The hiring process is a scam - READ CAREFULLY - Anonymous employee Paladin Security Group Employee Review

Dangerous/uncomfortable/rigorous work for peanuts pay. It’s a Russian roulette, if you know the right manager to butter up you can sit free all day playing games on phone, if you are a newbie with no diplomacy means you will find yourself in patrolling positions walking very long distances and often in potentially risky environments. The hiring process is a scam and preys on the fact that a lot of applicants are new to country and don’t really know laws or their rights. They will pay for your training IF you pass, and IF you retain employment with them for six months full time or 9 months part time. Whether or not you will remain employed is up to them and you still have to pay them training. When you visit their office they tell everyone if you quit after finishing classes/licensing and being employed (which I am assuming is being actually posted to a position and start working) you will be liable to pay the training back if you quit before bond period. But they will also MAKE YOU PAY IF YOU SIMPLY SIGN UP WITH THEM and didn’t even go through these steps. I don’t even see how this is legal, as even the contract doesn’t state this clearly. And this is where I assume they prey on unsuspecting new students/immigrants etc. to cough up money when it isn’t even enforceable by scaring them with wording that they owe money. I think this company needs a solid lawsuit (or a few) to bring its shady practice to light. I don’t see how else the HR is able to collect money in this way unless it’s getting a nod of approval from upper management.
