Pros

Pay above most though I have been told Allied Barton is close.

Cons

Re-submitting this after the computer here failed to realize that screwed is not a nasty word. O.o No raises, uniforms out of date including tools like firearms for armed posts. Using you own vehicle. Buying things like flashlights, shoes, office supplies and such to make your job a little more easy. Eccentric military and police like protocols. Company seems more interested in government contracts and not civil ones, this really limits positions for others who get laid off or the contract goes under. No retirement, pension like programs. 401 K's are NOT matched let alone even contributed. When they loose a contract you get put on as needed status. This gets them out of paying unemployment costs making you ether quit or force to work all over the place breaking even on travel costs.
