Good place to start off
Concierge/Security Guard (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 2 February 2019
Enjoyed working here, just never got a permanent site so I had to leave. They pay minimum wage unless you work at some of their special sites and most of their site are in Toronto. One con is scheduling will always try to force you to still come in even when you're sick but at the end of the day you just have to know how to handle them and put your foot down then eventually they'll get it and leave you to enjoy your sick day.
Pros
You basically make your shifts if you are a floater
Cons
No permanent site, scheduling is too persistent sometimes
bad

Night shift Senior Concierge (Former Employee) – The Heathview tweedsmuir – 17 January 2019
I don't know if there is worse but my experience with Regal was not satisfactory. In security if a guard is absent without notification you must stay for their shift as well. This happened often and my calls wouldn't be answered by the company whenever this happened. I've done many 16 hour shifts with absolutely no resolution.
Pros
Some sites have great residents.
Cons
Everything else.
do not work for this company
Site Supervisor (Current Employee) – downtown toronto – 3 December 2018
no one respects your personal time at scheduling they ask if you can stay longer and do not take "no" as an answer, i told them that i cannot stay longer one day yet they forced me to and did not even call me to notify me that i am to stay an hour and a half after i originally ended my shift , they hire not the brightest people who you cannot be trained, all guards are always late i have never seen a less professional workplace. got promoted to supervisor yet my pay remained the same, they call us superheros yet cannot get their act together, embarrassing to say the least. scheduling will yell and argue with you on the phone unit you take the shift it is ridiculous how little respect they have for others.
Pros
none
Cons
everything
It was an decent place to work at
Front Desk Concierge (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 29 November 2018
I really liked the site I worked at, co-workers, management and resident were really nice. The most difficult thing about the job was working with other guards that weren't punctual and didn't show up for their shifts.
Fun for Beginners
Front Desk Staff (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 30 October 2018

Pros

Pay is low - Please give little Hike to it
great as a starter job
Security Guard (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 20 October 2018
Regal is good at taking on people with little to no experience most of the management is awesome they don't have much when it comes to location and they mainly serve the condo spectrum if your looking for an easy going steady pace then Regal is for you. Pay wise.....well if you're looking for something to support your family then look elsewhere. My overall experience with Regal hasn't been great thus far but I'm sure to someone else they're amazing.
Good company to work for
Security Guard (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 20 September 2018
Great people to work for.They are always giving out shifts so theres never a situation where you will stay home for more than a day or two. Very professional and business minded internal workers
Work place culture and good learning place
Security Site Supervisor (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 1 September 2018
A productive and good environment to work
I learned a lot from the different site
the hardest part of the job is 12-hour shift
the most enjoyable part is to meet people

They dont care about the employees. Always do what best suits them.
Concierge (Current Employee) – Scarborough, ON – 1 September 2018
Dont choose this company. I have worked with many other guards who are stuck in this company for more than 6 years and their pay is still almost the same with a dollar increase. The scheduling team is so unprofessional and never cares about your personal life.
it is a good company to work with

Condo Concierge (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 3 May 2018
Took notes on observations and watched the surveillance cameras. communicated with residents from the condominium. Communicated through a radio and contributed to a team effort. The most enjoyable part of the job was communicating with a large range of personalities.
Excellent experience
Private Security Guard ( Concierge- Front desk) (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 3 April 2018
My part time job with regal security is wonderfull, helped me to enhance my communication skills and gain confidence on my own words. The front desk experience helped me to enhance my computer usage skills.
Pros
Always listen to workers
Cons
Nothing
meh
Concierge/Security Guard (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 23 January 2018
i would say this is a standard security company, you will be called in for extra hours alot, and they will argue with you until you hang up.
you will likely be moved from sight to sight unless you are a politician, currently they are paying $14 or just above so the same as everyone.
Its very hard to be fired, but you can be moved around, dont expect your hard work to be noticed, it wont be.
Management is a joke, they dont listen to your concerns at all and will tell other managers about it.
This company made me want to leave security.

Great Team to work for!
Supervisor (Current Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 22 November 2017
Regal Security Inc. has been a great company to work for. The owners and management team genuinely care about the business and the people that are working for them.
At the end of the day, this is security guarding. It is not an easy sector to work in, long hours at entry level wages can be detracting. Yet, Regal does show that it is a place if you put in the time and the effort, you can rise fast in the company.
They recognize people all the time with awards, promotions and gifts.
For a company that is growing, they will be big player in the next few years.

Great Company
Security Supervisor (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 21 November 2017
Regal Security is hands down one of the best security companies in the GTA to work for. To start off, they offer many different types of sites and schedules for you to work (i.e commercial vs residential and F/T vs Floating). They pay their employees well (their rates are competitive for all other companies). The management team is amazing! At no other company are they so invested and care about all their employees. Scheduling is the best! They are very understanding and work with you to make sure you get the best out of the company. If you are looking for a job with a company that cares - go with Regal. You will not be disappointed.
