Pros

Easy job, great for people in school, or focusing on something other than work life.

Cons

They hire anyone with lungs. Management is terrible, they are all shady and untrustworthy. You have to watch your paychecks to make sure they are correct if you work overtime because they will say that they will put it on their and take months to compensate you $30. On top of that they don't care for anyone but themselves, management will blame everything on whoever they can, just to save themselves.

Pros

Having worked with the corporate team at Walden Security for almost 15 years, I can say this is a genuine, family-centered culture. We treat our employees like family and are committed every day to find new ways to make our company better in every area. We love our officers- we remind ourselves (and each other) that "if you're not serving the customer, your job is to serve someone who is." One of our core principles is to "always do what's right." We work in a challenging business where thinks often "go wrong", but I've witnessed- and been a part of- countless experiences where our security officers have demonstrated acts of compassion, caring, helping, quick-thinking and problem-solving. The corporate and branch teams are truly dedicated to supporting and developing our security officers. We understand the importance of giving our officers every tool and resource to be successful in their role. I truly love this company and I can't imagine working anywhere else.

Cons

Working at Walden can be challenging for people who do not like structure. We are highly standardized and operate under clearly defined expectations, guidelines, policies and procedures. Not to say we don't have fun (because we do), but if you're the type of person who likes minimal structure, you could feel frustrated working here.

Pros

Good training and supervision. Promote from within with ample opportunity for advancement. A good company to work for if you are looking to make a long term commitment.

Cons

A little too anxious to accommodate their clients. Sometimes physical security has to take precedence over people pleasing. Once can't be all things to all people very effectively.
