1st security

They are a ripoff! They have no conscience! They send you to places where they tell you "We have no openings right now". They deserve to be torched to the ground!

This company is a rip-off. A scam. They call you, ask you your credentials, and then tell you to come in for an interview the following day.



One quick search on the internet revealed that they do this to SELL YOU classes. The interview is a ploy used by them to tell you that they "might" be able to use your services "if" you had other certifications or skills. That's when the sales pitch begins.



Even someone with all the necessary credentials and years of experience as a security guard/officer is told that they need to take one of the classes. They sucker people in by promising higher than average wages and job placement upon completion of their ridiculously priced packaged classes.



Its important to note that NONE of this is mentioned over the phone. The goal is to get people to travel to the interview in Manhattan. Once they are there most figure "Well I am already here .. so i might as well consider ..".



Word of advice: No legitimate security job is going to ask you to spend money to get a job. Either you are qualified(8 hour pre assignment, 16 hour on the job, two 8 hour annuals) or you are not. Some places in the city may want you to have a fire guard certificate of fitness, but that is not necessary to actually work as a security guard in NY state.



There are a lot of places just like this. The woman I spoke to admitted to me on the phone "This is a 'you help me/I help you' situation. If you don't take a course with us, we CANNOT get you a job."



This admission of course came only after I called back after researching their company and flat out asked if I was qualified for the position or would I be required to take their "extra" classes before being considered.



Be careful out there. These kinds of places know people are looking for work and prey on them. I know a few retired NYPD who even got suckered by places like this.

Don't get fool by the name this is 1st Security go reed the reviews for it. I stress this to whoever reads this. DO not waste your time, energy & money at this place. Get one star because no star is allow.

If you are a serious apllicant looking for work do NOT come here. NO hiring at this place for both unarmed and armed sercity guards. NO placement you will get send around & around, lose your money and go aroud for nothing. This Incorporation has taken me for just about $1,550.00 for armed guard. I stress this to whoever reads this. DO not waste your time, energy & money at this place. Do NOT go here, this place is a SCAM. Get one star because that is the lowest I can give.

do not go here,they cheat your money,they cheat yours money and sent you around,the class is all joke,all of them are cheat,again and agai do not come to this place,you will lost your money and go aroud for nothing,

This wouldn't be able to get on the site if I didn't put a star. I wouldn't even give them the remains or dust of a star. This Incorporation has taken me for just about $800.00 and none of my courses were completed. So, for anyone seeking a great and not lousy lack of service, I stress this to whoever reads this. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, ENERGY, STRENGTH, AND ESPECIALLY YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY AT THIS SCHOOL.

DO NOT GO HERE, THIS PLACE SEEM LIKE A SCAM
