Emerald Security Group

If I could give negative 10 stars I would. This place is the worst place I have ever worked at in my 35 years of being in the work force. The CEO (he may not have that title anymore as the company just got bought) Mark Grant is a snake oil salesman at best. He will tell you what you want to hear and will never, ever deliver!
I first met Mark about 5 years ago through a mutual friend. I expressed to Mark that I had an interest in doing Executive Protection work. He told me he would send me to shooters and drivers schools. He went on and on about all the work he would get me. To this day crickets.
Just about two years ago, my wife and I moved to Phoenix. I got in touch with Mark and, to his credit, he gave me a job doing recruiting at $ 11 an hour. He went on to tell mange that once I got my guard cards he would make me an account manager. I would be making $ 50K to $ 55K a year! I was psyched!
Mark pencil whipped me through the guard classes and paid for them. I was very grateful for that. He later took the money out of my check WITHOUT telling me!
I did the recruiting work with little success. My guard cards arrived. I asked Mark about the account manager position. He told me he wanted mgs to get some experience first. Ok, fair enough.
A couple of months of working odd posts later, I approached him yet again about the position. He said to me with a conspiratorial tone, «Well you’re gonna be working with security guards» like it was a bad thing!
After talking with several other guards, I discovered that many of them were promised management positions just like I was.
I finally got a permanent post working downtown 50 hours a week. I got a raise to $ 13 an hour. Not great but not bad. I was at this post for over a year. Everyone was thrilled with my performance.
Two of the ladies that worked there lied about my dealing with a crazy homeless person. The next thing I know I was removed from my post. My pay was cut with no notice! Several paychecks were mailed to the wrong address, which is rather interesting because it is all automated.
I know from first hand experiences that posts are not manned the way the client expects it to be much less pays for. The field guys are a pretty good lot all in all but Mark ia snake oil. Do not work here and do not do business with them.
