I've been with them for about a year now. I take 1 star away because there's no sick pay or vacation. Maybe something with benefits has, which I declined. If you need babysitting, this is not the place for you. Your usually on your own (which I like) but you have to learn your expectations for your posts fast. Logging and adding up your hours every week is your responsibility. If you earn their trust you will get the best posts with competitive pay. Be upfront with them on where and when you can work from the beginning.

Great company with great instructor ( Kyle)when getting started for D and G class. My only concern is with unarmed and armed pay. Unarmed getting more than armed. Other than that ,the company is Great !and love the fact it's family oriented and they do look out for their employees. It does have room for growth and improvement in some areas, like with RAISES & PTO and getting straight pay for GRIEVANCES and Hurricane shut down. Things out of your control. Tom and Milton made me feel welcome . These guys are great!! They are up front with you and honest. Can't stress it enough Giddens is a good company. But have room for those improvements to maintain employees. Still better than AU..

Linda Bass | Oct 13, 2019

You will get plenty of breaks Mr Tom and Mr Kyle are wonderful instructors..... can not leave early but they give lot of breaks state has certain rules and they go by them I like the way they train both instructors are knowledgeable and answer any questions you may have...Mr Tom does it every week bless his heart he is a great instructor u too Kyle I failed the class g but I am going back I was Rusty but I learned more from Kyle Irwin about weapons than I was taught by another state and it is considered law enforcement (peace officer) in that particular state Kyle is very knowledgeable I will be going back to class with him. I thought it was well worth it even though I didn't pass I learned a lot from him and about different things on a weapon I should of known.38 had more parts I was not aware of the other parts of the weapon, but was not taught.Kyle taught me ,now i know. I enjoyed learning about the other weapons and they are easier, Kyle does everything to help you,neGood Job Kyle

No drug test to take test and class, but you will probably have to take one with your new job as a security guard.

how much $$ do training cost.??

Larry Bussey | Oct 13, 2017
noneyo klotzner | Oct 13, 2017

For the D license it is $100.00 and the course is a 5 day 40 hr course. But that does not cover the cost of your license that is just for the certification that you need for the state of Florida.
