The Investigators Group

I worked for IGI for a couple of months and it was my first LP job. Training was only 3 shifts and the job entails a lot of aspects which were not covered in that time.  So your basically forced to learn stuff on your own, no pressure from management to push for aprehensions as long as you are writing prevention reports. Orginally was promised work in Hamilton region and was scheduled to work all over GTA so a lot of driving and mileage added on car, and management isnt too keen on scheduling individuals around other commitments. But if your ready to drive a lot and want LP experience not a bad place to start, just be prepared to work every weekend, work/life balance really does suck.

Working here was a frustrating experience overall. The management is disorganized and communication is poor. Schedules change last minute with little notice, and there’s very little respect for employees’ time. The pay is low compared to the amount of responsibility expected, and there’s almost no opportunity for advancement. Breaks are inconsistent or rushed. It feels like they only care about filling posts rather than treating staff fairly.

At the end of the day, everything comes down to how they treat their staff.  They do not care about their staff at all.  I've only worked for 3 security companies, and this one was by far the worst - the supervisors and managers only talk to you if you make a mistake, usually it isn't even something they explained to you in the first place.  The site i worked at had no training at all, but lots of ways to make big mistakes.

There could have been good things about this job, but when you feel like they are taking advantage of you it isn't so good anymore

The company has a good staff. All staff cooperate with one another, work well as a team. we are all there to help one another whenever needed.

The company also has good clients that has hired them to provide professional security for them. We always make sure we put in 110% when at work and make sure our clients are happy with our service. That is our focus and most important to us security guards as well as management.

As a LP associate your typical day would consist of detecting shoplifters, and deterring or apprehending shoplifters for theft.

This company was great and allowed me to gain skills and a knowledge in the field of loss prevention. The trainers helped a lot when training as individuals who start get to see how some associates go about their work days and approaches on how to detect a shoplifter.

Currently I am responsible for 3 companies accounting cycle, from journal entry to financial report. It includes all accounts business i.e. A/R, A/P, Bank Reconciliation etc. At the same time, effective preparing for payroll over 100 staffs. Monthly report EHT/WSIB and GST/HST quarterly  At year end, produce T4 slip for company staff.

I worked with IGI for 9 months and I had a really good experience with them, they were cooperative and they cared about their employees. I learned alot from them and I really improved my skills in attention to details and organization.

Work as under cover secutiry officer. Arrest indivuals with frauds, and thefts under the criminal code of canada. Hardest part of this job is aressting people and, calming them down. The most enjoyable part of this job is helping clients from loosing goods in merchandise.

The people are great and the interview process was quick and they got me working right away. The supervisor and manager are great, helpful. Job is interesting and everyday is something different. 

I have been working with WINCON SECURITY for almost one year now. I never had an issue with the company and the management team is friendly and supportive. Very satisfied with this company. I am very happy to be a part of the company and very thankful for the opportunity.
