Very Postive environment to work in
Security Supervisor (Former Employee) - Scarborough, ON - 21 April 2018
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedI really enjoyed working with the company. The best part of the job was night patrols as I like to check guards doing their job properly at night but at the same time it was the hardest part of job as sometime it was very challenging to find the missing guard at site. The overall working culture was very healthy and I have learnt good management skills from the job.
