Pros

The pay is better than other local or regional security companies. Easy to remain employed by company. No pressure to perform.

Cons

No cost of living, shift, or performance raises. Staffing of sites based on timing not performance (people with no proven performance in security industry hired into better paying positions over loyal and proven employees). Never hear from upper management(assistant gerneral manager and above) unless there is a problem and by then the damage is done. Ownership over burden support staff and account managers. No written evaluations. Issues like performance and attendance done on a case by case method. Company lacks standards and porly communicates. The senior management has no respect for or concern for the safety of its employees. Certain managers are simply nasty to the officers.

Pros

Will hire anyone Provided uniforms Provided training Can provide rides during winter storms On job training

Cons

High staff turnover Will lie and impose double standards on you Favoritism Management will ignore you if you complain Will demote, cut pay, cut hours, without warning or reason There is no teamwork or reasonable communication No benefits no retirement Only one week of paid vacation no matter how long you've been with them and it's at half your weekly pay if at all sometimes they put it down as unpaid despite sending a request form. They will write you up for leaving if you have a death in the family. If your relief doesn't arrive they make it your problem to fix. Clock in/out breaks often. Dispatch unreliable, poorly trained but they out rank you and will change your clock in/out times without telling you Ignores issues at sites that clients create that pose risks. Blames and punishes employees for losing sites but won't manage, communicate, or train better. Write up system is guilty until proven innocent unless they already made up their minds regardless of evidence. Management will not answer calls or texts even during emergencies at a site
