Pros

One of the reason why it is good to work for the company is that the offices I worked at have professionals working there. They have good post in most areas.

Cons

The down side of working there is that sometimes you do find the people you work with and around, can not be so nice to security. You have people disrespect security officers at times and not showing them the respect they deserve.

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.
