Pros

There are no pros to working at this company unless you are buddies with the owners.

Cons

Benefits are terrible. No paid leave for mothers. Expect to take fmla. Pay is terrible. Every position is underpaid. Management is terrible for most departments internally. Good ole boy system runs rampant. They even went with an outside hire when merging departments for the VP role to oversee the new department when plenty of long term company people were qualified and eager to grow with the company. They don't really do anything about anyone who is bad at their job. Not until they say some racist remarks or do anything else grossly indecent to where they have to fire them. No consistency on managerial decisions. Literally is up to whoever the manager of the department is and how they're feeling that day.

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.
