Security Officer

"This is the absolute worst company to work for. Management steals from its own associates and their clients. The Myrtle Beach region is run by crooks who severely mistreat their associates. They do not pay for all hours worked or provide meal breaks at our location. Corporate allows this behavior even when presented with the facts. The regional management team takes associates "out of pocket" company expenses and submits them on their own expense reports and then pockets the money themselves. They do not care about true work performance, only that you agree with them when they lie, cheat and steal from other associates and never testify against them or you will be next. They run everything by fear and intimidation and knowing Myrtle Beach is a hard place to find employment. If you have been through similar illegal and unfair employment practices working for US Security Associates, please pm me on Facebook to join in our class action law suit and other actions we are taking."
