Expect long travel delays, constant changes in your duties and micromanagement. But if you just need to make some fast cash, it’s good for that until you can find something better. The camp food is marginal at best, the camp has a lot of weird rules.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Day or night. And all seasons like

I’ve worked as a security guard at the Giant Mine site day shift,and my supervisor was so lazy,and unprofessional,very laid back always on their phones sitting back on the security seat talking about their personal life issues. Please keep personal issues at home. I was like hey I don’t get paid enough for this,so I walked out!

I've been working with Scarlet security for about 6 months now and have had the opportunity to see the ins and outs of the  company and how it operates.
They are professional in their service delivery and work fairly with their employees. I would recommend working with them. 

Amateur at best. Low pay and overworked. No training. The supervisors are worthless and the manager that I dealt with was untrained, did not know their responsibilities and was generally clueless.

Definately better companies out there.

Former employee of Scarlett Security. On a two week rotation 7 employees quit. The management is unorganized and does not communicate effectively amongst the guards. If you can run, you must certainly should. The amount of drama between interpersonal relationships is unbelievable. Pay is well below the industry standard. No paid travel time.

I have been working for this company for more than five months and the good part of it is, I am able to do my studies while working. 

HOW DO YOU STUDY WHILE WORKING? 
I always prefer to work nights so that I can go to school from morning until 12:00.
