Pros

good sites available, mostly responsible officers and managers. benefits offered.

Cons

benefits offered but extremely expensive, wages not current with cost of living, no raises unless the client agrees to it in their contract - which rarely happens. managers well-compensated at the expense of officers' benefits and wages. Rarely offer overtime becaus managers receive less of a bonus. Can be discriminatve towards women and OVERLY lean towards hiring ex-military. Definitely a matter of "who you know" when it comes to placement and promotion.

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.
