Pros

Walden Security provides good benefits and the websites to view your training and pay statements are good tools. Walden Security human resources and benefits personnel are readily available and receptive.

Cons

Walden Security has to improve in dealing with the Washington DC district, since they are different and operate 24/7, 365 days a year. There has to be better incentives for SSO's working weekends and holidays. A majority of the courthouses in the United States operate Monday-Friday, and are off on Saturday, Sunday and Holidays. A majority of the SSO's are retired law enforcement officers and do not want to work Saturday, Sunday or Holidays. On another note Walden Security needs to be more consistent with their discipline of employees, some minor violations end up with termination and more egregious violations nothing is done.

Pros

From the start, I was """"over the moon"""" when I discovered Walden Culture valued our Officers over any client (within reason). Focus on Officer safety and more importantly, MORAL - over the money being paid to Walden; this illustrated to me that Walden is doing our industry correctly! As it should be; Setting the STANDARD! When I first came to walden I had a particular version of how the Security Industry operated. Walden showed me it could be so much better and, in my view, correct with integrity, honor, duty, and respect!

Cons

In my humble opinion, there needs to be a shake up with leadership, on the corporate level. Not being the """"knower of all things"""" of how a huge business should operate; from my stance various (managers/leaders) within the Human Resources, Information Technology, Learning & Development, and Benefits need to be HEAVILY evaluated. From my (lowly) perspective, I have interacted with multiple individuals under each of those respective departments that have expressed disappointment and/or distain with those that head said departments. Corporate is, and has been, getting WAY too """"top"""" heavy. This will only lead to toppling over later on... leading to a restructuring that already should have happened. Walden is expanding (AWESOME); with that: GREAT care needs to be considered within its management/leadership.
