Avante Security Employee Reviews for Security Officer

Not your average security position. Very attractive and luxurious on the outside! Very demanding and competitive on the inside! Was ecstatic to join the team as a new hire, was re assured I would be valued. Was told I was recruited at a interstellar period in time for the company. I Felt otherwise during Covid-19. I needed this! This job is active and high performance! Your average security guard is posted. Multiply that by 100 (more or less) at Avante! This job is a challenge and requires a lot of responsibility! Lots of pressure and deadlines, quotas to be met. Even more tense amongst some sort of political health pandemic. Nevertheless, purpose and kept busy! Lots of setbacks from Covid-19. Job considerably more dangerous and restrictions in place. Vague instruction for detail at times, procedure didn't seem consistent at times. Did not get introduced to the company appropriately. Got thrown into the field with basic training, had to learn 100% along the way. No formal introductions. Some training was missed. My evaluations went forgotten. Great title and role to play in the community. From my perspective and dealings in the field, their technology could be better. Should value and respect their frontline more, they are the crown jewel of their package(s) for clientele. Nonetheless scary encounters without warning such as vicious guard dogs(that will hurt you) of clients(who have been described unfairly) from management(who talks a lot of trash) exploiting the clients paranoia and needs for safety and security at times. A lot at stake. Not an easy -

Pros

Their vehicles, Wages, Hours

Not bad

Executive Security Operative (Current Employee) - Etobicoke, ON - 12 April 2020

Avante gave me a good site to work at. They gave me a day shift with good hours and consistent hours. I was given adequate time off every 2 or 3 days of work I would have at least 2 days off. I thank you for keeping me employed.

Mobile Security Officer (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 23 July 2019

If your a lazy person who likes to sit in a car and do nothing then this isn't the company for you. Hasn't been a year and I've moved up once and can do it again. People who complain about long hours have never done mobile work before because all companies require 12 hrs from you. Best company hands down from all I've been in for the last 10yrs in the industry.
