Garda Security Employer Reviews

for the time i was with Garda it was a good place to work people were nice, and good hours

I worked in the west gate trailer, where I would do typical admin work, but I also got to work out in the field and in camp!
I learned that I could handle 12 hour shifts, and keep myself busy even on very slow nights.
Management and co-workers were constantly changing.
Hardest part of the job was wearing the uniform, because It was a dress shirt and – more... dress pants - on an oil site.
Most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people from different companies, and learning a lot about the plant. – less

Plenty of areas to work in with Garda and plenty of cities to choose from.

My duties kept me quite busy and the reporting at the end of each shift completed the time. My co-workers were excellent to work with and we were definitely a team.

One of the most rewarding companies to work for, they have been really great towards myself and I have had a great experience.

As a Garda Security employee, every shift we take is a typical day at work, we continue to work responsibly and learn from our everyday experience. With a Good management around us, we are able to perform our tasks and duties very well. Every employee or colleague of the agency have different background, points of view and personality, but through Garda – more... we are able to set aside our differences and work together as a team to attain our goals regarding our duty and adhere to the mission and vision of the company. – less

A typical day would be finding guards to cover open shifts and last minute bookoffs. I also create schedules 1 month at a time and distribute to all guards.
Management has changed 3 times since I've been there so I can't comment on them.
My co-workers are friendly and fun.
The hardest part of the job is when there aren't enough shifts to go around so – more... some guards can be quite upset if I have no where to send them.
The most enjoyable part of this job is when I make the guards happy with what I have available for them. They are incredibly grateful. – less

working for garda has been a great experience. the staff is wonderful especially the HR rep. she was extremely helpful and went to all lengths to make sure i had employment when times were slow

Long Hours, untrained staff, unorganized, Great for a summer job or if you are a student.

Its interesting,because you never know how your shift will be going,also it all depends on which post or site you will be placed.
I've learned to think about my safety first,and my fellow agents but also how to react to certain situations,like suicide attemp,cardiac arrest,violent person,crisis preventions,etc...

The hardest part of my job was when – more... i needed to put my own self aside to be able to help someone else,because you wanna be there for them and tell them how you think,but as an agent you have to separate the two's to be able to give the right help as needed.
The most enjoyable part of my job was and is when at the end of my day,I know i made a difference in helping someone that needed my attention and help. – less

Daily activities include monitoring cameras, patrolling premises, and making sure entrances and exits are locked. I learned to work as a team, and independently, as well as how security can prevent crime, and could help in case of a fire or an alarm. The people I work with are great, mainly work alone, but sometimes with individuals who are motivated – more... and help represent Garda to its fullest. Hardest part of the job would be standing for 12 hour shifts. Most enjoyable part of the job is knowing that safety and security is provided, being part of the team is also one of the best things about the job. – less

I really enjoyed working for AT Systems / Garda the only problem was the pay.Miss working with management.

Makes all kinds of promises an in the end stabs you in the back, weekly pay not on time,it's all about money for them.
The best parts obout the job was when you didn't have to deal with management.

Great Company to work for. Showed me that hard work was seen and offers of advancement. Great staff that really cared for their employees that definitely made a long lasting great impression and standard foe how a security company should be utilized.
