Thomas Protective Svc

Was taken off the schedule for pretty much lollygagging, but due to them not finding no one to take my place....I am still working there. Works for me. more

I'll make this brief. I'm an army iraq vet that is looking to get into a career in law enforcement. I started working for Thomas Protective in July of 2008. I worked as an armed security officer at the Bloomington, IL Pilot travel center, a high-crime area. During my tenure of employment, my co-worker and I stopped several crimes in progress and our efforts led to two Pilot employees getting fired for shoplifting. We did our best to do our jobs for 11.00 ph. (I only made 10 ph instead of the promised 11) Bottom line: our paychecks were frequently two to three days late. We had to pay for uniforms out of pocket and our requisitons for uniforms and equipment were ignored. The company did not supply me with the adequate credentials I needed to carry a firearm in a security capacity in IL and would not do anything to remedy this, despite several complaints and emails I sent over the course of six months. They asked me to knowingly violate the law or work unarmed in a dangerous area. When I refused, I was fired. Needless to say, I won the unemployment claim. Don't work for this company!!!! They do not give a rat's ass about their employees! more

Yes I'm writing this review to let people know every where that this company is a waste of time. first of all I've worked for this company for 6 months and i had worked 7 day s a week 10 hours a day because of the lack of employment and then my car brakes down because of the power steering hose so they tell me if i don't come in on my off day then i'm fired so the manager tells me he is going to come and get me but he never how up so the next day I call and know body picks up the phone so after that I'm fired and when I receive my check they don't give me all my hours and then they short my pay so I recommend no body to work for mr. Thomas...... more
