Working at Whelan Security in Los Angeles, CA: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Los Angeles, CA Area

"The company takes way too long to hire and they are beyond unorganized. They have issues with outdated software for the computer testing you have to take. I literally had to do the same test over 200 times and spend over 40 hours doing it since they refused to fix their program. I had to bypass it by downgrading my computer. On top of that I was promised I would get more than 12 hours per week. It is now month 5. Not only did the supervisor give me a hard time during the past 5 months, I'm now getting harassed for not having the very specific shoe model and serial number. I have work boots already but it has to be their boots. The company cannot provide you with the proper gear yet they want you to spend 200 bucks on shoes. That doesn't make sense as well since the place you work at is so filthy and always smells like pee during a cold day. It smells like poop when it rains. Anyway, tried to tell the supervisor that the shoes I have are boots and help with foot pain. Also told him my bills come 1st, especially since he has not honored his agreement of more hours. He tells me to stop the drama, get the shoes or don't come to work. Never had a supervisor tell me to not care about my bills before or speak to me in an unprofessional way. As I write this already looking for a new job. This is not a good company to work for. They lie way to much and waste your time. I'm not spending 200 bucks on shoes especially when the job site is so dirty. I was straight up with the supervisors about what I was looking for and what my goals are. They don't give a flying $%#@!. Don't say this review didn't warn you. You have been warned."

"Not sure if this is a good company to work for. So you must fill a 3 hour app out. Then talk to 2 supervisors for 2 hours. After that take a 2 hour test. Then wait 4 days before you can talk to the supervisors again. It takes about 2 months. But here's the odd part. When you try and schedule to meet up for the 6th interview they don't return your calls. The number they call you on doesn't exist. They are just as bad and misleading as Universal Protection."
