Pros

- Straight forward work (depending on security/protection experience) - Paid on time - Benefits

Cons

- Managers are less competent than expected - No training opportunities to expand protection skills - Convoluted on boarding process, I dealt with three people and all asked the same questions regarding my background/experience. Then had Client interviews which ultimately determined eligibility. - Unless you work only one site, the time management system is complicated and is not explained at all in the beginning. - On site training was not specific and haphazardly put together. You cannot expect someone to not make some mistakes when there is no formal process by which to learn basics.
