I worked for Pacific County Security for 4 years. I thought they were a good company. I even agreed with their low income philosophy, low wages makes sure everyone shows up everyday. When I quit my job I gave a three week notice but the day after I quit I get a phone call to go to the office. Once there I was asked how much it would take for me to stay. ?? I found out later that my current site had been giving extra money to PCS every year to pass on to me as a raise which PCS pocketed. When the customer found out I quit bec... read more

Out standing company, exampleofgood business – I was an employee of Pierce County Security. They are honest and keep their word. At no time did I ever feel as if I was left out to dry on a site or un safe.this cant be said of other companies. they treat their employees with the same respect and dignity as their clients. If Istill lived in wa this company would be my first choice for my security or as an employee. Shame on you to those who bad mouth the wellers,they are great people who work hard

Honesty Integrity and Value – There are plenty of security companies out there. Most come and go and some are certainly better than others. Pierce county Security had been serving the Puget Sound Region since 1927. That's a pretty long time. They wouldn't have lasted this long if they didn't know how to get the job done and at competitive cost. Most companies get by by giving their guards the minimum training required by the State. Not at PCS. PCS gives its officers training far above and beyond what is required and is an in... read more

In my opinion – I worked here for a short time after I got out of the military. I never had any problems with them and they always treated me very good.

Always good for me – I worked as a guard for over 3 years and then got hired by the place I worked at. Now I am the client for PCS and have only good things to say about them. Family owned and it shows. No company can do a perfect job but PCS does and is still doing a good job for our office. Bless all in the name of our Lord.

A real Review – After reading the “reviews” I just had to write a real one. I have been with this company twice. Prior to my last deployment and again once I got back to Ft. Lewis. They have never once shorted me or cheated me in any way. Yea the wages are low but they told me that right up front and that’s true for all security work in this area. I noticed that all the bad reviews are from EX employees., figures doesn’t it. Well I am a current employee, retired military and a proud member of the PCS team. Tell me one other ... read more

Bad company to work for – This company is not great to work for. I worked there for several years, and the only reason I stuck with them was due to their flexibility with schedules. I needed this with school. The pay however is just outrageously low at an average rate of 8.50/hr, there is no seniority with sites, you get what you get. I was told in the beginning that you can work your way up.... That was false, I applied many times for a vehicle patrol but never got it. I have experience with handling and working around guns... read more

Would Never Use Again – I got guards that were old men, slept on duty and had terrible body oder. I would spend more money next time and get a better company.

Lowest salaries in the industry – I worked for Pierce County and the people I worked for were really nice people, but I was making about $8.50 per hour on most sites. I was told that because it was Pierce county the pay was lower. I found out other companies in Pierce county pay an average of $10.00. With Pierce county you had to really work hard to find a site that paid $10.00, like the welfare office Tacoma or Seattle. I would work for them again, but would recommend other companies if money is the reason you work.
