They don't train you @ all the sites supervisors will leave you @ a post claiming to come train you. They pay women 9.00 some men 10 some men 11 dollar's. If they decide to fire you they will doc your pay to 7.25. I wonder what OSHA has to say about this. Poor Values, Not professional.

So far, this is a good place to work. The managers and the owner seem to care about the employees. Lots of incentives for motivation. Good place to move up in the company

Every company has its pros and cons. Paradigm is no different. But at this company the pros far outweigh the cons. Everyone complains about the START pay of $9/ hour but what they neglect to mention are the promotional opportunities and advancement opportunities. Starting at 3 months, you start getting raises after taking a short training course. I believe raise opportunities are at months 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18.

And with those raises come promotions up to lieutenant rank. Management apparently saw potential in me and promoted after only a month and a half. More of those pros: free training, variety of sites from construction to banks to apartments, overtime is awesome, holiday pay is awesome, they give out Christmas bonuses, management will bend over backwards to help their employees in need whenever possible, it's a small company so no corporate bs, and much more.

My coworkers and managers are awesome. Cons: they will let this job suck your soul until you set boundaries, it's and easy burnout job, some sites are a ways out but if it's excessively far hour and a half-2 hours they'll compensate an extra buck an hour. Most of the complainers are complaining about driving 40 minutes which is about average from my house to all the sites.

Some of the patrol cars could use a paint job. The pay could be better but it is low average so technically you can't say we're underpaid and as mentioned before, they ain't stingy on the raises, you just gotta earn it.

Company pays 9hr making their employees drive to work 50 miles without gas reimbursements, they hire anyone they can even convicted felons and drug addicts, their unarmed sites are dangerous and most of their officers cannot even get blue card but still carry firearms illegally

Terrible pay. They try to make you believe all their contracts only pay $9 hour. no matter how far, no matter who the company is. Minimum wage $7.25.paradigm security $9, difference $1.75. They will not help with gas to go to these long distance sites either. Typical "wright to work state company".
