Pros

I receive a check for the hours I work. Just like any other job.

Cons

Management is horrible. They state you need to contact them for all of your needs (i.e. personal days, vacation days, etc). But they never contact you back. They also don't like to pay you for personal days or vacation days. The company is now in downtown Chicago locations so they're not used to abiding by Union rules. Horrible communication.

Pros

Some of the people you meet are cool and you make real good connections with the professional guards (not a lot, but i got lucky)

Cons

*Management doesn't answer their phones *Management don't want to help you address the issues onsite unless the manager of that site has an issue. *Rude and non responsive office. *Operations managers and client managers are useless. (Their assistants do a better job than they do) *The guards are not the priority to management and the company. Very childish and hostile environment. *A lack of structure, communication and support.
