Pros

Some of the pros of working for this company is a lengthy list but I will only name a few. First off the communication that this company has is amazing. Emails are sent not only to your personal email but to your cell phone and to the website we use on a daily basis. If you need anything at all any time of day or night there is always someone there who is able to answer your questions. Everyone is very friendly and always is willing to help you out. You never feel like you need to keep quiet about something. If there is something bothering you, you can go ask anyone or tell anyone anything you need to say. Everyone in the field or in the office is always willing to listen and help you with your problems.

Cons

Training is a little lacking, but with the new take over it is bound to be a little hard to communicate the training and that is something that is being worked on. For those employees who have never had report writing classes it would be a good idea for them to have a little more time spent on how to write a proper report. We want everything to look and sound professional. This is being worked on and I see that it is being worked on.

Pros

It's a job; there are no pros other than quitting.

Cons

Low pay due to the ungodly high rate of royalty fees a franchise has to pay 9 and 11% of each contract. The territory debt each franchise owner incurs is crazy! The territory debt is anywhere from $1-6 million to be paid back at aproxemintly 10%. Each franchise owner has to renew their franchise agreement every 3 years. Signal puts franchise owners into serious debt. Franchise owners are forced to enter into contracts with strategic partners at no profit, all the while being told it will help pay off the debt sooner, as if that is a good thing. Because of this model, the guards suffer the most. Franchise owners can't increase pay for the people who show up and do the hard part of the job. No one will move up in the franchise model; someone has to quit for that to happen. DOn't let the "career opportunities" that are preached fool you. They mean nothing and are just there to make you feel like you're achieving something when, in reality, you're not. The training provided is a complete joke and is highly overrated. You will be treated as if you're important, but it's just abuse. Abuse that starts from the very, very top.
