  Bucking For A Promotion/Raise

   As I've said before, Non-Commissioned officers can make more than Commissioned, or Supervisors, etc. Just because you're worth $11.00 an hour doesn't mean you'll get paid that much. Too often, private security companies pay based on how much they're getting for the client. However, should you be working as an "in house" security guard, you might be able to negotiate a pay raise.

   For a security guard/investigation company, you could try to ask for a raise. But, prior to a raise, know what you're worth. If you're making less than $9.00, and have a good worth ethic, a team player, make it your shifts on time, and been with the company for at least a year, go for it. Be prepared to hear no. Most smaller companies can't afford you hand you one. It's better to work for a company or "in house" that offers benefits, paid vacation, etc. 

   The same might go for a promotion. If you want to be a supervisor, first check if they are openings. Then, ask the manager or resource personnel what are the requirements and the base pay. The only advantage besides a few cents on your paycheck is the added responsibility. When you leave this company, you might be a better position and pay for having the experience.

   Don't jump ships until you know if the grass is greener on the other site. Do your homework. Know their starting pay, the post you'll be assigned to, hours, benefits. If this is in house, do the same. If you can find an "in house" job, by all means, check it out. That is if you're looking for a stable work environment, better conditions, etc.
