Pros

Some site posts have good benefits. Everyone I've worked with (who isn't management) so far has been a great team member. OT hours are almost always available if you need extra money.

Cons

Management does not care about their employees. I was a loyal employee known to always be on time/trustworthy for 6 years. Regardless, I was left out in the cold once they lost their contract with my last post. They've offered me positions that don't meet the hours I'm available, pay less than I was making,( let alone what im worth,) and/or has less benefits. I was told i didn't need to worry about job placement ahead of time by Management, I believe this was a way to just dismiss my concerns. I just would have appreciated honesty, so I could have found a job ahead of time. Would have been great to have been shown a little respect considering the effort I put in to be a great employee. Also, every couple months I'd find that I was missing several hours of pay. I always got my money, eventually. But I know alot of employees who don't check their paycheck! Please, ALWAYS check your paychecks- people!

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.
