TAWS Security

My experience working with this company was defiantly a eye opener, I've learned that no matter how much you contribute you don't always receive the same in return! Loyality is defiantly a two way street. 
Upon hiring at this company TAWS management team make you feel wonderful and hopeful there's going to be a positive outcome. They make you feel that your apart of a wonderful family oriented business. 
 You will dedicate support and push yourself to no extent seeking the approval you will never receive. 
There policies and procedures I totally agree with. safety is everything! They most defiantly have the most professional management team out there when it comes to background and experience.  
Excluding the safety department. Don't expect any positivity from your OH and S management. They will teach and train to the highest capabilities but From my experience when things get complicated or difficult be prepared not to receive any support from the professional. When you make sense or legitate concerns it's easier to push you out the door.
I support the owner of this company a person who was independent that started from the bottom and trying to make it to the top. I support the CEO who's dedication and connections help make this possible for the owners.
As the old saying goes  "Security is Attitude"  you have to do your best and rise above. 
If your looking for a position as a guard:
I recommend this company for someone that is using the company as a stepping stone for higher achievements but for a career based job I wouldn't hold my tongue.

I was really excited to work for TAWS when I first started at the airport but that excitement is gone and the reality of the company has set in. 

The current management have bullied people into going to work when sick. Pestered them to go back to work while sick and require a sick note when they come back or risk suspention/termination.

One employee was terminated by letter, they didn't ever have the courage to tell him in person this was after they forced him to go all nights. 

There are rumors of spy on the teams recording what people say and then going back to employees repeating what was said verbatim. 

There's no benefits, they don't provide you with pants in your uniform, or winter work gloves despite being required to be outside in the winter. Plus the uniform deposit is 500$ that they take from your first 2 paychecks

There is nothing that I can name that makes me want to stay

They make the schedule and pay sound really good but in reality you get more money only because of the hours you work. It actually works out to 21$/hour.

Piece of advice, don't work for this company. If I could give zero stars, I would.

The management is terrible. They guilt trip you into working when your sick. If your on sick leave they bombard you to come back early even when your doctor hasn't approved you to go back. They don't have benefits like they say they do/ or will. They make you pay a $500 uniform deposit when the uniform isn't even worth $250. They let safety scream at employees and make them feel stupid. They don't report serious incidents to wcb when they happen (one new employee on site burnt her foot and had no idea she was suppose to report it to wcb and the company never did tell her she had to and they didn't report it either) During the fire they tried to make employees with sever asthma come back to work when their doctors wouldn't let them renter. 

All in all, if you want a terrible and stressful workplace this is the company for you !!!! 

Don't be crazy, stay away people !!!!

I have worked at a few different positions and am now at YMM, Fort McMurray Airport as a security guard for the facilities and restricted areas. We work 6/6 on 12-hour shifts.

Always upgrading and having to take courses in order to further my career and access to all areas within the airport. Management is fairly easy to work with and are respectful towards me. The only fault that I can find is the pay doesn't reflect on the responsibilities and knowledge that is required to do the higher positions.

its been a few years since I worked for this company, but when I was there it was good. 

You were able to move around a lot, such as change positions in the company. Patrol, gate, camp, site security positions were available.

The company equipment were up to date, the company vehicles were well maintained, and the uniforms were nice.

I would recommend anyone to work for this company.  The company owner is a positive and caring person.  Management staff is wonderful.  Co-workers were great.  Lots of great Teamwork.  Enjoyed working for this company because of the family values they keep.    They are different.  Your not a number...Your a name.

I was lured into working for this company with promise of benefits and better pay. Really, I work more hours for the same amount of pay. It also doesn't help that they lied to me about my benefits package. I will be finding a new job soon as these people couldn't manage their way out of a bag.

If I could rate management a big fat zero I would. They are terrible, rude people who don't care about anybody but themselves. The job itself at the airport was fine, but I sweat it's management's goal to make everyone as miserable as possible. Do NOT work with them unless you want to be miserable.

Really nice co-workers, management was nice but changed hands a lot, usually for the worse. The site I got put at was way too far north with no traveling expenses and poor management made it not worth working for them anymore.

Stressful, poor management, very long hours, minimum pay for the work you do, little to no respect from management and some coworkers, Your treated like a robot, unless bosses like you
