Bad company, big turnover

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

A little better than nothing

Cons

No pay raises, big turnover rate. On armed sites you have to purchase your own firearm which they designate. They strive for a culture of snitching on fellow employees. If you don't give proper notice when resigning your last check is minimum wage, you lose $100 uniform deposit and can't work for the company again. Many times you are issued used uniforms. Micromanaging from the owner.

Pros

This company is very thorough, detailed, and well-managed. They are very straightforward and flexible about scheduling. It is not uncommon for people to move up the ladder quite quickly with this company. There's plenty of opportunity for overtime if you want it, location/staff pending. Fair, regular hours. The call-off policy and benefits are fair. Overall, the work is not hard. You are treated fairly and with respect. Just do your job, communicate when you need to, and don't quit without leaving a notice.

Cons

This company is not for everyone. Some policies you may want to consider are as follows: - You sign an agreement that if you quit without notice, your last check is docked to minimum wage, and your uniform deposit is not returned. - You must communicate frequently with your scheduler and management. - You must always answer the phone/call back asap. - You must maintain a professional appearance, clean shaven/hair up, clean uniform, no eccentric piercings, etc. - All employees are encouraged to report any wrongdoing by other employees, (Being late, unkempt uniform, wrong footwear, etc.) To management. These policies are well-explained to you at orientation and you sign to agree with them before you are offered a position.

Pros

You'll get a consistent paycheck

Cons

You have to pay for a terrible uniform, they are constantly begging for people to be on call while offering no benefits of it. Overtime tends to be limited. And the management is egotistical and sacrifices emoyees on the constant. Turnover was extremely high, and after 6 months I was the most senior guard at my location.
