Superviy (Former Employee) – Thunder Bay – 21 March 2017
I have worked in management for many Canadian and worldwide companies. and this is by far the worst most disorganized company I have ever worked for. Don't waste your time
I also acted as an assistant (Former Employee) – Trail, BC – 6 March 2017
Doing a years worth of filing has benefits to learn new skills such as administrative duties and basic security. casual work environment due to long hours, everyone was friendly.
IT Technician (Former Employee) – Campbell River, BC – 5 October 2016
Management team seems disorganised, no clear direction given. No understanding of what's going on. Unrealistic deadlines for tasks. Everyone for themselves attitude, no team environment.
The job is very good and rewarding, but the management is not very conscious about employees needs and job environment, the problem is that supervisors/managers don't really care about the employees' needs, the training they provide is not enough to do your job at satisfactory level.
Security Guard/Reception (Current Employee) – Thunder Bay, ON – 11 August 2016
In the year that I have worked with Safety Net I have been able to experience working in various sites. I have been trained in several sites all over the city and have gotten to enjoy working in a fluid environment. The office staff is always accommodating and helpful.
Exciting busy environment. Never a long drawn out day.
Office Manager Accounting (Current Employee) – Thunder Bay, ON – 4 August 2016

Gas Tester - Manhole Attendant (Former Employee) – Thunder Bay, ON – 2 March 2016
Worked a temporary contract for an industrial shutdown project. Advertising for the position was very clear that management was offering a fair wage and a lot of hours for a temporary job, and expected employees hold themselves to a standard reflective of the potential wages. Managers and supervisors were very approachable and handled the project well. Employees that did not take their duties seriously were offered a slim second chance, and if needed, were removed without hesitation. Office staff are very approachable and knowledgeable.
Security Guard (Former Employee) – Trail, BC – 22 February 2016
I'm not sure about the other Safety Net locations but Trail is absolutely appalling, The management will promise you the world when you enter and tell you how they are there for you and promise wage increases. Then you start working for them and your training is near non existent for one of the most hazardous industrial sites in BC. They will try to put you down every chance they get and if you are seen conversing with a security guard of another company your hours will disappear. and good luck getting a wage increase and be sure to watch your pay stubs on many occasions they do not pay accordingly to BC laws.on top of that the conduct of the management is outright unacceptable, on multiple occasions management has been seen openly discussing how useless and worthless other employees are in public. The only good thing about this place are some of the other guards are the most supportive and helpful co workers i've ever worked with.
Receptionist/Office Assistant (Former Employee) – Campbell River, BC – 20 October 2015
A fast passed and challenging head office for two very busy companies. A fun place to work with great employees and colleagues. Room to grow and take on new challenges with seasonal change , never a dull moment.
Security Guard (Former Employee) – Trail BC – 11 September 2015
I worked with safety net for a good while, and I have to say that the management (at the time) was wonderful. They were helpful when needed, and very easy to approach if a situation came up. I also really appreciated the fact that, being a woman, if I ever had a concern with part of my job, or there was any type of risk, one of the men working there would step up and help any of the women out without hesitation. It was a great place to work, and I'd happily have gone back, however my family has since relocated.
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 26 March 2015

Very little time experience with this company to offer a full real opinion.
Security personel (Current Employee) – Canmore, AB – 9 February 2015
I was only working for this company for 1 paycheque before another company won the contract, thus my experience with this company was not very extensive.
Pros
they did pay ontime
Cons
Contract only lasted 1 paycheque before contract was bought out by new security company
Data entry of payroll/billing for Northern Alberta (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 11 September 2014
I would consider working there again There is a variety of people working for the company. Which made it interesting, though some of the accents were difficult for me to understand.
Security Guard/ Administration (Current Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 11 March 2014
This job requires a lot of attention to details. Freindly environment to work, the staff is a pleasure to work with. The only downfall is that there are no benefit coverage.
Temporary Laborer (Former Employee) – Campbell River, BC – 8 November 2012
Typical day was sweeping, lifting boxes, building shelving and learning the value of organization. Rarely did i see management as it was not needed for them to be there. There was no hard parts about the job and it was an enjoyable learning experience.
Security Guard (Former Employee) – Campbell River, BC – 18 June 2012
foot patrols around malls, harbors, and fire scenes. the law and procedures. typical management, good comradeship with co-workers. the hardest part is dealing everyday trials in the public eye and trying to be a good citizen that holds up to the nature of the law. most enjoyable part is meeting people and seeing new locations.
