Oxford Properties Group Reviews

Pros

Very close to human company, I feel really lucky to work for them! They listen to their employees and they put them at the front!

Cons

I've been working for them for less than a year, everything is great, I have no cons to say, and I'm being 100% honnest, it is an EXCELLENT company to work for, and I've been working for other company in real estate before!

Pros

Overtime : 16 hours of overtime per week. Something you wouldn't find anywhere else security wise. Arrests : Yes it's true we make alot of arrests here, not as much as you would if you were LP but it will help you in 'experience' and such. Benefits: Very generous benefits Short shifts: 8 hours shifts, compared to the industry's standard 10-12. Free Stuff And Food: Some Restaurants give you free food if they like you, sometimes you can get 1-on-1 hookups/services at stores like starbucks, Donato Salon etc if you are nice. Sometimes big stores will give discounts to all guards. *Hiring Advantage*: We are preferred Candidates for Toronto Police and it's other services including Toronto Housing. (Parking, Court, Housing, Bylaw etc). Other services dont give a flying something, generally, people who leave can get onto the subscribed above without much effort. Dialogue Series: If you are good at corporate games you can win 10$ gift cards. Unionized: You'll never be fired unless you break the law. Good Pension: Same as police. Pay Scale: Excellent wages for the position provided.

Cons

Politics: Alot of bickering and the managers arent in control only corporate is. Training: Non-existant, the current tests and training are useless and that's the ONLY training we get. No follow-ups except for handcuffs and first aid. Write ups: They are usually frivilous are done out of spite to the workers I can attest. Supply: Terrible radios never being fixed, often new people are issued small/broken/damaged equipment. No inline belt provided but exterior belt is... One Sided: If you're accused of something by anyone, management will take their side and won't give two somethings about your side of the story. Retention: Management fails to hold members for long peroids of time and has a high turnover rate. Culture: People are racist, swear and are more worried about themselves rather than the team in most cases. Hiring Process: Very long and focused on english speakers only, giving a disadvantage to non native speakers. Bias: Management is very bias and favors those who kiss up to them. Dishonest: The management is constantly dishonest with the employees and there have been various ethics and human rights complaints in regards to this but nothing seems to be done.

Pros

Job itself can be rewarding when your work is recognized. Relaxed workplace to be in most of the time.

Cons

Management has gone through a complete turnover and company culture has severely declined. Management will downright lie and use you, then dispose of you once they’re done. Beware of their act, it is all fake — stay far away, the low wage isn’t worth it.

Pros

Great people, amazing benefits plan, wellness allowance ($500 annually), education assistance

Cons

Organizational structure becoming more top-heavy with executives since new leadership began Succession planning makes it impossible to move up if you're not part of the plan
