A couple of weeks ago I attended training for a state security license through a local security company who was actively recruiting. I attended the classes, showing up on time and fully participating each day. My test scores were the highest in the class.
On my application I had indicated that I wasn't willing to commute out of town, knowing they had posts right here where I live. Following training I was informed that they wanted to assign me to a post some 20 miles away in another county. As it was clearly explained, I had every right to refuse such an assignment and I did so, politely and professionally. I was told that they would have to "figure something out" regarding giving me a more local post as there were currently no full time openings where I live.
As I know someone who works a post here in town, I know this was a blatant lie as they were working some officers double shifts and seven days a week to keep the post manned. I waited patiently for the Account manager to call me regarding assignment. At the end of that week I called him as I had not heard from him. He informed me that I would have to speak with the Recruiting Manager regarding a new assignment. Ummm, ok.
The Recruiting Manager informed me that he would need to speak with the Account Manager (can you say "run around"?) and would be getting back to me. This was was Monday. By Friday I still hadn't heard anything and so called the Recruiting Manager yet again. He said he was working with the Account manager and I could expect to hear from him.
This morning I again called the Recruiting Manager and he expressed some surprise that I hadn't heard from the Account Manager over the weekend and assured me I would hear from him soon.
After a couple of hours I called the Account Manager who was driving at the time and said he would call me from the office in about 10 minutes. An hour later I called him again and he said he hadn't fogotten about me and would return my call shortly. I am now awaiting his call. Again.
This seems to be the most severely unprofessional bunch of people I have ever considered working with and at this point am now not sure if I even want to work with people like this.
