Pros

Workload is easy. Requires very little thinking. Flexible depending on your life situation

Cons

Management is awful. Pay isn't great. Full time employees cannot make use of their "generous benefits package" no paid time off within the 1st year. Uniform allowance is taken out of your pay at a rate of $20 a check. Same goes for your guard license. Pretty anything you need to perform your job, you pay for it. Pretty dumb considering they NEED YOU to perform the job.

Pros

Some of the people you meet are cool and you make real good connections with the professional guards (not a lot, but i got lucky)

Cons

*Management doesn't answer their phones *Management don't want to help you address the issues onsite unless the manager of that site has an issue. *Rude and non responsive office. *Operations managers and client managers are useless. (Their assistants do a better job than they do) *The guards are not the priority to management and the company. Very childish and hostile environment. *A lack of structure, communication and support.
