Independent Security Services Atlantic & Independent Armored Transport Atlantic (ISS & IAT INC.)

Worst company ever, if you like not being paid overtime illegally and working it this is the place for you. The low wage of 14 an hour compared to other company’s is a joke the company steals you’re money in “training pay” every two weeks you will work 50 to 60 hours a week for nothing. The benefits are garbage and you pay 100 percent and the company does not match. The company is so desperate for people they had a competition with the employees to write good reviews about them to make them looks good on social media platforms but hey if this review does not change your mind go work for them you will regret it. There is so much more I could say!

I started with this company over a year ago now as an LPO . There is good and bad in this line of work, as in any job we decide to do. I can say in my own experience with this company they are always there for me. And have treated me as an equal. Not just a number. Some things need improvement but can be fixed by just having communication. The management team at I. S. S. A. make the tough decisions they need to. For our clients and staff. Sometimes good sometimes not so good. But most definitely for the best. Keep up the good fight and be proud to be part of this growing family.

I have been with the company now for just over 4 years, I started from the bottom doing uniformed guard, my manager at the time asked me to give Loss Prevention a try I was nervous but I tried it and excelled in it very rapidly! I was recognized as employee of the year my first year here and given a beautiful plaque! The General Manager (who hands down is one of the best, fair, and honest bosses I have ever had) approached me asking me to lead up and manage the Loss Prevention team which I took with open arms and grew it and developed some amazing LPOs over the years 2 years ago I was then moved into the position combining the Loss Prevention and security divisions as one I am now Operations Manager of it all. I love my job and my employees and never thought I would have been given such a high position for such a reputable company at the age of 22...Lawrence and Shawn both saw potential in me and went on a limb to try me in the position..well just over 2 years I'm still going strong we are still growing and all learning together! Working here is more than just a job it's a team, a family, a young energetic ever rapidly growing home! I couldn't ask for a better place to work!

I've been working with ISS for about 3 months now. Honestly speaking it's not always been great like with any job out there. But however I really do like the manager and flexibility of scheduling, you pretty much choose when you wanna work and when you need days off and a sheet for that is always provided with your schedule bi-weekly.I work mostly as LPO which can be dragging but the job has its pros and cons, not an easy job but it's not impossible as long as you have the right mindset. Some people complain about it but you know exactly what you are signing up for before the first shift. Of course just from hearing about it sounds great, but so does you get 50% discount as an employee at MacDonalds" in until you work there.For some of the things I don't like. It would be paying for training if I don't attend

There might be some bad things about this company, like the low wages and sometimes long hours, especially at some locations they seem really long, and sometimes you have to keep your schedule flexible.. and like some people mentioned, you have to pay for your equipment. And what I personally really didn't like was that if you had two back to back shifts you didn't get paid for the hour in between which was also pretty much spent for the company travelling from one store to another.. but what those people failed to mention is that despite all this, the management does a lot to ensure the employees don't get burdened. I have myself seen the manager taking on some shifts himself for employees who called in sick since there wasn't anyone else to cover. And I have myself been cut some slack a couple of times for calling in sick at the very last moment. And company also helps you with the equipment by letting you get them on nominal monthly installments coming out of your pay so you don't get burdened.And one example that really shows the character of this company and it's top brass is when I got a call for another job where i had to start training in 2days time. And although the company was short on staff at that time and I was legally bound to give 2weeks notice, they still let me leave. I was asked to cover just my first week's shifts, some of which my colleagues did for me around their schedule and the others I covered myself. and I got that job. I still work here part time, and they have been flexible enough to work around my schedule. And this is just one of the examples from my own personal experience working here. There's another example which I can't mention here due to it's business confidential nature, but suffice to say, the company had my back when I needed it. And I'm pretty sure others working here would at least attest to that.The key thing to remember is, as you sow so shall you reap!!If you'll be honest, flexible and loyal, that is exactly what you'll get in return here(at least that's what I've noticed)

I have been with this company for 11 years now. Started as a security officer and Armed Guard back in 2005!! I have had many experiences and have been provided many opportunities to grow and expand my career into what it is today! We have become quite a large family. Lawrence Conrad has been a mentor but most of all has become a part of my family and a very close friend. He has always provided me with guidance and direction to aid in my successes. The company as well as Lawrence has always fostered growth for individuals and invests time into those willing to learn and grow, going that extra mile to ensure his staff achieve their goals and doing what he can to see them off into successful law enforcement careers!We are not perfect but are always improving, learning and educating ourselves and our staff!!

I am employed by ISSA as an LPO and have been working there for about 2 months now and so far i have really enjoyed the job and the pay is pretty ok for just starting out. one thing i like is that i can always talk to my manager about any concerns I have and he always helps me to his full extent. i will now list what i think the pros and cons are with this job.Pros -- Decent pay- Amazing Hours- Amazing Management- Easy to book time off- Easy to move around in the company- Great Experience for new security guards.Cons -- You pay for training even if you don't go- Pay for uniform- People Screaming profanities at you- People Physically Abusing you- No Self Defense Weapons (Ex. Baton, hand cuffs, Etc.- Days can get super long when double booked.- Usually you are alone. (some of you might think this is a pro" not a "con" but from my experience its a "con")The People that you catch stealing are not always cooperative. And can get very violent and you don't have anything other than your hands to protect your self. But all in all I do like this job and i hope to try everything that they have to offer."

I have been with this company for well over 5 years now. It takes a lot to keep a company running and team work is the most important. We consider everyone that works here as family. I love the fact that people come to work for us to get the beginnings they need to work towards thier future goals and succeed whether it be rcmp, military, border services or where even thier dreams are. We encourage all to make the best out of themselves and to build confidence. Definitely a good place to work !

I have been working for the company now a year.I have worked in two decisions LPO\security and now Parking Enforcement. I find the people i work with are a great bunch of people and the management fare and easy to work with.The only issue i have is being diabetic the company has no medical plan,it cost me to pay for medication out of pocket and being insulin dependent can not get a medical plan.There is a lot of chance of advancement and growth, you just need to like every company work for it.

Been here for a few years now, It's a great company to work for. Very flexible schedule if you need certain days off for school and or family matters that may occur at any time. Having kids myself it makes things a lot easier to work for people who are family oriented and are understanding when it comes down to my children if I need time off when they are sick they will do what it takes to fill shifts so you don't have to worry aboUT your job and can focus on your kids.
