Prices Alarms

Price's took a gamble on me in 2010 - I was fresh off the boat from England, and had no qualifications that meant anything in Canada, and no job experience in security. I was hired and worked through some trying times, and built up strong relationships with my peers and the management team. I chose to leave Price's Alarms in 2015 to pursue other ventures. The other ventures did not pan out. While applying for other jobs I threw in a few applications for Price's Alarms, without any hope that they would re-hire me after I had previously left. They re-hired me without hesitation in 2017, and welcomed me back in to the team without any resentment over my previous departure. 

Price's Alarms, the Price's family/ownership and the management team truly do value people who are willing to work and take the time to learn the job and do it right. The management team will always work with and stand-by their team, supporting and leading them. If you're willing to stick your neck out and get to know the management team and ownership, gorsh darn even going as far as to befriend them, you'll find some of the goofiest and friendliest people around.

I have worked for a number of companies of various sizes (both private and publicly traded, with a handful to thousands of employees) and the management at Price’s do stand out. They actually spend time training their employees and developing their management team.  It’s a busy workplace and while it can be challenging at times (juggling with various internal priorities and dealing with difficult customers), the talented performers are recognized. The managers were interested in hearing my feedback and viable suggestions were implemented where possible, and this truly makes an employee feel valued. Price’s was a stepping stone for me and I enjoyed my time there. Victoria is a small city, and it is nice to be able to work at this sizable company.

Good hours to work is the best advantage of this company. Usual 9-5 hours. More is often expected though then what is described in job description. "Light" troubleshooting is often fully troubleshooting clients through technical problems. Unless there is a problem with the customer's system, tier 1 support handles everything from start to finish. The pay and benefits is not good for this level of knowledge and skill set. Expectations from management change at will. If you can nod and smile, you will do well here.

Worked here as a service technician and have to say it was by far the bet place I have ever worked. Great people and resources to help you along should you need it or get stuck on challenging jobs. I never felt overworked or stressed out which is rare in this industry, especially in a bigger city. Great firm work hours with nothing expected outside of working hours, allowing you to have a normal life. Learned a lot here, unfortunately I had to leave for family reasons but I do plan on coming back in a couple years and would love to work here again if given the chance.

Consistent work flow, with interesting challenges to keep you sharp and expand your knowledge, learning opportunities each day, and great support from wonderful co-workers in each department. A large, and ever growing company with extremely down to earth, and talented members of management to lead us to success, and great customer service.

This company does not operate on work ethic and is strictly on what your peers think of you. The management in this department is very cryptic and unclear on what is expected from one person. You have to guess to what issues you maybe having and correct them because no one is going to tell you. The communication to the employees is very limited and causes a lot of issues within each department.

I appreciate Price's gave me a chance and hired me even though I had very little related experience. The position was fast paced with lots to learn; my coworkers were nice and supportive in helping me learn the job. I enjoyed being able to help solve customers technical issues and the logistical challenges of scheduling techs.

I would not recommend this company. They are very disorganized though they believe they are well run.  They do not treat the staff well at all and in my opinion view them as disposable.  I was there for 4 yrs and saw a company that holds a compliment of about 150 staff company wide and have gone through more than 400 people in the time I was there.

This is a fast-paced job, with a lot of information to learn. Once you have some experience and fill in the gaps, it's quite fun to figure out the puzzles each day. 

Always something new to learn, and if that's what you are looking for this is for you!

Very satisfying and fulfilling work, friendly staff, great clients, good pay and benefits. Relaxing desk work with great chairs, an hour total of paid break time, social fund for staff members, very accommodating and understanding management, great training.
