The company is rapidly growing which is great for upward movement of your career. This job is better for single people, especially if they're willing to relocate. There is HUGE opportunity for those that are willing to seek it out! This job is not for everyone. The hours are often times long. They're not consistent with a schedule. And you have to schedule around the client's needs. That's why we're here, to protect a PERSON. That's also the good thing about it. You won't get bored by doing the same thing day after day. You may go to a premier one night, and the next night your driving them to meetings. Iv'e had great leadership in my time with the company. I've always received time off when I asked for it. We all bend over backwards to ensure time off is granted. We all work really hard so it's definitely earned when you take it. Opportunity to travel - Iv'e had the chance to go on international details. You have the opportunity to do several different types of security in this company. From travel details to secure transport to residential and commercial access control and more! Each has their own challenges, but are good to gain knowledge in. Management takes all suggestions and give you feedback on them. I've suggested several changes and have gotten a response on each one. They don't always agree with the suggestions, but they will always give you feedback on why or why not. I feel like the upper senior management does care and listens to the "troops on the ground" with regard to personal well being and family life. Opportunity to make a LOT of money without a degree. You can put your military/law enforcement skills to work! (you don't need to be in those two categories, but it falls in line with the work). If you're a self starter and seek out opportunities, you will go far in the company and have a great career.
