I had to call with some other questions and believe it or not Mike a real human answered and took care of all my needs.

Nyle gave me a list of equipment to buy right down to the description, price and where to order the equipment. Very smooth, easy and saved me money. I had just moved from out of state to a new home at the top of a mountain. I had no service on anything. Nyle installed Starlink giving me back phone and computer service. He mounted 3 TVs in 3 rooms with no wires showing and programmed each TV. Nyle hard wired signal boosters throughout the house and garage. He hooked up ring cameras and programmed them. Nyle reprogrammed the electronic locks on all exterior doors. He cleaned up my phone and computer and taught me how to use and operated the systems. Nyle set up, installed, programmed every electronic devise in my home, giving me 100% of what I needed and wanted. Nyle followed up to see if I had any questions and if everything was running OK. It was. I cannot say enough about Take One Systems. They are the best in what they do, and I will be personally recommend them to anyone I talk too in the future. W. Baugh, Post Falls, ID

I decided to install a security system for our home in Northern Idaho. When I talked to the Eric I…read moreknew he is the guy I want to install and maintain our system, he is very knowledgeable. My wife and I knew what we wanted the alarm system to do as we had an elaborate system previously, but Eric was quite thorough in determining our needs and how to address them using the newer systems. The new residential systems are VERY easy to use and more capable than the systems we had in California which were based on old legacy systems. The new systems are also much more cost effective! Our system is connected to a monitoring company which contacts police or fire in the event of an alarm. The installation was very professional and they took the time to ensure I was satisfied with the install and that it operated properly. We are extending the system to our shop next week, and I'm considering installing some cameras too. I feel confident in Evergreen Security.

We had it monitored for the…read morerequired number of years and a few years beyond, but because we had so many people coming and going and setting off the alarm, we decided to use the system, but not have it connected to the police. It was perfect. In 2016, the alarm starting going off randomly and we called allied and asked a tech to come out and service the system. No problem- a new battery was installed and we paid the service fee. Now- in 2024, the battery has worn out again and the alarm is going off randomly throughout the day and night. Allied has changed its policy and will not service the alarm systems they install unless you pay for monthly monitoring. They will not even let you talk to a technician. They are nice enough, but if you need a technician and don't want to pay for monitoring you might consider another company. Luckily, they suggested I google changing the battery and I think I can do it.

I Worked out of this Securitas branch as a security guard in Quincy, WA. I didn't know what to…read moreexpect from working as a security professional for this company. I didn't have any allusions of being a gung-ho law enforcement officer and I knew I would have as much law enforcement authority as any guy walking the street (in fact less authority), but I expected the smallest amount of standards from a company that is a leader in its industry. Where to begin... As far as I can make out, the only prerequisite to being hired with this company is that you must have a pulse and be a member of the homo sapiens genus ( The latter requirement is up for debate). You would be flabbergasted if you saw the motley crew of mouth breathers tasked with the responsibility of guarding things as important as multi-million dollar data centers. But anyway, I digress... The skills you need to vigilantly secure and protect valuable businesses can apparently be learned in a four hour ,mostly self guided, orientation. Myself and a handful of fresh recruits entered a conference room and were instructed to start filling out the mountain of paperwork in a folder laid in front of us. The "instructor" left the room and we were told to come find her when we were done. The paperwork portion of our so-called "training" easily took up our first hour. We fetched the instructor when we were done. I drew the short straw since I was sitting closest to the laptop and was instructed to play a series of instructional dvds. Again the instructor left the room. The instructional videos were just as laughably bad as you might think; reminiscent of those outdated educational videos produced in the 70s that they still made you watch in 2008. This took up most of the remaining time. Finally it rapped up with a quick introduction of branch managers, supervisors, scheduling coordinators, HR reps, ect. This was the first and last time I ever saw 99% of these people. They sure do believe in delegating responsibility! Now the fun begins. You are given a couple of bags filled with uniforms that I can only speculate are made out of recycled grocery bags. I was assigned as an multi-site "officer" (using the term officer gives me a silly feeling, like a obese man who tells others and himself that he's actually big-boned). My job was essentially to cover shifts for people who call in sick. I was immediately struck by the absurdly high turnover rate. I understand that entry level jobs that pay near minimum wage rates have hordes of people who constantly come and go, but this was a meat grinder. After a couple of months I didn't bother to learn new names because, statistically speaking, they wouldn't be there next week. The ones who stuck around were disillusioned with the whole work experience. Disillusionment inevitably breeds indifference. You would be hard pressed to find a group of workers who cared less about the goings-on at their place of employment. You could march a battalion of men onto one of these so-called "secured" sites and no one would so much as lift their gaze from their cellphone screens for a second. At the same time I was amazed at the level of ingenuity some will reach to present the illusion of work being done. I could write a how-to of all the methods I learned while working for Securitas, but I know the repercussions of spoiling a good thing for others. It all boils down to a lack of leadership. The workers don't care about bosses who don't even know they exist. I called one of my bosses in Spokane and her response was, "who are you again?" Pretty much sums up the whole experience.
