Wages
A majority of security
firms false advertise their starting wages. They promise high wages in their
help wanted ads and then offer low beginning wages to applicants once they
complete the interview process. At Security Professionals of Illinois we believe in being fair
and honest. Our officers pay is based on the percentage that our clients pay.
All security firms determine security guard wages this way. While some clients
pay high rates to obtain the best officers and reduce turnover, other clients
pay average billing rates. We start our officers at competitive rates and then
advance those that are exceptional and deliver higher wages with additional
responsibility.
