As an employee of Securitas, a private security company, I found their employee references to be more than fair. Firstly, private security companies is big business, and since the primary field of expertise is physical security, they eagerly hire transitioning and retiring service members from the U.S. military. Secondly, when completing your application and resume/references attachment, they do not require previous work evaluations. Simply a time frame and supervisor contact information of when you worked. However, they also look at you DD-214, or military discharge paperwork, to determine the nature of your military discharge in the first place. If it is anything but "Honorable", then they may follow up with contacting your previous supervisor regarding your previous work performance. Since the military carefully screens your discharge to prevent any potential liability issues, you are less likely to contest what your previous supervisor has said, unless you find them to be outright false and slanderous. However, many serving in senior leadership roles are less likely to jeopardize their careers by outright falsifying information about you.
