Supportive staff creates a sense of belonging, but forms need improvement - Current Employeee Walden Security Employee Review

I like the job site where I work at But like anybody else, we're behind times when it comes to compensation.. The contract is up for renewal in January. The property management loves us.Only would they be appalled knowing what we get paid.

Promotion from within. The last manager. She didn't know what the security officers, what we did or how we did it. I've been here 4 years and have yet not even asked if I would consider a management job. Like a field supervisor I'm very capable and knowledgeable. How Walden functions? It seems like if you're a popular security officer.They offer them the position before they even look at other people.I jump on that in a heartbeat.If asked, I have so much to give walden, but i'm being withheld because i'm not in the click.

From the start, I was """"over the moon"""" when I discovered Walden Culture valued our Officers over any client (within reason). Focus on Officer safety and more importantly, MORAL - over the money being paid to Walden; this illustrated to me that Walden is doing our industry correctly! As it should be; Setting the STANDARD! When I first came to walden I had a particular version of how the Security Industry operated. Walden showed me it could be so much better and, in my view, correct with integrity, honor, duty, and respect!

In my humble opinion, there needs to be a shake up with leadership, on the corporate level. Not being the """"knower of all things"""" of how a huge business should operate; from my stance various (managers/leaders) within the Human Resources, Information Technology, Learning & Development, and Benefits need to be HEAVILY evaluated. From my (lowly) perspective, I have interacted with multiple individuals under each of those respective departments that have expressed disappointment and/or distain with those that head said departments. Corporate is, and has been, getting WAY too """"top"""" heavy. This will only lead to toppling over later on... leading to a restructuring that already should have happened. Walden is expanding (AWESOME); with that: GREAT care needs to be considered within its management/leadership.
